In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Detection of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids: Immunogens Based on Quaternary Pyrrolizidinium Salts, published in 1996-04-30, which mentions a compound: 57825-30-6, Name is 1-(Bromomethyl)-4-ethylbenzene, Molecular C9H11Br, Quality Control of 1-(Bromomethyl)-4-ethylbenzene.
Polyclonal antibody-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were developed for the detection of retrorsine (1, 351 g/mol), monocrotaline (2, 325 g/mol), and retronecine (3, 155 g/mol) in the ppb range. A set of three bifunctional linking arms was synthesized. By N-alkylation of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) retrorsine, monocrotaline, and retronecine acetonide, six haptens were synthesized and used to generate rabbit antisera. The resulting anti-retrorsine antiserum gave a 50% inhibition (I50) value of 0.9 ppb for retrorsine with detection limits of 0.5-10 ppb. The same ELISA system also detected isatidine (retrorsine N-oxide) dihydrate (403 g/mol) with an I50 of 1 ppb and senecionine (352 g/mol) with an I50 of 100 ppb. A second monocrotaline-based ELISA detected monocrotaline with an I50 of 36 ppb 2 with detection limits of 5-500 ppb and shows no cross-reactivity with 1 or senecionine; this ELISA demonstrates the potential for the substrate-specific detection method. A third retronecine-based ELISA detects 3 with an I50 of 3000 ppb (3 ppm) and detection limits of 600-10,000 ppb. None of these ELISAs cross-react with the structurally similar swainsonine or lupinine alkaloids. PAs were detected in extracts of Senecio vulgaris and Crotalaria retusa, but not in Lupinus spp., as a demonstration of the ELISA’s usefulness.
This literature about this compound(57825-30-6)Quality Control of 1-(Bromomethyl)-4-ethylbenzenehas given us a lot of inspiration, and I hope that the research on this compound(1-(Bromomethyl)-4-ethylbenzene) can be further advanced. Maybe we can get more compounds in a similar way.
