Disease relevance of Hexamethylene glycol

• Samples from patients who had a myocardial infarction or who had undergone bypass surgery were assayed simultaneously by the 1,6-hexanediol method, the Roche "Isomune LD," and by electrophoresis on agarose gel [1].
• We report two cases of workers in the printing industry who developed allergic contact dermatitis to 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) within a short period of exposure [2].

High impact information on Hexamethylene glycol

• The major component of E was identified as 1,6-hexanediol by its behavior and/or that of its benzoate derivative on cation exchange, anion exchange, thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography, and by recrystallization of a mixture of the E and diol benzoates to constant specific radioactivity [3].
• Apparently, this compound is rapidly converted to 1,6-hexanediol by liver or lung microsomes [4].
• We now demonstrate that a heterodimer complex is formed between 1-Cys Prx with a C-terminal His6 tag and GST pi upon incubation of the two proteins at pH 8.0 in buffer containing 20% 1,6-hexanediol to dissociate the homodimers, followed by dialysis against buffer containing 2.5 mM glutathione (GSH) but lacking 1,6-hexanediol [5].
• Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme 1 as determined by inhibition with 1,6-hexanediol and by two other methods in patients with myocardial infarction or cardiac-bypass surgery [1].
• We report here that the nonneurotoxic hexacarbons, 1,6-hexanediol and 2,4-hexanedione (2,4-HD), had no primary effect on intermediate filament distribution in fibroblasts, although the profound, nonspecific cytotoxicity of the latter controverted comparisons with equimolar, effective concentrations of 2,5-HD [6].

Anatomical context of Hexamethylene glycol

• Saline, hydrochloric acid and 1,6-hexanediol, a water-soluble hexacarbon also lacking systemic neurotoxic properties, produced no intra-fascicular changes when locally applied to the sciatic nerve [7].
• Optimum concentration and application time of 1,6-hexanediol as a dentin primer [8].

Associations of Hexamethylene glycol with other chemical compounds

• The synthesis of three hydrophobic peptides, which are partial sequences of thioredoxin, on a newly developed, flexible 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate cross-linked polystyrene, in good yield and purity, is described [9].
• 0. The glass transition temperature of the poly (ortho esters) can be continuously and predictably varied between 115 and 20 degrees Celsius by using an appropriate ratio of 1,6-hexanediol, and trans-cyclohexanedimethanol in the condensation reaction with the diketene acetal [10].
• The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the safety of ethylene glyco (EG) and 1,6-hexanediol (HD) solutions as experimental dentin primers when subjected to the guinea pig maximization test (GPMT), primary irritation test, cumulative skin irritation test and human patch test [11].

Gene context of Hexamethylene glycol

• Synthesis of thioredoxin partial sequences on 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDODA)-cross-linked polystyrene resin [12].
