Deck 10 Flashcards
Mechanism of action of brodifacoum
o Causes dehydration – rodents leave home & look for water
o Bleeding occurs, followed by shock, unconsciousness & death
o Dehydrated bodes dry up & undergo mummification
Determination of brodifacoum (bromadiolone) in biological material
TLC – strong UV fluorescence (dark blue)
Anticoagulant rodenticides inhibit
The production of prothrombin
Specific antidote in warfarin poisoning
vitamin K or K1
Mechanism of action of MCPA consists in the inhibition of
The synthesis of ribonuclease, uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation and demyelination of peripheral nerves
The result of walfarin determination by TLC method is the stain of the following color
Blue on yellow background
The principal constituent of opium (10%) is
morphine
Monesin and salinomycin can be determined by
TLC- Thin layer chromatography
MCPA (2-methyl1-4 chlorophenoxyacetic) is used as
Herbicides and algicide
Dragendorff and Marquis agents are the detecting agents for determination of
alkaloids
