We evaluated the toxic effects of four currently used chemolytic solvents--dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, 99%), ethyl propionate (EP, 99%), tetrasodium ethyl-dimethyl tetraacetate (4Na-EDTA, 2%, pH 11), and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE, purity = 99.5%) in an animal model. Each solvent was

Experiments were performed in anesthetized rabbits and piglets to assess gallbladder mucosal injury during irrigation with methyl tert-butyl ether, a C5 ether, or ethyl propionate, a C5 ester--two organic solvents used in the contact dissolution of cholesterol gallstones. In 44

We performed experiments in anesthetized piglets with two cholesterol gallstone solvents, methyl tert-butyl ether and ethyl propionate, to determine whether blood levels of either solvent would increase during gallbladder instillation of these solvents under conditions simulating gallstone dissolution. The solvent

A novel synthesis of Hantzsch-type N-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines from salicaldehydes, ethyl propiolate, and amines has been developed. Salicaldehydes were treated with ethyl propiolate in the presence of N-methylmorpholine to give ethyl 3-(2-formylphenoxy)propenoates. Three equivalents of ethyl 3-(2-formylphenoxy)propenoates reacted with 1 equiv

There is a discrepancy between in vitro cholesterol dissolving efficacy of methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethyl propionate and cholesterol gall stone dissolution in vivo. This study investigated whether the presence of bile changes the cholesterol dissolving capacity of MTBE and
