Differential immunotoxic effects of inorganic and organic mercury species in vitro.

abstract：:Rates of alkaline hydrolysis of 18 natural or semisynthetic pyrrolizidine alkaloids, all retronecine diesters, have been compared. Steric hindrance around the ester groups was the major factor inhibiting hydrolysis. Relative rates of hydrolysis by esterases in a rat liver homogenate were also dependent on steric hindr...
