Formation of cyanamides from secondary amines in human saliva

J S Wishnok et al. Science. .

Abstract

1-Morpholinocarbonitrile (1-cyanomorpholine) was formed from morpholine when this amine was incubated in whole human saliva. Several other secondary amines appeared to form analogous products, and this transformation may therefore represent a general metabolic pathway for amines in saliva.
