https://www.selleckchem.com/products/mki-1.html Despite the daily consumption of copper chlorophylls (E-141i), the green food colorants in foods high in fats, there is a general need for knowledge regarding their exact composition. Consequently, we have analyzed by HPLC-ESI(+)/APCI(+)-hrTOF-MS2 the accurate composition of different commercial copper chlorophyll colorants for the first time. Data showed a favored yield of copper pheophytins from a series, while pheophytins from b series are preferentially no complexed with copper. The copper pheophytins present in the food colorants consisted mainly of three structural rearrangements. New fragmentation patterns and structural assignments have been described for several copper pheophytins. During the ingestion of copper chlorophylls, no chlorophyll derivative was present in serum nor urine except a new copper-pyroporphyrin a accumulated in a few livers. In any case, this green additive could represent the ideal food colorant, as most of the copper pheophytins are excreted in the feces showing almost no absorption of copper-chlorophylls compounds. BACKGROUND We assess the longitudinal associations between marijuana and cigar (little cigars and cigarillos [LCCs] and large cigars) use on subsequent initiation of marijuana and cigar use. METHODS Data are from a cohort study of 2189 young adults recruited in fall 2010 from 11 colleges in the Southeast. We used discrete-time survival analysis to examine whether ever use of marijuana at baseline (spring 2011, freshman year) predicted initiation of LCCs and large cigars and whether ever use of these cigar products predicted initiation of marijuana use across 10 waves of data collection (2011-2018). RESULTS The sample was 65.3 % female, 83.6 % White, 5.9 % Hispanic, and 61.8 % had college-educated mothers. At baseline, 70 % reported never using LCCs, 71 % reported never using large cigars, and 74 % reported never using marijuana. Ever use of marijuana at baseline was associate
