(n.) A resinous substance, dry and brittle, obtained from the Styrax benzoin, a tree of Sumatra, Java, etc., having a fragrant odor, and slightly aromatic taste. It is used in the preparation of benzoic acid, in medicine, and as a perfume.

Example Sentences:
(1) We report on a patient who developed necrotizing contact dermatitis after a single topical application of tincture of benzoin and a pressure bandage following enucleation of an eye.
(2) The patient was a 17-year-old female Indian who had received some 3 to 8 cc of a 20 percent mixture of podophyllum resin in compound tincture of benzoin (approximately equal to 0.4 gm of podophylotoxin) as an application to her vulvar condylomata.
(3) Isopropyl alcohol, Betadine, benzoin, and Cidex do not damage the catheter.
(4) The genetic toxicity of 12 chemicals with sufficient data is discussed in detail: benzoin, caffeine caprolactam, ethanol, halothane, hycanthone methanesulfonate, malathion, maleic hydrazide, methotrexate, 1-naphthylamine, 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine, and p-phenylenediamine.
(5) The results showed that dressings containing tincture of benzoin adversely affected wound healing in children.
(6) A high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the assay of angiotensin-converting enzyme in human serum and for the separation of angiotensins and their analogues after pre-column fluorescence derivatization with benzoin.
(7) The method has been applied to 2 benzoin preparations and the results were compared with those from the British Pharmacopoeia method.
(8) This ability is due to benzaldehyde lyase, a new type of enzyme that irreversibly cleaves the acyloin linkage of benzoin, producing two molecules of benzaldehyde.
(9) The method is based on the quantification of the enzymatically produced angiotensin I. Angiotensin I liberated from a synthetic substrate (tridecapeptide of human angiotensinogen) and [Val5]-angiotensin I as an internal standard are converted into fluorescent derivatives by reaction with benzoin.
(10) One such scheme utilizes a selective reaction of benzoin with the guanidine moiety to derivatize arginine residues occurring in a peptide.
(11) It was therefore concluded that caprolactam and benzoin are not clastogenic in the mouse micronucleus test.
(12) The presence of hydrophobic solvent in the reaction medium provides more favourable conditions for benzoin condensation proceeding.
(13) Two methods of podophyllin application, namely hospital-application (regimen A) and self-application (regimen B) of 25% podophyllin in tincture of benzoin compound for the treatment of penile condylomata were compared.
(14) The percutaneous absorption of the fragrances benzyl acetate and five other benzyl derivatives (benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, benzamide, benzoin and benzophenone) was determined in vivo in monkeys.
(15) Benzoin and caprolactam were examined for their capability of inducing alkaline DNA fragmentation in mouse and rat liver DNA after treatment in vivo.
(16) The benzoin reaction, described by Guillain, Laroche and Lechelle (1920) was probably the first test evaluating local (intrathecal) immunity in inflammatory diseases of the nervous system.
(17) The monomer mixture consists of equal proportions by volume of acrylonitrile, dimethyl acrylamide and methyl methacrylate, and may be polymerized by exposure to ultraviolet light in the presence of benzoin methyl ether as catalyst.

(19) The peptides are automatically converted into fluorescent derivatives with benzoin, a fluorogenic reagent for guanidino compounds, after separation on a reversed-phase column (TSKgel ODS-120T) and detection in an ultraviolet absorption detector.
(20) Both non-carcinogenic compounds, benzoin and caprolactam, exhibited no activity.
