title: Formation of cyanamides from secondary amines in human saliva.
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.
