Summary Summary. Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is one of the liver (hepatic) porphyrias. AIP is caused by low levels of porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD), an enzyme also often called hydroxymethylbilane synthase.
Pyridine-N-oxide is the heterocyclic compound with the formula C 5 H 5 NO. This colourless, hygroscopic solid is the product of the oxidation of pyridine. It was originally prepared using peracids as the oxidising agent. The molecule is planar.yridine-N-oxide is the heterocyclic compound with the formula C 5 H 5 NO.

The pyrophoricity of hydrides and oxides forming on the surface of plutonium can cause it to look like an ember under certain conditions. A pyrophoric substance (from Greek ÏÏÏÎ¿ÏÏÏÎ¿Ï, pyrophoros, fire-bearing) ignites spontaneously in air at or below 55 Â°C (130 Â°F).xamples are iron sulfide and many reactive metals including uranium, when powdered or thinly sliced. Pyrophoric materials are often water-reactive as well and will ignite when they contact water or humid air. They can be handled safely in atmospheres of argon or (with a few exceptions) nitrogen.
