The present invention relates to a continuous process for the preparation of N-alkyl-nitratoethylnitramines (e.g. NENA compounds, DINA).

The present invention relates to trifluoroacetyl hydrazide compounds and medical uses thereof. The compounds have a structure of the following formula:

##STR00001##

The compounds showed multifunctional mechanisms, including inhibition of glutamate excitotoxicity, activation of MEF2 transcriptional activity, clearance of free radicals, and promotion of nerve differentiation, and has a better protective effect on cells especially nerve cells. The compound can be used to prepare prophylactic or therapeutic medicaments with cytoprotective effects, for the prevention or treatment of diseases related to glutamate receptor activation, MEF2 disorders or excessive free radicals generation. The diseases include, for example, neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson and stroke, and the free radicals related diseases such as heart disease, myocardial ischemia, diabetes and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

The objects of embodiments in the present disclosure are to provide a method capable of recovering two or more amine compounds at the same time from a gas or solution, and also to provide a method capable of analyzing the recovered amines. The amine-recovering method comprises the steps (A) and (B). In the step (A), the gas or solution is brought into contact with a solid adsorbent so that the adsorbent may retain the amines. In the step (B), the amines retained by the adsorbent in the step (A) are eluted out by use of a basic compound-containing organic solvent. The solid adsorbent has a substituent group represented by SO.sub.3M (M is H or an alkali metal).
