| indocyanine green | <chemical> A tricarbocyanine dye occurring as an olive-brown, dark green, dark blue, or black powder; used intravenously as a diagnostic aid in the determination of blood volume, cardiac output, and hepatic function. Pharmacological action: dyes. Chemical name: 1H-Benz(e)indolium, 2-(7-(1,3-dihydro-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-2H-benz(e)indol-2-ylidene)-1,3,5-heptatrienyl)-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-, inner salt, sodium salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| indocybin | 3-(2-dimethylamino)ethylindol-4-ol dihydrogen phosphate;the N',N' -dimethyl derivative of 4-hydroxytryptamine; obtained from the fruiting bodies of the fungus Psilocybe mexicana and other species of Psilocybe and Stropharia. Psilocybin is a congener of 5-hydroxytryptamine, with striking central nervous system effects, and is readily hydrolyzed to 4-hydroxybufotenine; used as a hallucinogenic agent (and by Mexican aborigines to induce trances). Synonym: indocybin. (05 Mar 2000) |
