| lithium carbonate | This compound is used to treat manic depression. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| effervescent lithium citrate | A preparation containing lithium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, tartaric acid, and citric acid; same use as potassium or sodium citrate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lithium | The lightest alkali metal, although it has the largest hydrated cation. Important as an antidepressant and is thought to act by inhibiting the regeneration of inositol from IP3 and thus reducing the efficiency of the phosphatidyl inositol signalling pathways. (18 Nov 1997) |
| lithium bromide | LiBr;a white deliquescent powder, used as a sedative and hypnotic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lithium chloride | <chemical> A salt of lithium that has been used experimentally as an immunomodulator. Pharmacological action: adjuvants, immunologic, antimanic agents. Chemical name: Lithium chloride (LiCl) (12 Dec 1998) |
| lithium citrate | Li3C6H5O7-4H2O;a diuretic and antirheumatic, also used in the treatment of manic psychosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lithium compounds | Inorganic compounds that contain lithium as an integral part of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lithium tungstate | Used in electron microscopy as a negative stain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aluminum carbonate | Basic, Al2O3CO2;an aluminum hydroxide-carbonate complex consisting of white lumps, insoluble in water; aqueous suspensions bind phosphorus in the intestine and lower serum inorganic phosphorus resulting in an increase in reabsorption of phosphorus by renal tubules and reduction of urinary excretion of phosphorus; it reduces formation of phosphatic urinary calculi and gastric acidity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ammonium carbonate | A cardiac and respiratory stimulant and carminative expectorant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bismuth carbonate | (BiO)2CO3;used for the same purposes as bismuth subnitrate, but has lower toxicity. Synonym: bismuth carbonate, bismuth oxycarbonate, bismuthyl carbonate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bismuthyl carbonate | (BiO)2CO3;used for the same purposes as bismuth subnitrate, but has lower toxicity. Synonym: bismuth carbonate, bismuth oxycarbonate, bismuthyl carbonate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium carbonate | An astringent, an antacid (27 Sep 1997) |
| carbonate | 1. A salt of carbonic acid. 2. The ion CO3=. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbonate dehydratase | <enzyme> A zinc-containing enzyme of erythrocytes with molecular weight of 30 kD. It is among the most active of known enzymes and catalyses the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide, which is significant in the transport of co2 from the tissues to the lungs. The enzyme is inhibited by acetazolamide. Chemical name: Carbonate hydro-lyase Registry number: EC 4.2.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
