| mannitol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Chemical name: D-Mannitol:NAD+ 2-oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.67 (12 Dec 1998) |
| mannitol hexanitrate | An explosive compound formed by the nitration of mannitol; when diluted with carbohydrate substances (one part of mannitol hexanitrate to nine or more parts of carbohydrate) it is not explosive, and is used as a vasodilator and hypotensive agent; it is slower in action than nitroglycerin. Synonym: nitromannitol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mannitol - mannose 1-oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Isolated from celeriae root tips; catalyses the nad-dependent oxidation of mannitol to mannose not to fructose; strongly inhibited by NADH and sensitive to alterations of nad-NADH ratio. Do not confuse with mannitol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.67) which is a 2-oxidoreductase which converts mannitol to fructose Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: mannitol 1-dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| mannitol phosphates | Phosphoric acid esters of mannitol. (12 Dec 1998) |
