| 설명 | 심장의 수축력을 증감시키는 약물을 말한다. 기본적으로 심근수축력을 증강시켜 심장박출량을 증가시키는 약물이다. 강심배당체, 포스포디에스트라아제 억제제, 아드레날린 β수용체작용제, 혈관확장제 등이 있다. 대표적인 예로서는 디곡신(digoxine) 등의 디지탈리스(digitalis)가 있다. |

| 영문 | alkylating agent | 한글 | 알킬화약물 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 항암제의 일종. 이상적인 항암제는 정상적인 세포에는 해를 주지 않고 단지 암세포에만 치명적인 효과를 나타내야 한다. 이렇게 하려면 암세포만의 특이한 특성을 이해하고 그곳에만 작용하는 약물을 개발해야 한다. 현재 대부분의 항암제는 암세포가 정상 세포에 비하여 월등히 증식을 빨리한다는 특성을 이용하고 있다. 증식이 빠르다는 것은 다시 말하면 유전 정보를 가지고 있는 DNA의 복제가 빠르다는 것을 의미한다. 만약 DNA의 복제를 방해한다면 증식이 아주 빠른 암세포에게는 치명적이지만 영원히 증식을 하지 않는 DNA의 복제가 거의 필요없는)신경세포나 증식이 암세포에 비해서 아주 느린 정상세포에는 거의 영향을 주지 못한다. 하지만 신체에서도 증식이 암세포와 비슷한 수준으로 일어나는 정상적인 세포가 있는데 그것은 머리카락을 만드는 모낭세포와 소화관의 점막을 이루는 세포와 혈액의 세포를 만드는 골수 세포이다. 그러므로 항암제를 사용할 경우 암세포와 마찬가지로 이들 세포도 함께 치명적인 영향을 입을 것은 당연하다(그래서 항암제 치료시엔 머리가 빠지고 소화불량이 잘 온다). 알칼화약물의 경우에는 DNA와 직접 결합을 하여 DNA의 복제를 억제함으로써 항암제의 역할을 수행한다. |

| 영문 | anti-inflammatory agent | 한글 | 항염증제, 소염제, 염증약 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 국소에 작용하여 염증을 치료하고 방지하는 약. 염증을 가라앉히는 약을 말한다. 조직을 긴축-치밀하게 하여 장액과 점액의 분비를 줄이고, 표면에 있는 작은 혈관에 빈혈을 일으켜 충혈되는 것을 방지함으로써 염증적 병변을 제거하여 모든 증세를 없앤다. 대부분의 수렴제-완화제-진양제가 이에 속한다. 중요한 성분으로는 알루미늄-비스무트-아연-납화합물(병반-페르마톨-아연화-연당 등) 등이 있다. 작용에 따라 항염증진통제와 항염증효소제로 나뉜다. |

| volatile | 1. Passing through the air on wings, or by the buoyant force of the atmosphere; flying; having the power to fly. 2. Capable of wasting away, or of easily passing into the aeriform state; subject to evaporation. Substances which affect the smell with pungent or fragrant odors, as musk, hartshorn, and essential oils, are called volatile substances, because they waste away on exposure to the atmosphere. Alcohol and ether are called volatile liquids for a similar reason, and because they easily pass into the state of vapor on the application of heat. On the contrary, gold is a fixed substance, because it does not suffer waste, even when exposed to the heat of a furnace; and oils are called fixed when they do not evaporate on simple exposure to the atmosphere. 3. Light-hearted; easily affected by circumstances; airy; lively; hence, changeable; fickle; as, a volatile temper. "You are as giddy and volatile as ever." (Swift) Volatile alkali. <chemistry> See Essential oils, under Essential. Origin: F. Volatil, L. Volatilis, fr. Volare to fly, perhaps akin to velox swift, E. Velocity. Cf. Volley.

| volatile anaesthetic | A liquid anaesthetic that at room temperature volatilises to a vapor which when inhaled is capable of producing general anaesthesia. See: anaesthetic vapor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volatile fatty acid number | An index of the volatile acid content of a fat; the number of milliliters of 0.1 n KOH required to neutralise the soluble volatile fatty acids in 5 g of fat that has been saponified, acidified to liberate the fatty acids, and then steam-distilled. Synonym: volatile fatty acid number. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volatile mustard oil | CH2==CH-CH2-NCS; volatile mustard CH-allylisosulfocyanate; isothiocyanic allyl ester;obtained from Brassica nigra or produced synthetically; a vesicant, used in 10% solution in 50% alcohol as a counterirritant in neuralgia. Gives mustard its characteristics flavor and aroma. See: mustard oil. Synonym: volatile mustard oil. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volatile oil | A substance of oily consistency and feel, derived from a plant and containing the principles to which the odour and taste of the plant are due (essential oil); in contrast to a fatty oil, a volatile oil evaporates when exposed to the air and thus is capable of distillation; it may also be obtained by expression or extraction; many volatile oil's, identical to or closely resembling the natural oil's, can be made synthetically. Volatile oil's are used in medicine as stimulants, stomachics, correctives, carminatives, and for purposes of flavoring (e.g., peppermint oil). Synonym: ethereal oil. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volatile organic compounds | (VOC) Emissions of non-methane hydrocarbons, measured by standard DEQ methods. (05 Dec 1998) |
| sal volatile | A hydroalcoholic solution containing approximately 2% ammonia and 4% ammonium carbonate and the aromatics: lemon oil, lavender oil, and myristica oil. Used mainly by inhalation to produce reflex stimulation in persons who have fainted or are at risk of syncope. Synonym: sal volatile, smelling salts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oils, volatile | Oils which evaporate readily. The volatile oils occur in aromatic plants, to which they give odour and other characteristics. most volatile oils consist of a mixture of two or more terpenes or of a mixture of an eleopten (the more volatile constituent of a volatile oil) with a stearopten (the more solid constituent). The synonym essential oils refers to the essence of a plant, as its perfume or scent, and not to its indispensibility. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, volatile | Short-chain fatty acids of up to six carbon atoms in length. They are the major end products of microbial fermentation in the ruminant digestive tract and have also been implicated in the causation of neurological diseases in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adrenergic blocking agent | A compound that selectively blocks or inhibits responses to sympathetic adrenergic nerve activity (sympatholytic agent) and to epinephrine, norepinephrine, and other adrenergic amines (adrenolytic agent); two distinct classes exist, alpha-and beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenergic neuronal blocking agent | A drug that prevents the release of norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve terminals; it does not inhibit the responses of the adrenergic receptors to circulating epinephrine, norepinephrine, and other adrenergic amines. (05 Mar 2000) |
| agent | <pharmacology> Any power, principle or substance capable of producing an effect, whether physical, chemical or biological. Origin: L. Agens = acting (18 Nov 1997) |
| agent, antihypertensive | As the name suggests, a drug aimed at reducing high blood pressure (hypertension). (12 Dec 1998) |
| agent, anti-infective | Something capable of acting against infection, by inhibiting the spread of an infectious agent or by killing the infectious agent outright. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Agent Orange | An herbicide and defoliant, consisting of (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)acetic acid, (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid, and dioxin, that was widely used in the Vietnam War; it has been shown to possess residual post-exposure carcinogenic and teratogenic properties in humans.
