| tetraethylammonium chloride | (C2H5)4N+C l-;a quaternary ammonium compound that partially blocks transmission of impulses through parasympathetic and sympathetic ganglia; its clinical usefulness is limited; formerly used as an antihypertensive drug. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| edrophonium chloride | Dimethylethyl (3-hydroxyphenyl)ammonium chloride;a competitive antagonist of skeletal muscle relaxants (curare derivatives and gallamine triethiodide) and an anticholinesterase, used as an antidote for curariform drugs, as a diagnostic agent in myasthenia gravis, and in myasthenic crisis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tolonium chloride | <chemical> A phenothiazine that has been used as a haemostatic, a biological stain, and a dye for wool and silk. Tolonium chloride has also been used as a diagnostic aid for oral and gastric neoplasms and in the identification of the parathyroid gland in thyroid surgery. Pharmacological action: dyes, haemostatics, heparin antagonists. Chemical name: Phenothiazin-5-ium, 3-amino-7-(dimethylamino)-2-methyl-, chloride (12 Dec 1998) |
| triclobisonium chloride | Hexamethylenebis[dimethyl[1-methyl-3-(2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl)propyl]ammonium chloride];a bisquaternary ammonium compound used topically in the treatment of superficial infections of the skin and vagina; a cationic antiseptic effective against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms. It is inactivated by soap and pH changes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tricyclamol chloride | 1-(3-cyclohexyl-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropyl)-1-methylpyrrolidinium chloride;an anticholinergic drug used in the treatment of functional gastrointestinal spasm. Synonym: tricyclamol chloride. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tridihexethyl chloride | 3-Diethylamino-1-phenyl-1-cyclohexyl 1-propanol ethylchloride;an anticholinergic drug. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tubocurarine chloride | C38H44Cl2N2O6-5H 2O; d-Tubocurarine chloride;an alkaloid (obtained from the stems of Chondodendron, particularly C. Tomentosum) that blocks the action of acetylcholine at the myoneural junction by occupying the receptors competitively; also blocks ganglionic transmission and releases histamine; used to produce muscular relaxation during surgical operations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethyl chloride | <chemical> A gas that condenses under slight pressure. Because of its low boiling point ethyl chloride sprayed on skin produces an intense cold by evaporation. Cold blocks nerve conduction. Ethyl chloride has been used in surgery but is primarily used to relieve local pain in sports medicine. Pharmacological action: anaesthetics, local. Chemical name: Ethane, chloro- (12 Dec 1998) |
| ethylmercuric chloride | <chemical> A highly toxic compound used as a fungicide for treating seeds. Pharmacological action: fungicides, industrial. Chemical name: Mercury, chloroethyl- (12 Dec 1998) |
| undecoylium chloride | Acylcolaminoformylmethylpyridinium chloride;a topical antiseptic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| undecoylium chloride-iodine | A complex of iodine with undecoylium chloride; a cationic detergent used topically as a germicidal agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zinc chloride | ZnCl2;formerly used as a caustic for the removal of cutaneous cancers, nevi, etc., and in weak solution in the treatment of gonorrhoea and conjunctivitis. Synonym: butter of zinc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ferric chloride | An astringent and styptic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ferric chloride reaction of epinephrine | An intense emerald green colour in a neutral or slightly acid solution of epinephrine when ferric chloride is added to it; a reaction typical of catechols. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ferric chloride test | A qualitative test for the detection of phenylketonuria; the addition of ferric chloride to urine gives rise to a blue-green colour in the presence of phenylketonuria. (05 Mar 2000) |
