| indophenol | <chemistry> Any one of a series of artificial blue dyestuffs, resembling indigo in appearance, and obtained by the action of phenol on certain nitrogenous derivatives of quinone. Simple indophenol proper has not yet been isolated. Origin: Indigo + phenol. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| indophenol method | A method of determining quantitatively the amount of vitamin C in plant and animal tissue based on the rapid reduction of a standardised indophenol solution to a colourless compound by vitamin C in acid solution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| indophenol oxidase | <enzyme> Also oxidises tetrazolium salts in the presence of phenazine methosulfate; this is not EC 1.9.3.1 Registry number: EC 1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| indophenolase | <enzyme> An enzyme complex of the inner mitochondrial membrane that catalyses the reaction between ferrocytochrome c and oxygen to yield ferricytochrome c and water. It is associated with the pumping of protons and the resultant phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. The reaction is the terminal event in the electron transport scheme by which oxygen is used for fuel combustion. It is a part of Complex IV of the respiratory chain. A deficiency of one or more of the polypeptides of this complex results in neuronal loss in brain leading to psychomotor retardation and neurodegenerative disease. Synonym: cytochrome aa3, indophenol oxidase, indophenolase. Chemical name: Ferricytochrome-c:oxygen oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.9.3.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| indoprofen | <chemical> A drug that has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Following reports of adverse reactions including reports of carcinogenicity in animal studies it was withdrawn from the market worldwide. Pharmacological action: carcinogens, cyclooxygenase inhibitors. Chemical name: Benzeneacetic acid, 4-(1,3-dihydro-1-oxo-2H-isoindol-2-yl)-alpha-methyl- (12 Dec 1998) |
| indoramin | <chemical> N-[1-(2-indol-3-ylethyl)-4-piperidyl]benzamide. A hypotensive agent with some anti-arrhythmic effects. It has been used to treat essential hypertension. Pharmacological action: adrenergic alpha-antagonists, antihypertensive agents. Chemical name: Benzamide, N-(1-(2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl)-4-piperidinyl)- (12 Dec 1998) |
