| polyethylene glycol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses the first step in polyethylene glycol metabolism in bacteria Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| polyethylene glycol-glutaminase-asparaginase | <chemical> Covalent attachment of polyethylene glycol to nonessential amine groups of enzyme renders it nonimmunogenic for treatment of leukaemia (EC 3.5.1.-) Pharmacological action: immunosuppressive agent Chemical name: glutaminase-asparaginase Synonym: polyethyleneglycol-l-glutaminase-l-asparaginase, peg-l-glutaminase-l-asparaginase (26 Jun 1999) |
| polyethylene glycol-superoxide dismutase | <chemical> A free radical scavenger Pharmacological action: free radical scavengers Synonym: peg-sod (26 Jun 1999) |
| polyethylene glycol-uricase | <chemical> Uricase covalently attached to polyethylene glycol, modifying 71% of amino groups and retaining 11% of activity without eliciting antibody response in mice or man; used for lowering serum uric acid Synonym: peg-uricase, methoxypolyethylene glycol uricase (26 Jun 1999) |
| propylene glycol | <chemical> A clear, colourless, viscous liquid used as a humectant and solvent in pharmaceutical preparations. Derivative of propylene glycol (1,2-propanediol). They are used as humectants and solvents in pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmacological action: cryoprotective agents, solvents, vehicles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| diethylene glycol | An organic solvent chemically related to ethylene glycol. Upon metabolic conversion it becomes oxalic acid, which is toxic to the kidney. A sweet, viscous liquid that was used to make the infamous elixir of sulfanilamide that proved fatal to over 100 children in 1937, leading to the establishment of the FDA to monitor drug safety. (05 Mar 2000) |
| triethylene glycol | C6H14O4; 2,2'-Ethylenedioxybis(ethanol);used in the vapor state as an air-sterilizing agent; toxic to bacteria, fungi, and viruses in very low concentrations in air; variations in the humidity of the air limit the germicidal effectiveness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| L-glycol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses NADPH linked reversible reduction of uncharged vicinal dicarbonyls and alpha-hydroxycarbonyls to l-(+)-glycols Registry number: EC 1.1.1.185 Synonym: l-(+)-glycol-NADP oxidoreductase, alpha-dicarbonyl reductase, l-(+)-alpha-hydroxycarbonyl-NADP oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
