|---|---|
| 2-methylacetoacetyl-CoA reductase | <enzyme> From ascaris lumbricoides muscle; acts on 2-methylacetoacetyl-CoA, 3-keto-2-methyl pentanoyl-CoA and on their ethyl esters in place of CoA Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: 2-methylacetoacetyl-coenzyme a reductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 2-methyl branched-chain enoyl-CoA reductase | <enzyme> Important in the reversal of beta-oxidation under anaerobic conditions in ascaris suum Registry number: EC 1.3.1.52 Synonym: 2-methyl bce-CoA reductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 3-oxobutyryl-CoA reductase | <enzyme> Nadh-dependent, (s)-specific enzyme from clostridium tyrobutyricum; n-terminal amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| a1-trypsin inhibitor | A glycoprotein that is the major protease inhibitor of human serum, is synthesised in the liver, and is genetically polymorphic due to the presence of over 20 alleles; individuals appropriately homozygous are deficient in a1-trypsin and are predisposed to pulmonary emphysema and juvenile hepatic cirrhosis because of alterations in the amino acid and sialic acid components of the glycoprotein. A1-Antitrypsin also inhibits thrombin. Synonym: a1-trypsin inhibitor, human a1-proteinase inhibitor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ACE inhibitor | <pharmacology> A group of antihypertensive medications that work by inhibiting an enzyme (angiotensin-converting enzyme) that is important in the regulation of blood pressure. Studies have also indicated that it may help prevent or slow the progression of kidney disease in patients with diabetes. Examples include: captopril, ramipril, enalapril, losartan potassium, bepridil and lisinopril. (12 Mar 1998) |
| angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor | <pharmacology> A class of drugs used in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. They exert their haemodynamic effect mainly by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system and produce a reduction of peripheral arterial resistance. They also modulate sympathetic nervous system activity and increase prostaglandin synthesis. They cause mainly vasodilation and mild natriuresis without affecting heart rate and contractility. (14 Aug 2000) |
| aromatase inhibitor | Drugs, such as aminoglutethimide, that inhibit aromatase, an enzyme used in the synthesis of oestrogens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beta-lactamase inhibitor | <pharmacology> Drugs such as clavulanic acid, which are used to inhibit bacterial beta-lactamases; often used with a penicillin or cephalosporin to overcome drug resistance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bowman-Birk inhibitor | A polypeptide that will inhibit both trypsin and chymotrypsin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| C1 esterase inhibitor | An a2-neuraminoglycoprotein that inhibits the enzymatic activity of C1 esterase, the activated first component of complement. A deficiency of this inhibitor results in a lack of inhibition of C1r and C1s leading to uncontrolled activation of the complement cascade and oedema. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbonate dehydratase inhibitor | An agent, usually chemically related to the sulfonamides, that inhibits the activity of carbonate dehydratase, producing a general decrease in the formation of H2CO3 in the tissues. See: acetazolamide, dichlorphenamide. Synonym: carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbonic acid inhibitor | <pharmacology> A group of diuretic medications which act to inhibit the enzyme carbonic anhydrase to create a metabolic acidosis. Many of these medications are used in the treatment of glaucoma. (27 Sep 1997) |
| carbonic anhydrase inhibitor | <pharmacology> A group of medications (sulphonamide drugs) which inhibit the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. These medications are used in the treatment of glaucoma. Examples include acetazolamide, dichlorphenamide and methazolamide. (27 Sep 1997) |
| mammary derived growth inhibitor | Fatty acid binding protein that inhibits proliferation of mammary carcinoma cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
