| calcium carbonate | An astringent, an antacid (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| carbonate | 1. A salt of carbonic acid. 2. The ion CO3=. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbonate dehydratase | <enzyme> A zinc-containing enzyme of erythrocytes with molecular weight of 30 kD. It is among the most active of known enzymes and catalyses the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide, which is significant in the transport of co2 from the tissues to the lungs. The enzyme is inhibited by acetazolamide. Chemical name: Carbonate hydro-lyase Registry number: EC 4.2.1.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| carbonate hydro-lyase | carbonic anhydrase |
| precipitated calcium carbonate | CaCO3;used as an antacid in the management of peptic ulcers and other conditions of gastric hyperacidity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lead carbonate | A heavy white powder that is insoluble in water; occasionally, it is used to relieve irritation in dermatitis, but it is used largely in the manufacture of paint and in the arts and is thus productive of lead poisoning. Synonym: ceruse, white lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lithium carbonate | This compound is used to treat manic depression. (09 Oct 1997) |
| caffeine and sodium benzoate | A mixture of equal parts of sodium benzoate and caffeine, used to meet the indication of caffeine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caffeine and sodium salicylate | A mixture of sodium salicylate and caffeine used for the relief of headache and neuralgia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aluminum magnesium silicate | An antacid. Synonym: aluminum magnesium silicate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcium magnesium-atpase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of ATP and is activated by millimolar concentrations of either calcium or magnesium. Unlike calcium-transporting atpase it does not require the second divalent cation for its activity, and is not sensitive to orthovanadate. Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium magnesium dependent endodeoxyribonuclease | <enzyme> Similar in action but different from dnase i Registry number: EC 3.1.21.- Synonym: ca mg dnase, ca(2+)+mg(2+) dnase, calcium-magnesium endonuclease, ca-mg endonuclease (26 Jun 1999) |
| magnesium | <chemical, element> An essential divalent cation. The major role is as the chelated ion in ATP and presumably other triphosphonucleotides. The magnesium ATP complex is the sole biologically active form of ATP. The other essential role of magnesium is as the central ion of chlorophyll. Cellular concentration is less than 5mM. Serum concentration approximately 1mM. Pharmacologic action: Hypomagnesemia can cause refractory ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. Uses: known hypomagnesemic states - suspect hypomagnesmia in alcoholics, chronic disease states, or others with poor nutrition; treatment of choice for Torsade de Pointes. Dose: 1-2 grams IV push for cardiac arrest, over 1 to 2 minutes for Torsades, and over 5 to 60 minutes for acute myocardial infarction. Potential complications: Transient flushing and diaphoresis, sinus bradycardia, hypotension, hyporeflexia and paralysis with overdose. Abbreviation: Mg (15 Mar 2000) |
| magnesium aluminum silicate | An antacid. Synonym: aluminum magnesium silicate. (05 Mar 2000) |
