| benzalkonium chloride | A mixture of alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chlorides in which the alkyls are long-chain compounds (C8 to C18); a surface-active germicide for many pathogenic nonsporulating bacteria and fungi. Aqueous solutions of this agent have a low surface tension, and possess detergent, keratolytic, and emulsifying properties that aid the penetration and wetting of tissue surfaces. (05 Mar 2000) |

| benzethonium chloride | A synthetic quaternary ammonium compound, one of the cationic class of detergents; germicidal and bacteriostatic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benzoquinonium chloride | A skeletal muscle relaxant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bethanechol chloride | Carbamoylmethylcholine chloride; (2-hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium chloride carbamate;a parasympathomimetic agent, used to relieve constipation, paralytic ileus, and urinary retention. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bisdequalinium chloride | 1,1'-Decamethylene-4,4'-(1,10-decamethylenediimino)bis[quinaldinium chloride];an antiseptic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bismuth chloride oxide | BiOCl;basic bismuth chloride, used for the same purposes as the subnitrate. Synonym: bismuth chloride oxide, bismuthyl chloride. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bismuthyl chloride | BiOCl;basic bismuth chloride, used for the same purposes as the subnitrate. Synonym: bismuth chloride oxide, bismuthyl chloride. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cadmium chloride | <chemical> A cadmium halide in the form of colourless crystals, soluble in water, methanol, and ethanol. It is used in photography, in dyeing, and calico printing, and as a solution to precipitate sulfides. Pharmacological action: carcinogens, mutagens, teratogens. Chemical name: Cadmium chloride (CdCl2) (12 Dec 1998) |
| caesium chloride | <chemical> Salt that yields aqueous solutions of high density. When equilibrium has been established between sedimentation and diffusion during ultracentrifugation, a linear density gradient is established in which macromolecules such as DNA band at a position corresponding to their own buoyant density. (18 Nov 1997) |
| calcium chloride | <chemical> Calcium chloride (cacl2). A salt that occurs as white, hard fragments or granules. It is used as a calcium replenisher, administered intravenously, has been used as an acid-producing diuretic and urinary acidifier and to control bleeding in such conditions as purpura, intestinal bleeding, and small multiple haemorrhages. It is also a specific antidote for magnesium poisoning, administered intravenously. Chemical name: Calcium chloride (CaCl2) (12 Dec 1998) |
| carbamylcholine chloride | A cholinomimetic drug which reacts with and activates both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. It is slowly hydrolyzed and thus its effects far outlast those of acetylcholine. Used medically to stimulate smooth muscle, as in paralytic ileus following surgery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| magnesium chloride | <chemical> Magnesium chloride. An inorganic compound consisting of one magnesium and two chloride ions. The compound is used in medicine as a source of magnesium ions, which are essential for many cellular activities. It has also been used as a cathartic and in alloys. Chemical name: Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) (12 Dec 1998) |
| vinyl chloride | <chemical> A gas that has been used as an aerosol propellant and is the starting material for polyvinyl resins. Toxicity studies have shown various adverse effects, particularly the occurrence of liver neoplasms. Pharmacological action: carcinogens. Chemical name: Ethene, chloro- (12 Dec 1998) |
| cesium chloride | <chemical> Salt that yields aqueous solutions of high density. When equilibrium has been established between sedimentation and diffusion during ultracentrifugation, a linear density gradient is established in which macromolecules such as DNA band at a position corresponding to their own buoyant density. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cesium chloride gradient centrifugation | A type of density gradient centrifugation, a lab technique used to separate or purify nucleic acids. It involves putting cesium chloride and the nucleic acids into a centrifuge to be spun for hours or days. The cesium chloride forms a density gradient (highly dense at the bottom, thinnest at the top), and the different nucleic acids separate along the gradient according to their buoyancies in different densities.
