| hindlimb suspension | Technique for limiting use, activity, or movement by immobilizing or restraining animal by suspending from hindlimbs or tails. This immobilization is used to simulate some effects of reduced gravity and study weightlessness physiology. (12 Dec 1998) |

| suspension | 1. A condition of temporary cessation, as of animation, of pain or of any vital process. 2. <pharmacology> A preparation of a finely divided drug intended to be incorporated (suspended) in some suitable liquid vehicle before it is used or already incorporated in such a vehicle. Origin: L. Suspensio (18 Nov 1997) |
| suspension colloid | A colloidal solution in which the disperse particles are solid and lyophobe or hydrophobe, and are therefore sharply demarcated from the fluid in which they are suspended. Synonym: hydrophobic colloid, lyophobic colloid, suspension colloid. Origin: suspension + G. Eidos, resemblance (05 Mar 2000) |
| suspension stability | A very slow sedimentation rate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| insulin zinc suspension | A sterile buffered suspension with zinc chloride, containing 40 or 80 units per ml; the solid phase of the suspension consists of a mixture of 7 parts of crystalline insulin and 3 parts of amorphous insulin. Synonym: lente insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extended insulin zinc suspension | A long-acting insulin suspension, obtained from beef, with an approximate time of onset of 7 hours and a duration of action of 36 hours. Synonym: crystalline insulin zinc suspension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aluminum penicillin | The trivalent aluminum salt of an antibiotic substance or substances produced by the growth of the molds Penicillium notatum or P. Chrysogenum; used for oral or sublingual administration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benzyl penicillin | <chemical> (2s-(2 alpha,5 alpha,6 beta))-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-((phenylacetyl)amino)-4-thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid. A penicillin derivative commonly used in the form of its sodium or potassium salts in the treatment of a variety of infections. It is effective against most gram-positive bacteria and against gram-negative cocci. It has also been used as an experimental convulsant because of its actions on gaba mediated synaptic transmission. Pharmacological action: convulsants, gaba modulators, penicillins. Chemical name: 4-Thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-((phenylacetyl)amino)- (2S-(2alpha,5alpha,6beta))- (12 Dec 1998) |
| buffered crystalline penicillin G | Crystalline potassium penicillin G or crystalline sodium penicillin G buffered with not less than 4% and not more than 5% of sodium citrate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| penicillin | <drug> Probably the best known of the antibiotics, derived from the mould Penicillium notatum. It blocks the cross linking reaction in peptidoglycan synthesis and therefore destroys the bacterial cell wall making the bacterium very susceptible to damage. (18 Nov 1997) |
| penicillin amidase | <enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing the hydrolysis of penicillin to penicin and a carboxylic acid anion. Chemical name: Penicillin amidohydrolase Registry number: EC 3.5.1.11 (12 Dec 1998) |
| penicillin B | A penicillin preparation that is stable in gastric acid and is rapidly but only partially absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Synonym: alpha-phenoxyethylpenicillin potassium, penicillin B. (05 Mar 2000) |
| penicillin G | <chemical> (2s-(2 alpha,5 alpha,6 beta))-3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-((phenylacetyl)amino)-4-thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid. A penicillin derivative commonly used in the form of its sodium or potassium salts in the treatment of a variety of infections. It is effective against most gram-positive bacteria and against gram-negative cocci. It has also been used as an experimental convulsant because of its actions on gaba mediated synaptic transmission. Pharmacological action: convulsants, gaba modulators, penicillins. Chemical name: 4-Thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-((phenylacetyl)amino)- (2S-(2alpha,5alpha,6beta))- (12 Dec 1998) |
| penicillin G benzathine | <chemical> Semisynthetic antibiotic that is a relatively insoluble preparation that may remain in the body for 1 to 2 weeks, and prepared by combining the sodium salt of penicillin G with n,n'-dibenzylethylenediamine. Pharmacological action: penicillins. Chemical name: 4-Thia-1-azabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-2-carboxylic acid, 3,3-dimethyl-7-oxo-6-((phenylacetyl)amino)- (2S-(2alpha,5alpha,6beta))-, compd. With N,N'-bis(phenylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine (2:1) (12 Dec 1998) |
| penicillin G hydrabamine | A dipenicillin compound, a mixture of penicillin G salts consisting chiefly of the salt of the diacidic base N,N '-bis-(dehydroabietyl) ethylenediamine. (05 Mar 2000) |
