| perfluorooctyl bromide | A bromine-substituted fluorocarbon, prepared as a particulate emulsion, used as a CT, MR, and ultrasound contrast medium. Acronym: PFOB (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| mepenzolate bromide | N-Methyl-3-piperidyl benzilate methyl bromide;an anticholinergic drug. (05 Mar 2000) |
| methantheline bromide | C21H26BrNO3; beta-diethylaminoethyl-9-xanthenecarboxylate methobromide;an anticholinergic drug. (05 Mar 2000) |
| methscopolamine bromide | Epoxytropine tropate methylbromide;a parasympatholytic drug similar to atropine; the methyl nitrate has the same action and uses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| methylatropine bromide | A quaternary derivative of atropine that is less lipid soluble and hence produces fewer central nervous system actions; a cycloplegic. Synonym: atropine methylbromide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| methyl bromide | <chemical> A volatile, toxic, colourless gas or liquid that is frequently used as a fumigant, it is similar in structure to chloroform. It is known to be a powerful ozone-destroying chemical, but it is broken down by some bacteria, thereis much scientific debate on how much danger methyl bromide poses to the ozone layer. (09 Oct 1997) |
| clidinium bromide | 3-Hydroxy-1-methylquinuclidinium bromide benzilate;an anticholinergic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pipecuronium bromide | A neuromuscular blocking agent with nondepolarising properties, thus resembling d-tubocurarine but having a shorter duration of paralytic action. (05 Mar 2000) |
| potassium bromide | KBr;an obsolescent sedative and hypnotic (sodium bromide is usually preferred). (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyanogen bromide | <chemical> Agent that cleaves peptide bonds at methionine residues. The peptide fragments so generated can then, for example: be tested to locate particular activities. (18 Nov 1997) |
| propantheline bromide | Beta-Diisopropylmethylaminoethyl-9-xanthine carboxylate bromide;the isopropyl analogue of methantheline bromide; an anticholinergic agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hexafluorenium bromide | Hexamethylenebis[fluoren-9-yldimethylammonium bromide];a potentiator for succinylcholine in anaesthesiology by producing a mild nondepolarising neuromuscular blockade; also inhibits plasma cholinesterase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hexamethone bromide | Hexamethylenebis(trimethylammonium chloride);a ganglionic blocking agent used in the treatment of hypertension, usually in combination with other hypotensive drugs; also used as the bromide and the tartrate. Synonym: hexamethone bromide, vegalysen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| homidium bromide | A trypanocide used in veterinary medicine. Synonym: ethidium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyridostigmine bromide | <chemical> A cholinesterase inhibitor with a slightly longer duration of action than neostigmine. It is used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis and to reverse the actions of muscle relaxants. Pharmacological action: cholinesterase inhibitor, parasympathomimetic. Chemical name: Pyridinium, 3-(((dimethylamino)carbonyl)oxy)-1-methyl-, bromide (12 Dec 1998) |
