| aminohippuric acids | A group of glycine amides of aminobenzoic acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| aminoisobutyric acids | A group of compounds that are derivatives of the amino acid 2-amino-2-methylpropanoic acid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aminosalicylic acids | Amino-2-hydroxybenzoic acids. A group of hydroxybenzoic acids that include substitution by amino groups at the 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-position. The 4-amino derivative, p-aminosalicylic acid, is an antitubercular agent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anthranilic acids | Benzoic acids which are substituted with an amino group in the c-2 position. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arylsulfonic acids | Organic sulfonic acid derivatives which contain an aromatic hydrocarbon radical. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bile acids | Steroid acids found in bile; e.g., taurocholic and glycocholic acid's, used when biliary secretion is inadequate and for biliary colic. Their physiological roles include fat emulsification. Their synthesis is reduced in disorders of the peroxisomes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bile acids and salts | <chemical> Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones. Pharmacological action: cholagogues and choleretics, gastrointestinal agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| boric acids | Inorganic and organic derivatives of boric acid either b(oh)3 or, preferably h3bo3. (12 Dec 1998) |
| borinic acids | Inorganic or organic compounds that contain the general structure r2b(oh). (12 Dec 1998) |
| boronic acids | Inorganic or organic compounds that contain the basic structure rb(oh)2. (12 Dec 1998) |
| butyric acids | 4-carbon saturated monocarboxylic acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| caffeic acids | 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acids. A class of phenolic acids related to chlorogenic acid,p-coumaric acid, vanillic acid, etc., which are found in plant tissues. It is involved in plant growth regulation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carboxylic acids | Organic acids containing the carboxy (-cooh) group, including amino acids and fatty acids. Carboxylic acid is used both as a class name and a suffix. (12 Dec 1998) |
| palmitic acids | A group of 16-carbon fatty acids that contain no double bonds. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mandelic acids | <chemical> Analogs or derivatives of mandelic acid (alpha-hydroxybenzeneacetic acid). Pharmacological action: anti-infective agents, urinary. (12 Dec 1998) |
