| DHEAS | Di-Hydro-Epi-Androsterone Sulfate |
| DS | 1) Dead Space 2) Dehydroisoandrosterone Sulfate |
| bile acid 3alpha-sulfate sulfohydrolase | <enzyme> Used for determination of serum 3alpha-sulfated bile acids; converts 3alpha-sulfated bile acids into 3beta-hydroxy bile acids Registry number: EC 3.1.6.- Synonym: 3alpha-sulfated bile acid sulfohydrolase, ba-3s sulfohydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |

| bleomycin sulfate | An antineoplastic antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces verticillus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| butacaine sulfate | 3-(Dibutylamino)-1-propanol p-aminobenzoate sulfate;a local anaesthetic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| butirosin sulfate | <chemical> A water-soluble aminoglycosidic antibiotic complex isolated from fermentation filtrates of bacillus circulans. Two components (a and b) have been separated from the complex. Both are active against many gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria. Pharmacological action: antibiotics, aminoglycoside. (12 Dec 1998) |
| calcium sulfate | <chemical> It exists in an anhydrous form and in various states of hydration: the hemihydrate is plaster of paris, the dihydrate is gypsum. It is used in building materials, as a desiccant, in dentistry as an impression material, cast, or die, and in medicine for immobilizing casts and as a tablet excipient. Pharmacological action: dental materials, excipient. Chemical name: Sulfuric acid, calcium salt (1:1) (12 Dec 1998) |
| capreomycin sulfate | <chemical> Cyclic peptide antibiotic similar to viomycin. It is produced by streptomyces capreolus. Pharmacological action: antibiotics, antitubercular, antibiotics, peptide. (12 Dec 1998) |
| galactocerebroside sulfate sulfatidase | <enzyme> Catabolises galactocerebroside sulfatide at a neutral but not at an acidic pH; has no requirement for ATP or magnesium; mw 66-72 kD Registry number: EC 3.1.6.- Synonym: neutral sulfatidase, n-sulfatidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| magnesium sulfate | <chemical> Sulfuric acid magnesium salt (1:1). A small colourless crystal used as an anticonvulsant, a cathartic, and an electrolyte replenisher in the treatment of preeclampsia and eclampsia. It causes direct inhibition of action potential in the myometrial muscle cells. Excitation and contraction are uncoupled, which decreases the frequency and force of contractions. Pharmacological action: anticonvulsants, cathartic, tocolytic agents. Chemical name: Sulfuric acid magnesium salt (1:1) (12 Dec 1998) |
| paromomycin sulfate | A broad spectrum antibiotic produced by Streptomyces rimosus forma paromomycinus; used in the treatment of bacterial enteritis and amoebiasis, and for preoperative suppression of intestinal bacteria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vinblastine sulfate | A dimeric alkaloid obtained from Vinca rosea. It arrests mitosis in metaphase (although vincristine is more active in this respect) and exhibits greater antimetabolic activity than does vincristine; used in the treatment of Hodgkin's disease, choriocarcinoma, acute and chronic leukaemias, and other neoplastic diseases; blocks microtubule assembly. Synonym: vincaleucoblastine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vincristine sulfate | A dimeric alkaloid obtained from Vinca rosea; its antineoplastic activity is similar to that of vinblastine, but no cross-resistance develops between these two agents, and it is more useful than vinblastine in lymphocytic lymphosarcoma and acute leukaemia. Synonym: leurocristine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metaproterenol sulfate | 3,5-Dihydroxy-alpha-[(isopropylamino)methyl]benzyl alcohol sulfate;a sympathomimetic bronchodilator used for the treatment of bronchial asthma and in chronic obstructive lung disease. It has relatively greater effect on b2-adrenergic receptors than b1, conferring some selectivity in relaxing bronchiolar smooth muscle as compared with cardiac stimulation. Synonym: orciprenaline sulfate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| guanacline sulfate | Cyclazenin sulfate; [2-(3,6-Dihydro-4-methyl-1(2H)-pyridinyl)ethyl]guanidine sulfate dihydrate;an antihypertensive. (05 Mar 2000) |
| guanadrel sulfate | (1,4-Dioxaspiro[4,5]dec-2-ylmethyl)guanidine sulfate;an antihypertensive drug similar in action to guanethidine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| guanethidine sulfate | [2-(Octahydro-1-azocinyl)ethyl]guanidine sulfate;a potent antihypertensive agent. It appears to interfere with the release of the chemical mediator (norepinephrine) at the sympathetic neuroeffector junction; it does not produce ganglionic or parasympathetic blockade with recommended doses. In ophthalmology, it is used topically for the treatment of glaucoma and to counteract eyelid retraction in Graves' disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
