| ammonium chloride | <chemical> Ammonium chloride, (nh4)cl. A systemic acidifying agent that has been used as a diuretic and an expectorant. Chemical name: Ammonium chloride ((NH4)Cl) (12 Dec 1998) |
| antimony chloride | SbCl3;combines with vitamin A to form a blue compound and with beta-carotene to form a green one, as a method for assay of these substances; also used externally as a caustic. Synonym: antimony chloride. (05 Mar 2000) |
| barium chloride | Formerly used as a heart tonic and for varicose veins; extremely toxic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
