| 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) |
| guanochlor sulfate | [2-(2,6-Dichlorophenoxy)ethyl]aminoguanidine sulfate;used as an alpha-adrenergic blocking agent for the treatment of essential hypertension |
| guanoxan sulfate | (1,4-Benzodioxan-2-ylmethyl)guanidine sulfate;an antihypertensive agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chondroitin sulfate B | <chemical> Dermatan, 4-(hydrogen sulfate). A glycosaminoglycan found mostly in the skin but also in blood vessels, tendons, heart valves, and pulmonary connective tissue. Chemical name: Dermatan, 4-(hydrogen sulfate) (12 Dec 1998) |
| chondroitin sulfate C | Chondroitin with sulfuric residues esterifying the 6-hydroxyl groups of the galactosamine residues. (05 Mar 2000) |
