| 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) |
