| 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) |
| hydrogen bromide | HBr;a colourless gas that has a very irritating odour and fumes in moist air; in aqueous solution, it is hydrobromic acid. Hydrogen chloride, HCl;a very soluble gas which, in solution, forms hydrochloric acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sodium bromide | NaBr;a hypnotic and sedative; used in epilepsy and other functional disorders of the nervous system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| decamethonium bromide | Decamethylene-1,10-bis-trimethylammonium dibromide;a synthetic nondepolarising neuromuscular blocking agent used to produce muscular relaxation during general anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| demecarium bromide | A potent cholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of glaucoma and accommodative esotropia; it is stable in aqueous solution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| domiphen bromide | Dodecyldimethyl(2-phenoxyethyl)ammonium bromide;an antiseptic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oxyphenonium bromide | Diethyl(2-hydroxyethyl)methylammonium bromide alpha-phenyl-alpha-cyclohexylglycolate;a quaternary ammonium compound with anticholinergic action. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thonzonium bromide | Hexadecyl[2-[(p-methoxybenzyl)-2-pyrimidinylamino]ethyl]dimethylammonium bromide;a surface-active agent used in ear drops and aerosols. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethidium bromide | <chemical, molecular biology> A dye that intercalates into DNA and to some extent RNA. Intercalation into linear DNA is easier than into circular DNA and the addition of ethidium bromide to DNA prior to ultracentrifugation on a caesium chloride gradient is much used to separate nuclear and mitochondrial or plasmid DNA for analytical purposes. Because less intercalates into the circular DNA, the density remains higher. (18 Nov 1997) |
| 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide | <chemical> 2-(bromomethyl)-5-nitrophenol. A chemical reagent that reacts with and modifies chemically the tryptophan portion of protein molecules. Used for 'active site' enzyme studies and other protein studies. Sometimes referred to as koshland's reagent. Pharmacological action: indicators and reagents. Chemical name: Phenol, 2-(bromomethyl)-4-nitro- (12 Dec 1998) |
