| cephalosporanic acids | <chemical> A family of organic compounds that are composed of a dihydrothiazine ring and a beta-lactam ring. Pharmacological action: cephalosporins. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glyconic acids | Monosaccharide derivatives in which the aldehyde group has been oxidised to a carboxyl group. They may form lactones (e.g., galactonic acid). Synonym: glyconic acids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| penillic acids | Acid degradation products of penicillins, produced by cleavage of the 1,7 bond, forming penicilloic acid, and formation of a bond between the exocyclic carbonyl carbon and N-1 with elimination of H2O from those two and the exocyclic NH. (05 Mar 2000) |
| choleic acids | Compounds of bile acids and sterols. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cholic acids | <chemical> The 3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholanic acid family of bile acids in man, usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. They act as detergents to solubilise fats for intestinal absorption, are reabsorbed by the small intestine, and are used as cholagogues and choleretics. Pharmacological action: cholagogues and choleretics, gastrointestinal agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chrysanthemum-carboxylic acids | Cyclopropane carboxylic acids substituted in one position by two methyl groups, the other by 2-methyl-1-propenyl (chrysanthemum monocarboxylic acid) or by 3-methoxy-2-methyl-3-oxo-1-propenyl (chrysanthemum dicarboxylic acid methyl ester); these acids, esterified with allethrolone or pyrethrolone, are the allethrins and pyrethrins, respectively. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phenylpyruvic acids | A group of compounds that are derivatives of phenylpyruvic acid which has the general formula c6h5ch2cocooh, and is a metabolite of phenylalanine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphatidic acids | Fatty acid derivatives of glycerophosphates. They are composed of glycerol bound in ester linkage with 1 mole of phosphoric acid at the terminal 3-hydroxyl group and with 2 moles of fatty acids at the other two hydroxyl groups. (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphinic acids | Hypophosphorous acids. Inorganic or organic derivatives of phosphinic acid, h2po(oh). They include phosphinates and phosphinic acid esters. (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphoamino acids | Amino acids that contain phosphorus as an integral part of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| phosphonic acids | Inorganic or organic derivatives of phosphonic acid with the general formula rop(oh)2. This includes phosphonates and phosphonic acid esters. The tautomeric form of this compound (p(oh)3) = phosphorous acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
