| 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) |
| phenelzine sulfate | (2-Phenethyl) hydrazine sulfate;a monoamine oxidase inhibitor used as an antidepressant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| codeine sulfate | A water-soluble salt of codeine, often used in solid pharmaceutical dosage forms. Also used in cough preparations, where the drug suppresses the cough reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| piperazine estrone sulfate | A purified preparation of natural estrone sulfate; the piperazine acts as a buffer to increase the stability of estrone sulfate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| morphine sulfate | Morphine used for formulation of tablets as well as solutions for parenteral, epidural, or intrathecal injection to relieve pain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polymyxin B sulfate | An antibacterial effective in tularaemia, brucellosis, Pseudomonas infections, and urinary tract infections, but used systemically only for severe infections not responsive to less toxic agents; it is also used locally. Polymyxin B is a mixture of polymyxin B1 and polymyxin B2. (05 Mar 2000) |
