| spiro compounds | A group of compounds consisting in part of two rings sharing one carbon atom in common. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| nitrogen compounds | Inorganic compounds that contain nitrogen as an integral part of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nitrogen mustard compounds | <chemical> A group of alkylating agents derived from mustard gas, with the sulfur replaced by nitrogen. They were formerly used as toxicants and vesicants, but now function as antineoplastic agent. These compounds are also powerful mutagens, teratogens, immunosuppressants, and carcinogens. Pharmacological action: antineoplastic agent, alkylating, carcinogens, mutagens, teratogens. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfhydryl compounds | Compounds containing the -sh radical. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfonium compounds | Sulfur compounds in which the sulfur atom is attached to three organic radicals and an electronegative element or radical. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfonylurea compounds | <chemical> Pharmacological action: hypoglycaemic agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfur compounds | Inorganic or organic compounds that contain sulfur as an integral part of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dansyl compounds | <chemical> Compounds that contain a 1-dimethylaminonaphthalene-5-sulfonyl group. Pharmacological action: indicators and reagents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| decamethonium compounds | Compounds that contain the decamethylenebis(trimethyl)ammonium radical. These compounds frequently act as neuromuscular depolarising agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| inorganic compounds | Those compounds lacking carbon but including carbonates and cyanides. Compounds not having the organised anatomical structure of animal or vegetable life. (05 Dec 1998) |
| iodine compounds | Inorganic compounds that contain iodine as an integral part of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
