| tert-butyl alcohol | <chemical> Pharmacological action: carcinogens. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| tertiary alcohol | An alcohol characterised by the trivalent atom group (05 Mar 2000) |
| tertiary amyl alcohol | amylene hydrate |
| tertiary butyl alcohol | Trimethylcarbinol, 2-methyl-2-propanol, (CH3)3COH, a denaturant for ethanol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trichloroethyl alcohol | CCl3CH2OH; 2,2,2-Trichloroethanol;a hypnotic and sedative; as a metabolite of chloral hydrate, it contributes to the depressant activity of chloral hydrate. Synonym: trichloroethyl alcohol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trihydric alcohol | An alcohol containing three OH groups; e.g., glycerol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethyl alcohol | <chemical, drug> Grain alcohol, made from sugar, starch and other carbohydrates by fermentation, has sedative properties (27 Sep 1997) |
| UDPglucose-coniferyl-alcohol glucosyltransferase | <enzyme> Forms coniferin (coniferyl alcohol 7-o-beta-d-glucopyranoside) Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- Synonym: udpcagtransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| farnesene alcohol | <chemical> A colourless liquid extracted from oils of plants such as citronella, neroli, cyclamen, and tuberose. It is an intermediate step in the biological synthesis of cholesterol from mevalonic acid in verterbrates. It has a delicate odour and is used in perfumery. Chemical name: 2,6,10-Dodecatrien-1-ol, 3,7,11-trimethyl- (12 Dec 1998) |
| ketone alcohol | A compound containing a carbonyl or ketone group as well as a hydroxyl group; e.g., dihydroxyacetone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty alcohol | A long chain alcohol, analogous to the fatty acids, of which the fatty alcohol may be viewed as a reduction product; e.g., octadecanol from stearic acid. It is often found esterified in waxes. Synonym: wax alcohol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foetal alcohol effects | A softer diagnosis than foetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). The diagnosis of possible FAE is considered when: 1. The person has some signs of FAS; 2. The person does not meet all of the necessary criteria for FAS; and 3. There is a history of alcohol exposure before birth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| foetal alcohol syndrome | <syndrome> The most common cause of defective cerebral development in industrialised nations, affecting 1 in 700 live births in the United States. This clinical syndrome results from the direct toxic effects of alcohol on the developing foetus. Growth retardation, mental retardation, small brain and heart valve lesions are common. Infants can be identified by close set eyes, small head, small nasal bridge, reduction in the vermilion border of the upper lip, eye folds and small teeth. (27 Sep 1997) |
| 4-sulfobenzyl alcohol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of 4-sulfobenzaldehyde from 4-sulfobenzyl alcohol; amino acid sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- Synonym: p-sulfobenzyl alcohol dehydrogenase, tsac protein, tsac gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| long-chain-alcohol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses reversibly the oxidation of a long-chain alcohol in the presence of nad to a long-chain acid anion and NADH Registry number: EC 1.1.1.192 Synonym: fatty alcohol-nad+ oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
