| sialic acids | A group of naturally occurring n-and o-acyl derivatives of the deoxyamino sugar neuraminic acid. They are ubiquitously distributed in many tissues. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| naphthaleneacetic acids | Naphthalene derivatives containing the -ch2cco2h radical at the 1-position, the 2-position, or both. Compounds are used as plant growth regulators to delay sprouting, exert weed control, thin fruit, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stearic acids | A group of compounds that are derivatives of octadecanoic acid which is one of the most abundant fatty acids found in animal lipids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nicotinic acids | 2-, 3-, or 4-pyridinecarboxylic acids. Pyridine derivatives substituted with a carboxy group at the 2-, 3-, or 4-position. The 3-carboxy derivative (niacin) is active as a vitamin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| succinic acids | A class of dicarboxylic acids with the general structure of butanedioic acid (succinic acid). They are used in perfumery and as a chemical intermediate in medicine. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sugar acids | Acids, such as gluconic, glycuronic, and saccharic acid, produced by the oxidation of glucose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulfanilic acids | Aminobenzenesulfonic acids. Organic acids that are used in the manufacture of dyes and organic chemicals and as reagents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfenic acids | Oxy acids of sulfur with the general formula rsoh, where r is an alkyl or aryl group such as ch3. They are often encountered as esters and halides. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfinic acids | Any of the monobasic inorganic or organic acids of sulfur with the general formula rso(oh). (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfonic acids | Inorganic or organic oxy acids of sulfur which contain the rso2(oh) radical. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfur acids | Inorganic or organic acids that contain sulfur as an integral part of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfuric acids | Inorganic and organic derivatives of sulfuric acid (h2so4). The salts and esters of sulfuric acid are known as sulfates and sulfuric acid esters respectively. (12 Dec 1998) |
| decanoic acids | 10-carbon saturated monocarboxylic acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| docosahexaenoic acids | C22-unsaturated fatty acids found predominantly in fish oils. (12 Dec 1998) |
| imino acids | Compounds with molecules containing both an acid group (usually the carboxyl, -COOH) and an imino group (==NH); e.g., proline, hydroxyproline. (05 Mar 2000) |
