| sulfate | A salt or ester of sulfuric acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sulfate adenylyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the activation of sulfate ions by ATP to form adenosine-5'-phosphosulfate and pyrophosphate. This reaction constitutes the first enzymatic step in sulfate utilization following the uptake of sulfate. Chemical name: ATP:sulfate adenylyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.7.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfate permease | <chemical> From aspergillus nidulans; it actively transports sulfate, chromate and selenate ions Chemical name: permease, sulfate (26 Jun 1999) |
| sulfate respiration | The process of respiration used by some anaerobic organisms, in which sulfate rather than molecular oxygen is used to oxidise organic molecules to obtain energy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulfate water | A water holding in solution appreciable quantities of the sulfates of calcium, magnesium, or sodium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| d-amphetamine sulfate | (+)-alpha-methylphenethylamine sulfate;similar in action to racaemic amphetamine sulfate, but is more stimulating to the central nervous system; sympathomimetic and appetite depressant. Synonym: d-amphetamine sulfate, dexamphetamine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| debrisoquine sulfate | 3-4-Dihydro-2(1H)-isoquinolinecarboxamidine sulfate;an antihypertensive agent resembling guanethidine; used in drug metabolism studies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate | A precursor of androgens and oestrogen and the most abundant steroid in the circulation. (j gerontol 1993;48(5):b196-200) (12 Dec 1998) |
| dermatan sulfate | <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) |
| dextran sulfate | <chemical> Long-chain polymer of glucose containing 17-20% sulfur. It has been used as an anticoagulant and also has been shown to inhibit the binding of HIV-1 to CD4+ T-lymphocytes. It is commonly used as both an experimental and clinical laboratory reagent and has been investigated for use as an antiviral agent, in the treatment of hypolipidemia, and for the prevention of free radical damage, among other applications. Pharmacological action: anticoagulant, antiviral agents, indicators and reagents, plasma substitutes. Chemical name: Dextran, hydrogen sulfate (12 Dec 1998) |
| dextroamphetamine sulfate | (+)-alpha-methylphenethylamine sulfate;similar in action to racaemic amphetamine sulfate, but is more stimulating to the central nervous system; sympathomimetic and appetite depressant. Synonym: d-amphetamine sulfate, dexamphetamine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dibutoline sulfate | Dibutyl urethane of dimethylethyl-beta-hydroxyethylammonium sulfate;an anticholinergic agent used as a mydriatic, a cycloplegic, and a gastrointestinal antispasmodic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dihydrostreptomycin sulfate | <chemical> A semi-synthetic aminoglycoside antibiotic that is used in the treatment of tuberculosis. Pharmacological action: antibiotics, aminoglycoside, antibiotics, antitubercular. Chemical name: D-Streptamine, O-2-deoxy-2-(methylamino)-alpha-L-glucopyranosyl-(1-2)-O-5-deoxy- 3-C-(hydroxymethyl)-alpha-L-lyxofuranosyl-(1-4)-N,N'-bis(aminoiminomethyl)-, sulfate (2:3) (salt) (12 Dec 1998) |
| dimethyl sulfate | An industrial chemical (sulfuric acid dimethyl ester (CH3)2SO4), used in synthesis as an alkylating agent; it causes nystagmus, convulsions, and death from pulmonary complications. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dodecyl sulfate | See: sodium dodecyl sulfate. (05 Mar 2000) |
