| amyl nitrite | <chemical> A vasodilator that is administered by inhalation. It is also used recreationally due to its supposed ability to induce euphoria and act as an aphrodisiac. Pharmacological action: aphrodisiacs, vasodilator agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| sodium nitrite | <chemical> Nitrous acid sodium salt. Used in many industrial processes, in meat curing, colouring, and preserving, and as a reagent in analytical chemistry. It is used therapeutically as an antidote in cyanide poisoning. The compound is toxic and mutagenic and will react in vivo with secondary or tertiary amines thereby producing highly carcinogenic nitrosamines. Pharmacological action: antidotes, food preservatives, indicators and reagents, mutagens. Chemical name: Nitrous acid, sodium salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| nitrite | <chemistry> A salt of nitrous acid. Amyl nitrite, a yellow oily volatile liquid, used in medicine as a depressant and a vaso-dilator. Its inhalation produces an instantaneous flushing of the face. Origin: Cf. F. Nitrite. See Niter. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| nitrite dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Nitrobacter enzyme oxidises nitrite to nitrate with reduction of o2 to water by intermolecular oxygen atom transfer; not the same as nitrate reductase Registry number: EC 1.7.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| isobutyl nitrite | A liquid present in commercial amyl nitrite, with similar antispasmodic and vasodilator properties. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ferredoxin-nitrite oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Catalyses reduction of nitrite to ammonia with reduced ferredoxin as electron donor Registry number: EC 1.7.7.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| ribonucleotide reductases | <enzyme> Registry number: EC 1.17.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
| cytochrome reductases | <enzyme> Registry number: EC 1.6.2. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pyrroline carboxylate reductases | <enzyme> A group of enzymes that catalyze the reduction of 1-pyrroline carboxylate to proline in the presence of NAD(p)h. Includes both the 2-oxidoreductase (ec 1.5.1.1) and the 5-oxidoreductase (ec 1.5.1.2). The former also reduces 1-piperidine-2-carboxylate to pipecolate and the latter also reduces 1-pyrroline-3-hydroxy-5-carboxylate to hydroxyproline. Registry number: EC 1.5.1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductases | <enzyme> In the biosynthesis of cholesterol, these enzymes catalyze the reduction of one of the carboxyl groups of beta-hydroxy, beta-methylglutaryl CoA to yield mevalonic acid.4 requires NADP, EC 1.1.1.88 requires NAD. Chemical name: (S)-Mevalonate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (CoA-acylating) Registry number: EC 1.1.1.88 (12 Dec 1998) |
| nitrate reductases | <enzyme> Registry number: EC 1.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfite reductases | <enzyme> Hydrogen sulfide:(acceptor) oxidoreductases. Enzymes which reversibly catalyze the oxidation of hydrogen sulfide in the presence of various acceptors to sulfite and a reduced acceptor. Utilises NADP+ as the acceptor. Utilises oxidised ferredoxin as acceptor and EC 1.8.99.1 will utilise a variety of acceptors. Registry number: EC 1.8.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| quinone reductases | <enzyme> NAD(p)h:(quinone acceptor) oxidoreductases. A family that includes three enzymes which are distinguished by their sensitivity to various inhibitors. (NAD(p)h dehydrogenase (quinone)) is a flavoprotein which reduces various quinones in the presence of NADH or NADPH and is inhibited by dicoumarol. (NADH dehydrogenase (quinone)) requires NADH, is inhibited by AMP and 2,4-dinitrophenol but not by dicoumarol or folic acid derivatives. (NADPH dehydrogenase (quinone)) requires NADPH and is inhibited by dicoumarol and folic acid derivatives but not by 2,4-dinitrophenol. Registry number: EC 1.6.99. (12 Dec 1998) |
