- (+)-4-Amino-3-isoxazolidinone
- [An analogue of the amino acid D-alanine with broad-spectrum antibiotic and glycinergic activities. D-cycloserine interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis by competitively inhibiting two enzymes, L-alanine racemase and D-alanine:D-alanine ligase, thereby impairing peptidoglycan formation necessary for bacterial cell wall synthesis. This agent may be bactericidal or bacteriostatic, depending on its concentration at the infection site and the susceptibility of the organism. In More…
- (+)-6-[Amino(4-chlorophenyl)(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methyl]-4-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-methyl-2(1H)-quinolinone
- [An anticancer drug that inhibits the transformation of normal cells to cancer cells. It belongs to the family of drugs called enzyme inhibitors. ( NCI )] (UMLS (NCI) C1176289) Tipifarnib;; =Organic Chemical; Pharmacologic Substance
- (+)-A 127722
- (UMLS (NCI) C0663262) =Organic Chemical; Pharmacologic Substance ;;
- (+)-Aldosterone
- [hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex that regulates electrolyte and water balance by increasing the renal retention of sodium and the excretion of potassium. ( CSP )] (UMLS (NCI) C0002006) =Steroid; Pharmacologic Substance; Hormone
- (+)-alpha-Tocopherol
- [A naturally-occurring form of vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin with potent antioxidant properties. Considered essential for the stabilization of biological membranes (especially those with high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids), d-alpha-Tocopherol is a potent peroxyl radical scavenger and inhibits noncompetitively cyclooxygenase activity in many tissues, resulting in a decrease in prostaglandin production. Vitamin E also inhibits angiogenesis and tumor dormancy through suppressing More…
- (+)-alpha-Tocopherol Acetate
- [The acetate ester of a fat-soluble vitamin with potent antioxidant properties. Considered essential for the stabilization of biological membranes (especially those with high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acid), vitamin E is a generic name for a group of compounds known as tocopherols and tocotrienols (tocols). This agent is a potent peroxyl radical scavenger and inhibits noncompetitively cyclooxygenase activity in many tissues, resulting in a decrease in prostaglandin production. More…
- (+-)-2-Amino-N-(beta-hydroxy-2,5-dimethoxyphenethyl)acetamide Monohydrochloride
- [The hydrochloride salt form of midodrine, a direct-acting prodrug and sympathomimetic agent with antihypotensive properties. Midodrine is converted to its active metabolite, desglymidodrine by deglycination reaction. Desglymidodrine selectively binds to and activates alpha-1-adrenergic receptors of the arteriolar and venous vasculature. This causes smooth muscle contraction and leads to an elevation of blood pressure. Desglymidodrine diffuses poorly across the blood-brain barrier, and More…
- (+-)-alpha-((tert-Butylamino)methyl)-3,5-dihydroxybenzyl Alcohol Sulfate(2:1)(salt)
- [The sulfate salt form of terbutaline, an ethanolamine derivative with bronchodilating and tocolytic properties. Terbutaline sulfate selectively binds to and activates beta-2 adrenergic receptors, leading to intracellular adenyl cyclase activation via a trimeric G protein and subsequent increase in cyclic cAMP production. Increased cAMP levels result in relaxation of bronchial and vascular smooth muscle mediated through the activation of protein kinase A (PKA), which phosphorylates More…
- (+/-)-alpha-Tocopherol
- [A substance used in cancer prevention. It belongs to the family of drugs called tocopherols. ( NCI )] (UMLS (NCI) C0042874) =Lipid; Pharmacologic Substance; Vitamin =benzopyran;;[DE350] EMOLLIENTS;;(+/-)-alpha-Tocopherol;;[VT000] VITAMINS =(+)-alpha-Tocopherol Acetate;;VITAMIN E OIL;;TOCOPHERYL ACID SUCCINATE,D-ALPHA;;TOCOPHEROL,DL-ALPHA;;(+)-alpha-Tocopherol Acetate;;AMINOBENZOIC ACID LOTION (ML);;PEPTAMEN LIQUID UNFLAVORED,250ML;;PEPTAMEN LIQUID VANILLA,250ML;;ALOE VERA/VITAMIN E More…
- (-)-alpha-(1-Aminoethyl)-3,4-dihydroxybenzyl Alcohol
- [The levoisomer of nordefrin, a synthetic catecholamine and norepinephrine derivative with sympathomimetic and antihypertensive effects. Levonordefrin's antihypertensive effect is exerted through activation of alpha 2-adrenergic receptors in the cardiovascular control center of the CNS thereby suppressing the sympathetic output from the brain and subsequently lowering blood pressure. Levonordefrin binds to and activates peripheral alpha 2- adrenergic receptors, thereby causing More…
- (--)-2Amino-3-)3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoic Acid
- [naturally occuring form of DOPA and precursor of dopamine; used as an antiparkinsonian agent; unlike dopamine it can be administered orally. ( CSP )] (UMLS (NCI) C0023570) =Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein; Pharmacologic Substance; Neuroreactive Substance or Biogenic Amine ;; =[CN500] ANTIPARKINSON AGENTS;;dihydroxyphenylalanine =LEVODOPA 100 MG;;LEVODOPA 200 MG;;LEVODOPA 250 MG;;Carbidopa 12.5 MG / entacapone 200 MG / Levodopa 50 MG Oral Tablet;;LEVODOPA 150 MG
- (1 Alpha,11 alpha)-11-(acetyloxy)-1-(methoxymethyl)-2-oxaandrosta-5,8-dieno(6,5,4-bc)furan- 3,7,17-trione
- [A potent fungal metabolite isolated from Penicillium wortmannin that selectively inhibits phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and affects the signal transduction pathway. (NCI) ( NCI )] (UMLS (NCI) C0078517) =Steroid; Pharmacologic Substance; Biologically Active Substance
