sodium arsenite [Supplementary Concept]
Date introduced: January 1, 1979
Enzyme Inhibitors
Compounds or agents that combine with an enzyme in such a manner as to prevent the normal substrate-enzyme combination and the catalytic reaction.
Year introduced: 1975(1964)
Arsenites
Inorganic salts or organic esters of arsenious acid.
Year introduced: 1994
Sodium Compounds
Inorganic compounds that contain sodium as an integral part of the molecule.
Ions
An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as CATIONS; those with a negative charge are ANIONS.
Inorganic Chemicals
A broad class of substances encompassing all those that do not include carbon and its derivatives as their principal elements. However, carbides, carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, and carbon disulfide are included in this class.
Year introduced: 1998
Electrolytes
Substances that dissociate into two or more ions, to some extent, in water. Solutions of electrolytes thus conduct an electric current and can be decomposed by it (ELECTROLYSIS). (Grant and Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Arsenicals
Inorganic or organic compounds that contain arsenic.
Year introduced: ARSENIC COMPOUNDS was heading 1994-1995
Anions
Negatively charged atoms, radicals or groups of atoms which travel to the anode or positive pole during electrolysis.
Year introduced: 1974
Molecular Mechanisms of Pharmacological Action
Pharmacological activities at the molecular level of DRUGS and other exogenous compounds that are used to treat DISEASES and affect normal BIOCHEMISTRY.
Year introduced: 2008(2004)
Pharmacologic Actions
A broad category of chemical actions and uses that result in the prevention, treatment, cure or diagnosis of disease. Included here are drugs and chemicals that act by altering normal body functions, such as the REPRODUCTIVE CONTROL AGENTS and ANESTHETICS. Effects of chemicals on the environment are also included.
Year introduced: 2004(1999)
Chemical Actions and Uses
A group of pharmacologic activities, effects on living systems and the environment, and modes of employment of drugs and chemicals. They are broken into actions, which describe their effects, and uses, which describe how they are employed.
Year introduced: 1999
