Trimetrexate

A nonclassical folic acid inhibitor through its inhibition of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase. It is being tested for efficacy as an antineoplastic agent and as an antiparasitic agent against pneumocystis pneumonia in AIDS patients. M...

Dihydro-alpha-ergocryptine

Alpha-dihydroergocryptine is usually referred to the mixture of the alpha and beta dihydroergocryptine. These two compounds are differentiated in the position of a methyl group. This structural difference is due to a proteinogenic amino ...

Anethole trithione

Anethole trithione (ATT) appears to have a broad range of unique functions, from increasing salivary secretion to help treat xerostomia , to demonstrating an ability to inhibit carcinogenesis by increasing the activity of electrophile de...

Drotrecogin alfa

Drotrecogin alfa is activated human protein C that is synthesized by recombinant DNA technology. It is a glycoprotein of approximately 55 kilodalton molecular weight, consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain linked by a disulfide bo...

Vindesine

Vinblastine derivative with antineoplastic activity against cancer. Major side effects are myelosuppression and neurotoxicity. Vindesine is used extensively in chemotherapy protocols (antineoplastic combined chemotherapy protocols).

Gallamine triethiodide

A synthetic nondepolarizing blocking drug. The actions of gallamine triethiodide are similar to those of tubocurarine, but this agent blocks the cardiac vagus and may cause sinus tachycardia and, occasionally, hypertension and increased ...

Dantrolene

Chemically, dantrolene is a hydantoin derivative, but does not exhibit antiepileptic activity like other hydantoin derivates such as phenytoin.

Mesoridazine

A phenothiazine antipsychotic with effects similar to chlorpromazine.

Rociverine

Netilmicin

Netilmicin is a semisynthetic 1-N-ethyl derivative of sisomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic with action similar to gentamicin, but less ear and kidney toxicity. Netilmicin inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible organisms by binding ...
