Doramectin is a macrocyclic lactone derivative of ivermectin, an anthelmintic that potentiates glutamate- and GABA-gated chloride channel opening in nematodes.

olic acid and Folate (the anion form) are forms of a water-soluble B vitamin. These occur naturally in food and can also be taken as supplements. The biologically active form of folic acid is tetrahydrofolic acid (THFA), which is derived by the 2-step reduction of folate involving dihydrofolate reductase. THFA plays a key role in […]

Formaldehyde is a colorless poisonous gas synthesized by the oxidation of methanol and used as an antiseptic, disinfectant, histologic fixative, and general-purpose chemical reagent for laboratory applications. Formaldehyde is readily soluble in water and is commonly distributed as a 37% solution in water; formalin, a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water, is used as a […]

Saccharin is a 1,2-benzisothiazole having a keto-group at the 3-position and two oxo substituents at the 1-position. It is used as an artificial sweetening agent. It has a role as a sweetening agent, a xenobiotic and an environmental contaminant. It is a 1,2-benzisothiazole and a N-sulfonylcarboxamide.

Salicylate is a monohydroxybenzoate that is the conjugate base of salicylic acid. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a conjugate base of a salicylic acid.

Simvastatin is a lipid-lowering agent derived synthetically from a fermentation product of the fungus Aspergillus terreus. Hydrolyzed in vivo to an active metabolite, simvastatin competitively inhibits hepatic hydroxymethyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a key step in cholesterol synthesis. This agent lowers plasma cholesterol and lipoprotein […]

Enoxacin is a fluoroquinolone that prevents bacterial growth by interfering with DNA replication, inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase (IC50 = 126 μg/ml) and topoisomerase IV (IC50 = 26.5 μg/ml). It demonstrates broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Its ability to bind to TAR RNA-binding protein 2, a microRNA biosynthesis protein, has been used […]

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, used to treat many types of bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-negative organisms. However, gentamicin is not used for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Neisseria meningitidis or Legionella pneumophila. Gentamicin is also ototoxic and nephrotoxic, with this toxicity remaining a major problem in clinical use.
