cyclocumarol |
4-Hydroxycoumarin anticoagulant No. 63; a synthetic anticoagulant compound, related to bishydroxycoumarin. (05 Mar 2000) |
cyclodestructive |
Relating to a procedure designed to damage the ciliary body in order to diminish the production of aqueous fluid in patients with glaucoma. See: cyclocryotherapy, cyclodiathermy, cyclophotocoagulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
cyclodextrin |
<protein> A cyclic oligomer of alpha-D-glucopyranose. The most common cyclodextrinsare alpha, beta and gamma cyclodextrin having 6, 7 and 8 glucopyranoseunits respectively. They occur naturally in starch digests of the bacteria Bacillus Macerans. With a hydrophobic interior cavity, they can complex small hydrophobic molecules while remaining solublein water. Potential applications include water-soluble pharmaceuticals and herbicides and pesticides. (09 Oct 1997) |
cyclodextrin glucoamylase |
<enzyme> From flavobacterium species Registry number: EC 3.2.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
cyclodextrins |
A homologous group of cyclic glucans consisting of alpha-1,4 bound glucose units obtained by the action of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase on starch or similar substrates. The enzyme is produced by certain species of bacillus. Cyclodextrins form inclusion complexes with a wide variety of substances. (12 Dec 1998) |
cyclodialysis |
A treatment for glaucoma (a disease causing increased pressure in the eyeball) in which a passage is made between the suprachordial space and the anterior chamber of the eyeball to relieve pressure. (09 Oct 1997) |
cyclodiathermy |
Diathermy applied to the sclera adjacent to the ciliary body in the treatment of glaucoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
cycloduction |
Rotation of the eye around its visual axis. Synonym: circumduction, cyclotorsion. Origin: cyclo-+ L. Duco, pp. Ductus, to draw (05 Mar 2000) |
cycloelectrolysis |
An obsolete procedure in which electrolysis is applied to the ciliary body to reduce ocular pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
cycloeucalenol-obtusifol isomerase |
<enzyme> Opens cyclopropane ring at c9-10 of ring b and forms a double bond between c8 and c9 Registry number: EC 5.3.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
cyclofenil |
<chemical> A gonadal stimulant and inducer of ovulation. It is used in the treatment of infertility and amenorrhoea, but is thought to be less effective than clomiphene. Pharmacological action: fertility agents, female. Chemical name: Phenol, 4-((4-(acetyloxy)phenyl)cyclohexylidenemethyl)-, acetate (12 Dec 1998) |
cycloguanil pamoate |
Chloroguanide triazine pamoate; 4,6-diamino-1-(p-chlorophenyl)-1,2-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-s-triazine pamoate;a long-acting antimalarial agent that prevents the growth or survival of the pre-erythrocytic and erythrocytic parasites. (05 Mar 2000) |
cyclohexadienyl dehydratase |
<enzyme> From pseudomonas aeruginosa; catalyses both prephenate dehydratase and arogenate dehydratase reactions Registry number: EC 4.2.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
