cycloserine |
<drug> A broad-spectrum antibiotic synthesised by the bacterium Streptomyces orchidaceus which is used most often to treat urinary tract infections and tuberculosis.This antibiotic is a structural analogue of the amino acid D-alanine and it inhibits bacteria's ability to make peptidoglycan, an important component of the bacterial cell wall. (09 Oct 1997) |
cyclosis |
Cyclical streaming of the cytoplasm of plant cells, conspicuous in giant internodal cells of algae such as Chara, in pollen tubes and in stamen hairs of Tradescantia. Term also used to denote cyclical movement of food vacuoles from mouth to cytoproct in ciliate protozoa. (18 Nov 1997) |
Cyclospora |
A Cryptosporidium-like genus of coccidian parasites reported from millipedes, reptiles, insectivores, and a rodent species. Cyclospora is characterised by acid-fast oocysts with two sporocysts, each with two sporozoites. Cyclospora species is an undescribed but distinct species of Cyclospora that is implicated as the cause of a widespread, prolonged but self-limited human diarrhoea in patients in North, Central, and South America; Caribbean countries; Southeast Asia; and eastern Europe previously reported as caused by cyanobacterium-like bodies. Synonym: cyanobacterium-like bodies. (05 Mar 2000) |
cyclospora cayetanensis |
Cyclospora cayetanensis is an acid-fast, coccidian-like, parasitic protozoan with the size of 8-10 micrometre in diameter. Cyclospora cayetanesis was recently recognised as a new (intestinal) protozoan pathogen of human (1993, species name was proposed in 1994) and was identified as the cause of the prolonged diarrhoea of travelers as well as immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. (09 Oct 1997) |
cyclosporin |
<drug> Cyclic undecapeptide isolated from Tolypocladium inflatum, that has potent immunosuppressant activity on both humoral and cellular systems. The use of cyclosporin has made transplant surgery much easier, although the long term consequences of suppressing immune function are not yet clear. Used widely as an an antirejection drug in transplant surgery and to prevent and treat rejection and graft-versus-host disease in bone marrow transplant patients by suppressing their normal immune system. (13 Nov 1997) |
cyclosporin A |
<chemical> A cyclic undecapeptide from an extract of soil fungi. It is a powerful immunosupressant with a specific action on T-lymphocytes. It is used for the prophylaxis of graft rejection in organ and tissue transplantation. Pharmacological action: antirheumatic agents, carcinogens, immunosuppressive agents. Chemical name: Cyclosporin A (12 Dec 1998) |
cyclosporin A synthetase |
<chemical> Multifunctional enzyme from tolypocladium inflatum Synonym: cyclosporin synthetase (26 Jun 1999) |
cyclosporine |
<chemical> A cyclic undecapeptide from an extract of soil fungi. It is a powerful immunosupressant with a specific action on T-lymphocytes. It is used for the prophylaxis of graft rejection in organ and tissue transplantation. Pharmacological action: antirheumatic agents, carcinogens, immunosuppressive agents. Chemical name: Cyclosporin A (12 Dec 1998) |
cyclosporins |
<chemical> A group of closely related cyclic undecapeptides from the fungi trichoderma polysporum and cylindocarpon lucidum. They have some antineoplastic and antifungal action and significant immunosuppressive effects. Cyclosporins have been proposed as adjuvants in tissue and organ transplantation to suppress graft rejection. Pharmacological action: enzyme inhibitors, immunosuppressive agents. (12 Dec 1998) |

cyclic AMP
|
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP, cyclic AMP or 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is a molecule that is important in many biological processes; it is derived from adenosine triphosphate (ATP).cAMP is a second messenger, used for intracellular signal transduction, such as transferring the effects of hormones like glucagon and adrenaline, which cannot get through the cell membrane. ...

cyclic neutropenia
|
tends to occur every three weeks and lasting three to six days at a time due to changing rates of cell production by the bone marrow. It is often present among several members of the same family although improves after puberty in most cases. This is the rarest form of severe chronic neutropenia.

cyclobenzaprine
|
Cyclobenzaprine is a skeletal muscle relaxant. It is marketed as Flexeril (5 and 10 mg tablets). The 10 milligram tablets are available generically. Stucturally, the drug resembles the tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) Elavil and has the same effect profile. ...

cyclopropane
|
Cyclopropane is a cycloalkane molecule with the molecular formula C3H6 consisting of three carbon atoms linked to each other to form a ring, with each carbon atom bearing two hydrogen atoms. The bonds between the carbon atoms are a great deal weaker than in a typical carbon-carbon bond. This is the result of the 60?angle between the carbon atoms, which is far less than the normal angle of 109? ...

cyclotron
|
A cyclotron is a machine designed to accelerate clusters of charged particles by using a high frequency alternating voltage and a perpendicular magnetic field to spiral the beam out and eventually deflect it once the beam's radius equals its container's. At this point the particles' speed is generally very high, approaching the speed of light. The cyclotron was invented by Ernest Lawrence in 1929, who used it in experiments that required particles with energy of up to 1 MeV. ...
