Chlorobi. Bacteria, Green Sulfur . Chlorobiaceae . Green Sulfur Bacteria . A phylum of anoxygenic, phototrophic bacteria including the family Chlorobiaceae. They occur in aquatic sediments, sulfur springs, and hot springs and utilize reduced sulfur compounds instead of oxygen. . 0.81
Anemia, Hypochromic. Anemias, Hypochromic . Chloroses . Hypochromic Anemia . Hypochromic Anemias . Chlorosis . Anemia characterized by a decrease in the ratio of the weight of hemoglobin to the volume of the erythrocyte, i.e., the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration is less than normal. The individual cells contain less hemoglobin than they could have under optimal conditions. Hypochromic anemia may be caused by iron deficiency from a low iron intake, diminished iron absorption, or excessive iron loss. It can also be caused by infections or other diseases, therapeutic drugs, lead poisoning, and other conditions. (Stedman, 25th ed; from Miale, Laboratory Medicine: Hematology, 6th ed, p393) . 0.80
Chloramphenicol. Chlornitromycin . Chlorocid . Chloromycetin . Detreomycin . Ophthochlor . Syntomycin . Cloranfenicol . Kloramfenikol . Levomycetin . An antibiotic first isolated from cultures of Streptomyces venequelae in 1947 but now produced synthetically. It has a relatively simple structure and was the first broad-spectrum antibiotic to be discovered. It acts by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis and is mainly bacteriostatic.

Trichlorfon. Bilarcil . Chlorofos . Dipterex . Dylox . Foschlor . Metriphonate . Neguvon . Ricifon . Trichlorphon . Chlorophos . Metrifonate . An organochlorophosphate cholinesterase inhibitor that is used as an insecticide for the control of flies and roaches. It is also used in anthelmintic compositions for animals. (From Merck, 11th ed) . 0.77
Methyl Chloride. Chloromethane . Chloride, Methyl . A hydrocarbon used as an industrial solvent. It has been used as an aerosal propellent, as a refrigerant and as a local anesthetic. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 31st ed, p1403) . 0.76
Chloroquine. Aralen . Arechine . Arequin . Chingamin . Chlorochin . Chloroquine Sulfate . Chloroquine Sulphate . Khingamin . Nivaquine . Sulfate, Chloroquine . Sulphate, Chloroquine . The prototypical antimalarial agent with a mechanism that is not well understood. It has also been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and in the systemic therapy of amebic liver abscesses. . 0.75
Chloroplasts. Chloroplast . Etioplasts . Etioplast . Plant cell inclusion bodies that contain the photosynthetic pigment CHLOROPHYLL, which is associated with the membrane of THYLAKOIDS. Chloroplasts occur in cells of leaves and young stems of plants. They are also found in some forms of PHYTOPLANKTON such as HAPTOPHYTA; DINOFLAGELLATES; DIATOMS; and CRYPTOPHYTA. . 0.75
