Aspirin. 2-(Acetyloxy)benzoic Acid . Acetysal . Acylpyrin . Aloxiprimum . Colfarit . Dispril . Easprin . Ecotrin . Endosprin . Magnecyl . Micristin . Polopirin . Polopiryna . Solprin . Solupsan . Zorprin . Acid, Acetylsalicylic . Acetylsalicylic Acid . The prototypical analgesic used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties and acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase which results in the inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Aspirin also inhibits platelet aggregation and is used in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p5) . 1.00
Microcystins. Cyclic heptapeptides found in MICROCYSTIS and other CYANOBACTERIA. Hepatotoxic and carcinogenic effects have been noted. They are sometimes called cyanotoxins, which should not be confused with chemicals containing a cyano group (CN) which are toxic. . 0.61
Glucose Oxidase. Microcid . Oxidase, Glucose . An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the conversion of beta-D-glucose and oxygen to D-glucono-1,5-lactone and peroxide. It is a flavoprotein, highly specific for beta-D-glucose. The enzyme is produced by Penicillium notatum and other fungi and has antibacterial activity in the presence of glucose and oxygen. It is used to estimate glucose concentration in blood or urine samples through the formation of colored dyes by the hydrogen peroxide produced in the reaction.
