edelfosine and Neural Tube Defects

edelfosine has been researched along with Neural Tube Defects in 1 studies

edelfosine: RN given refers to parent cpd
edelfosine : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)- and (S)-edelfosine.
1-octadecyl-2-methylglycero-3-phosphocholine : A glycerophosphocholine that is glycero-3-phosphocholine substituted at positions 1 and 2 by octadecyl and methyl groups respectively.

Neural Tube Defects: Congenital malformations of the central nervous system and adjacent structures related to defective neural tube closure during the first trimester of pregnancy generally occurring between days 18-29 of gestation. Ectodermal and mesodermal malformations (mainly involving the skull and vertebrae) may occur as a result of defects of neural tube closure. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch55, pp31-41)
