MemberDefinitionClass
acamprosateAn organosulfonic acid that is propane-1-sulfonic acid substituted by an acetylamino group at position 3.acamprosate
ambenonium chlorideA symmetrical oxalamide-based bis-quaternary ammonium salt having ethyl and 2-chlorobenzyl groups attached to the nitrogens.ambenonium chloride
angiotensin iA ten amino acid peptide formed by renin cleavage of angiotensinogen. Angiotensin I has no direct biological function except that high levels can stimulate catecholamine production. It is metabolized to its biologically active byproduct angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) through cleavage of the two terminal amino acids.angiotensin I dizwitterion; angiotensin I
