Pharmacology

MeSH Pharmacological Classification · 6 items

Chemicals that bind to and remove ions from solutions. Many chelating agents function through the formation of COORDINATION COMPLEXES with METALS.

Drugs that inhibit cholinesterases. The neurotransmitter ACETYLCHOLINE is rapidly hydrolyzed, and thereby inactivated, by cholinesterases. When cholinesterases are inhibited, the action of endogenously released acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses is potentiated. Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used clinically for their potentiation of cholinergic inputs to the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the eye, and skeletal muscles; they are also used for their effects on the heart and the central nervous system.

Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.

Agents that are capable of inserting themselves between the successive bases in DNA, thus kinking, uncoiling or otherwise deforming it and therefore preventing its proper functioning. They are used in the study of DNA.

Organic chemicals that form two or more coordination links with an iron ion. Once coordination has occurred, the complex formed is called a chelate. The iron-binding porphyrin group of hemoglobin is an example of a metal chelate found in biological systems.

Compounds which inhibit or antagonize biosynthesis or actions of proteases (ENDOPEPTIDASES).

1,10-Phenanthroline: ACTIVE

Applications · 3 items

Descriptiono-Phenanthroline is a white crystalline powder and serves as an organic intermediate. It has multiple uses, acting as both a redox indicator and a reagent for the determination of various metals such as ferrous, palladium, vanadium, copper, and iron.

UsesAs an analytical reagent for determination of metals in chemical and biological systems through complex formation. As an indicator ("Ferroin") in combination with ferrous ions for oxidation/reduction reactions. In organic syntheses as an activator.

Useso-Phenanthroline is a commonly used redox indicator and also a bidentate ligand. It has been widely used in transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions and CH bond activation reactions. It also acts as a chelating agent, forming complexes with most metal ions. In addition, it functions as a ligand employed in the spectrophotometric determination of metals and photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide.
