- 1. 3,3'-Azobis[6-hydroxybenzoic Acid]
- [A prodrug of mesalamine (5-Aminosalicylic acid; 5-ASA) with anti-inflammatory activity. Unabsorbed olsalazine passes through gastrointestinal tract and is cleaved by azoreductases, produced by microflora in colon, into 2 active molecules of 5-ASA. 5-ASA exerts its anti-inflammatory action locally by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase activities, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. In addition, mesalamine may act as a scavenger of reactive oxygen free radicals. ( NCI )] (UMLS (NCI) C0069454) =Organic Chemical; Pharmacologic Substance ;
=Aminosalicylic Acids;
[GA900] GASTRIC MEDICATIONS, OTHER =Olsalazine Sodium;
| - 7. azotemia
- [A biochemical abnormality referring to an elevation of BLOOD UREA NITROGEN and CREATININE. Azotemia can be produced by KIDNEY DISEASES or other extrarenal disorders. When azotemia becomes associated with a constellation of clinical signs, it is termed UREMIA. ( MSH )] (UMLS (CSP) C0242528) =Disease or Syndrome ;

- 2. azo compound
- [group of compounds containing the -N=N- group. ( CSP )] (UMLS (CSP) C0004501) =Organic Chemical ;
| - 8. Azotobacter
- [genus of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria found in soil and water; its organisms occur singly, in pairs or irregular clumps, and sometimes in chains of varying lengths. ( CSP )] (UMLS (CSP) C0004515) =Bacterium ;
|
- 3. azobenzene
- [orange-red crystalline product of the reduction of nitrobenzene; parent substance of azo dyes and some pH indicators; is carcinogenic. ( CSP )] (UMLS (CSP) C0052802) =Organic Chemical; Hazardous or Poisonous Substance =azo compound;
dye;
insecticide;
| - 9. Azotobacter vinelandii
- [species of gram negative, aerobic bacteria first isolated from soil in Vineland, New Jersey; ammonium and nitrate are used as nitrogen sources by this bacterium; it is distinguished from other members of its genus by the ability to use rhamnose as a carbon source. ( CSP )] (UMLS (CSP) C0085462) =Bacterium =Azotobacter;
|
- 4. azole
- [sometimes used interchangeably with pyrrole; sometimes used to mean a pyrrole with at least one more hetero atom (N,O,S, etc.) in the ring. ( CSP )] (UMLS (CSP) C0004504) =Organic Chemical ;
| - 10. Azotobacteraceae
- [A subfamily of motile, gram-negative bacteria found in SOIL and WATER and capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen. ( MSH )] (UMLS (CSP) C0004516) =Bacterium ;
|
- 5. AZOOSPERMIA
- [A condition of having no sperm present in the ejaculate (SEMEN). ( MSH )] (UMLS (ICD9CM) C0004509) =Disease or Syndrome ;
| - 11. Azotomycin
- [An antineoplastic-antibiotic diazo analog of L-glutamine isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces ambofaciens. Azotomycin inhibits glutamine-dependent enzymes involved in purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis, resulting in inhibition of DNA synthesis. (NCI04) ( NCI )] (UMLS (NCI) C0052821) =Organic Chemical; Pharmacologic Substance
|
- 6. Azorhizobium caulinodans
- [A species of AZORHIZOBIUM which forms nodules on the roots of the tropical legume Sesbania rostrata. (From Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, 9th ed) ( MSH )] (UMLS (CSP) C0752017) =Bacterium ;
| - 12. Azoxymethane
- [A potent carcinogen and neurotoxic compound. It is particularly effective in inducing colon carcinomas. ( MSH )] (UMLS (NCI) C0004519) =Organic Chemical; Hazardous or Poisonous Substance
