nicotine N-glucuronide [Supplementary Concept]
a metabolite of nicotine
Date introduced: March 14, 1994
Uronic Acids
Acids derived from monosaccharides by the oxidation of the terminal (-CH2OH) group farthest removed from the carbonyl group to a (-COOH) group. (From Stedmans, 26th ed)
Sugar Acids
MONOSACCHARIDES and other sugars that contain one or more carboxylic acid moieties.
Year introduced: 1973
Solanaceous Alkaloids
Alkaloids, mainly tropanes, elaborated by plants of the family Solanaceae, including Atropa, Hyoscyamus, Mandragora, Nicotiana, Solanum, etc. Some act as cholinergic antagonists; most are very toxic; many are used medicinally.
Year introduced: 1979
Pyridines
Compounds with a six membered aromatic ring containing NITROGEN. The saturated version is PIPERIDINES.
Organic Chemicals
A broad class of substances containing carbon and its derivatives. Many of these chemicals will frequently contain hydrogen with or without oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. They exist in either carbon chain or carbon ring form.
Year introduced: 1998
Hydroxy Acids
Organic compounds containing both the hydroxyl and carboxyl radicals.
Year introduced: 1975
Heterocyclic Compounds, 1-Ring
Organic compounds that contain a ring structure made up of carbon and one or more additional elements such as nitrogen and oxygen.
Heterocyclic Compounds
Cyclic compounds that include atoms other than carbon in their ring structure.
Glucuronates
Derivatives of GLUCURONIC ACID. Included under this heading are a broad variety of acid forms, salts, esters, and amides that include the 6-carboxy glucose structure.
Carboxylic Acids
Organic compounds containing the carboxy group (-COOH). This group of compounds includes amino acids and fatty acids. Carboxylic acids can be saturated, unsaturated, or aromatic.
Year introduced: 1973(1971)
Carbohydrates
A class of organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of Cn(H2O)n. The largest class of organic compounds, including STARCH; GLYCOGEN; CELLULOSE; POLYSACCHARIDES; and simple MONOSACCHARIDES.
Year introduced: /metabolism was CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM 1963-1965
Alkaloids
Organic nitrogenous bases. Many alkaloids of medical importance occur in the animal and vegetable kingdoms, and some have been synthesized. (Grant and Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
Acids, Aldehydic
Dicarboxylic acids in which one of the carboxyl groups (-COOH) has been replaced by an aldehyde group (-CHO).
Acids, Acyclic
Carboxylic acids that have open-chain molecular structures as opposed to ring-shaped structures.
