Dioxolanes

Itraconazole, sometimes abbreviated ITZ, is an antifungal medication used to treat a number of fungal infections. This includes aspergillosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, and paracoccidioidomycosis. It may be given by mouth or intravenously.

thumb|150px|Stada Ketoconazole, sold under the brand name Nizoral, among others, is an antiandrogen, antifungal, and antiglucocorticoid medication used to treat a number of fungal infections. Applied to the skin it is used for fungal skin infections such as tinea, cutaneous candidiasis, pityriasis versicolor, dandruff, and seborrheic dermatitis. Taken by mouth it is a less preferred option and recommended for only severe infections when other agents cannot be used. Other uses include treatment of excessive male-patterned hair growth in women and Cushing's syndrome.

Dioxolane is a heterocyclic acetal with the chemical formula (CH2)2O2CH2. It is related to tetrahydrofuran (THF) by replacement of the methylene group (CH2) at the 3-position with an oxygen atom. The corresponding saturated 6-membered C4O2 rings are called dioxanes. The isomeric 1,2-dioxolane (wherein the two oxygen centers are adjacent) is a peroxide. 1,3-dioxolane is used as a solvent and as a comonomer in polyacetals.

chemical compound

NanoPutians are a series of organic molecules whose structural formulae resemble human forms. James Tour's research group designed and synthesized these compounds in 2003 as a part of a sequence on chemical education for young students. The compounds consist of two benzene rings connected via a few carbon atoms as the body, four acetylene units each carrying an alkyl group at their ends which represents the hands and legs, and a 1,3-dioxolane ring as the head. Tour and his team at Rice University used the NanoPutians in their NanoKids educational outreach program. The goal of this program was

Terconazole is an antifungal drug used to treat vaginal yeast infection. It comes as a lotion or a suppository and disrupts the biosynthesis of fats in a yeast cell. It has a relatively broad spectrum compared to azole compounds but not triazole compounds. Testing shows that it is a suitable compound for prophylaxis for those that suffer from chronic vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Chloralose (also known as α-chloralose) is an avicide, and a rodenticide used to kill mice in temperatures below 15 °C. It is also widely used in neuroscience and veterinary medicine as an anesthetic and sedative. Either alone or in combination, such as with urethane, it is used for long-lasting, but light anesthesia. It has been used with oral administration to sedate wild Canada geese for translocation in Nevada.

Fructone is the organic compound with the formula It is the ketal derived from the condensation of ethyl acetoacetate and ethylene glycol. Also known as apple ketal and applinal, it has a fruity, apple-like smell with pineapple, strawberry, and woody aspects reminiscent of pine trees. It is a commercial fragrance.

Landiolol, sold under the brand names Onoact, Rapibloc®, Sibboran® and Rapiblyk® among others, is a medication used for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and atrial flutter in perioperative, postoperative or other circumstances where short-term control of the ventricular rate with a short-acting agent is desirable. With the exception of the USA, landiolol is also indicated for non-compensatory sinus tachycardia where, in the physician's judgment, the rapid heart rate requires specific intervention. It is a β-adrenergic blocker; an ultra short-acting, β1-super-

Neocarzinostatin (NCS) is a macromolecular chromoprotein enediyne antitumor antibiotic secreted by Streptomyces macromomyceticus.

Doxofylline (also known as doxophylline) is a phosphodiesterase inhibiting bronchodilator used in the treatment of chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD. Like theophylline, it is a xanthine derivative.

Amdoxovir is a pharmaceutical drug that has undergone research for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. It acts as a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI). The drug was discovered by Raymond F. Schinazi (Emory University) and C.K. Chu (University of Georgia) and developed by RFS Pharma.

chemical compound

Glycerol-1,2-carbonate is formally the cyclic ester of carbonic acid with glycerol and has aroused great interest as a possible product from the "waste materials" carbon dioxide CO2 and glycerol (especially from biodiesel production) with a wide range of applications.
