Context examples:
A sulfonamide and carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitor with diuretic and anti-glaucoma activity.
(Ethoxzolamide, NCI Thesaurus)
The hydrochloride salt form of dorzolamide, an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase, a zinc-containing enzyme that catalyzes the rapid conversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid, protons and bicarbonate ions.
(Dorzolamide Hydrochloride, NCI Thesaurus)
In addition, this agent inhibits many carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoenzymes.
(Chlorthalidone, NCI Thesaurus)
Carbonic anhydrases play important roles in mineral and metabolic homeostasis.
(Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor, NCI Thesaurus)
This species is oxidase positive, reduces nitrite, but not nitrate, produces carbonic anhydrase, does not hydrolyze tributyrin, is non-hemolytic, and does not produce acid from glucose, maltose, fructose, sucrose, mannose, or lactose.
(Neisseria cinerea, NCI Thesaurus)
Alipamide primarily causes a saluretic effect and is able to inhibit carbonic anhydrase at higher doses which may also contribute to this agent's diuretic effect.
(Alipamide, NCI Thesaurus)
Autologous dendritic cells (DCs) transduced with a recombinant, replication-defective adenoviral vector expressing the fusion gene granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and carbonic anhydrase IX (CA-IX or CA9) (GMCA-9), with potential immunomodulating activity.
(AdGMCAIX-transduced Autologous Dendritic Cells, NCI Thesaurus)
It secretes bicarbonate made in the cell by the dissociation of carbonic acid in the presence of carbonic anhydrase II.
(Pancreatic Centroacinar Cell, NCI Thesaurus)
Acetazolamide is a potent inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase that plays an important role in the control of fluid secretion.
(Acetazolamide Sodium, NCI Thesaurus)
A sulfonamide and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor with specific affinity for carbonic anhydrase II.
