Medically important

Many different combinations, separation -i- element-selective detection, have been attempted but HPLC in conjunction with ISP-MS has emerged as one of the best combinations. HPLC is a versatile technique, which due to the vai iety of sepai ation mechanisms developed, can be applied to a great vai iety of medically important analytes. 

Some microbial exopolysaccharides contain the inorganic substituents phosphate and sulphate. Phosphate has been found in exopolysaccharide from bacteria of medical importance, including Escherichia coli. Sulphate is far less common than phosphate and has only been found in spedes of cyanobaderia. In addition to these inorganic components, which form part of the structure of some exopolysaccharides, all polyanionic polymers will bind a mixture of cations. Exopolysaccharides are, therefore, purified in the salt form. The strength of binding of the various cations depend on the exopolysaccharide some bind the divalent cations calrium, barium and strontium very strongly, whereas others prefer certain monovalent cations, eg Na ... 

Dextran can be produced in a range of molecular weights and crossed-linked or substituted with a variety of functional groups. These products (Sephadex) are routinely used in the purification of proteins and pharmaceutical and other medically important compounds.

The ability to grow at the expense of 4-hydroxy- and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate has been nsed for the classification of medically important yeasts inclnding Candida parapsilosis (Cooper and Land 1979). This organism degrades these snbstrates by oxidative decarboxylation, catalyzed by a flavoprotein monooxygenase (Eppink et al. 1997).

Our new understanding of conidium development has resulted in the redefinition of many genera of medically important fungi. Terms such as spore and conidium (plural, conidia) are no longer used interchangeably. Many mycologists consider spores to be propagules that arise either from meiosis (ascospores, basidio-spores, oospores,... 

A number of medically important fungi have the ability to produce sexual forms. The sexual form of a fungus is referred to as a teleomorph. Pseudallescheria boydii is characterized by the formation of cleistothecia hence, it is a teleomorph. P. boydii also...

Using the same logic, the PTO has granted patents, for example, for pure cultures of specific microorganisms and for medically important proteins (e.g. Factor VIII purified from blood (Chapter 12) and EPO purified from urine (Chapter 10)). 

The lethal efficacy (topical application) of Metofluthrin for medically important pests is given in Table 1. 

The lethal efficacy of Metofluthrin against four medically important mosquito species (C. pipiens pallens, Culex quinquefasciatus, Aedes aegypti, and A. albopictus) is summarized in Fig. 2. The efficacy of Metofluthrin was found to be very high against all these 4 species and it was between 19 and 49 times higher than that of d allethrin. 

The nutritional and medical importance of ascorbate is well known. Besides this, it is also used as, e.g., a skin-whitening agent in cosmetics in Japan due to its in vivo inhibitory effect on melanin synthesis.129... 

Chloro-2-(chloromethyl)-1-propene is commercially available but is very expensive (> 45/g for 10 g, Aldrich Chemical Company, 1996). It is commonly used in the synthesis of natural products,5 polymers,6 cryptands and crown ethers,7 compounds of biological and medical importance,8 and is the starting material for the Szeimies synthesis of [1.1.1]propellane.9... 

The question of whether and to what degree chemicals present in air, food, drinking water, medicinal agents, consumer products, and in the work place pose a threat to human health is obviously of enormous social and medical importance. This book is an attempt to answer... 

Therefore, we conducted additional bioassays of four of the F. macrophylla isobutylamides with the house mosquito, Culex pipiens and the freshwater snail, Biomphalaria glabratus (Tables II, III). Both species are of medical importance.
