Rapidly acting

White phosphorus, iacorporated ia sweet syrup, forms a useful bait for cockroaches. SiUcic acid, Si02 or H2Si02, very finely divided, is a rapidly acting desiccant that kills cockroaches, fleas, termites, and stored-grain pests by dehydration. 

Piperaquine, a bisquinoline, is a rapid acting blood schizontocide. The mode of action is unknown.

Ketamine (Ketalar) is a rapid-acting general anesthetic. It produces an anesthetic state characterized by profound analgesia, cardiovascular and respiratory stimulation, normal or enhanced skeletal muscle tone, and occasionally mild respiratory depression. Ketamine is used for diagnostic and surgical procedures that do not require relaxation of skeletal muscles, for induction of anesthesia before the administration of other anesthetic drugp, and as a supplement to other anesthetic drags. 

Benzalkoilium (Zephiran) is a rapid-acting preparation with a moderately long duration of action. It is active against bacteria and some viruses, fungi, and protozoa Benzalkonium solutions are bacteriostatic (slow or retard the multiplication of bacteria) or bactericidal (destroy bacteria), depending on their concentration. 

The determination of the velocity of individual panicles can be carried out in a number of ways. First, the particles in a given section of pipe can be isolated using two rapidly acting shutters or valves, and the quantity of particles trapped measured by removing the intervening section of pipe. This method was used by Segler 71, Clark ei aL and Miti.in It is. however, cumbersome, very time-consuming, and dependent upon... 

Currently, the most advanced form of insulin therapy is the insulin pump, also referred to as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). Using the short- or rapid-acting insulins only, these pumps are programmed to provide a slow release of small amounts of insulin as the basal portion of therapy, and then larger bolus doses are injected by the patient to account for the consumption of food. 

Three rapid-acting insulins have been approved in the United States lispro, aspart, and glulisine. Substitution of one or two amino acids in regular insulin results in the unique pharmacokinetic properties characteristic of these agents. Onset of action of rapid-acting insulins varies from 15 to 30 minutes, with peak effects occurring 1 to 2 hours following administration.

Immediate intense irritation. The systemic effect of CK is believed to arise from its conversion to AC in the body. In general, CK may be considered a rapid-acting chemical agent. 

The most widely used preservative remains benzalkonium chloride, which often is supplemented with disodium edetate. The benzalkonium chloride defined in the USP monograph is the quaternary ammonium compound alkylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride, in which the alkyl portion is composed of a mixture of chain lengths ranging from C8 to C16. This compound s popularity is based, despite its compatibility limitations, on its being the most effective and rapid-acting preservative with excellent chemical stability. It is stable over a wide pH range and does not... 

Rapid-acting channel-activating neurotoxin. It is obtained from the leaves and roots of various plants including wolfbane (Aconitum lycoctonum) and monkshood (Aconitum napellus). It is an off-white powder that is insoluble in water (0.03% ) but soluble in chloroform and benzene. Various salts have been reported. 

Very rapid-acting paralytic neurotoxin that binds to sodium channels of nerve and muscle cells depolarizing neurons by increasing the sodium channel permeability. It is obtained from South American poison-dart frogs (Phyllobates aurotaenia, Phyllobates terribilis). It is insoluble in water but soluble in hydrocarbons and other nonpolar solvents. The dried toxin can remain active for at least a year. However, it is relatively nonpersistent in the environment.
