Absolute configuration

Absolute configuration refers to the spatial arrangement of atoms within a chiral molecular entity (or group) and its resultant stereochemical description. Epimer and Absolute configuration are stereochemistry.

See Epimer and Absolute configuration

Anomer

In carbohydrate chemistry, a pair of anomers is a pair of near-identical stereoisomers or diastereomers that differ at only the anomeric carbon, the carbon atom that bears the aldehyde or ketone functional group in the sugar's open-chain form. Epimer and anomer are stereochemistry.

See Epimer and Anomer

Condensed tannin

Condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins, polyflavonoid tannins, catechol-type tannins, pyrocatecollic type tannins, non-hydrolyzable tannins or flavolans) are polymers formed by the condensation of flavans.

See Epimer and Condensed tannin

Diastereomer

In stereochemistry, diastereomers (sometimes called diastereoisomers) are a type of stereoisomer. Epimer and diastereomer are stereochemistry.

See Epimer and Diastereomer

Doxorubicin

Doxorubicin, sold under the brand name Adriamycin among others, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat cancer.

See Epimer and Doxorubicin

Enantiomer

In chemistry, an enantiomer (/ɪˈnænti.əmər, ɛ-, -oʊ-/ ''ih-NAN-tee-ə-mər''; from Ancient Greek ἐναντίος (enantíos) 'opposite', and μέρος (méros) 'part') – also called optical isomer, antipode, or optical antipode – is one of two stereoisomers that are nonsuperposable onto their own mirror image. Epimer and enantiomer are stereochemistry.

See Epimer and Enantiomer

Epi-Inositol

Epi-Inositol is one of the stereoisomers of inositol.

See Epimer and Epi-Inositol

Epibatidine

Epibatidine is a chlorinated alkaloid that is secreted by the Ecuadoran frog Epipedobates anthonyi and poison dart frogs from the Ameerega genus.

See Epimer and Epibatidine

Epirubicin

Epirubicin is an anthracycline drug used for chemotherapy.

See Epimer and Epirubicin

Galactose

Galactose (galacto- + -ose, "milk sugar"), sometimes abbreviated Gal, is a monosaccharide sugar that is about as sweet as glucose, and about 65% as sweet as sucrose.

See Epimer and Galactose

Glucose

Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula.

See Epimer and Glucose

Inositol

In biochemistry, medicine, and related sciences, inositol generally refers to myo-inositol (formerly meso-inositol), the most important stereoisomer of the chemical compound cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol.

See Epimer and Inositol

Lipoxin

A lipoxin (LX or Lx), an acronym for lipoxygenase interaction product, is a bioactive autacoid metabolite of arachidonic acid made by various cell types.

See Epimer and Lipoxin

Mannose

Mannose is a sugar monomer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates.

See Epimer and Mannose

Methylphenidate

Methylphenidate, sold under the brand names Ritalin and Concerta among others, is a potent central nervous system (CNS) stimulant used medically to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and, to a lesser extent, narcolepsy.

See Epimer and Methylphenidate

N-Acetylglucosamine

N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is an amide derivative of the monosaccharide glucose.

See Epimer and N-Acetylglucosamine

N-Acetylmannosamine

N-Acetylmannosamine is a hexosamine monosaccharide.

See Epimer and N-Acetylmannosamine

RENBP

N-acylglucosamine 2-epimerase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RENBP gene.

See Epimer and RENBP

Stereocenter

In stereochemistry, a stereocenter of a molecule is an atom (center), axis or plane that is the focus of stereoisomerism; that is, when having at least three different groups bound to the stereocenter, interchanging any two different groups creates a new stereoisomer. Epimer and stereocenter are stereochemistry.

See Epimer and Stereocenter

Stereochemistry

Stereochemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, involves the study of the relative spatial arrangement of atoms that form the structure of molecules and their manipulation.

See Epimer and Stereochemistry

Tesofensine

Tesofensine (NS2330) is a serotonin–noradrenaline–dopamine reuptake inhibitor from the phenyltropane family of drugs, which is being developed for the treatment of obesity.

See Epimer and Tesofensine
