? IUPAC nomenclature is a systematic way of naming organic chemical compounds. ... CAS registry numbers are unique numerical identifiers for chemical compounds, polymers, biological sequences and alloys. ... The Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System is used for the classification of drugs. ... PubChem is a database of chemical molecules . ... A chemical formula (also called molecular formula) is a concise way of expressing information about the atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound. ... The molecular mass of a substance (less accurately called molecular weight and abbreviated as MW) is the mass of one molecule of that substance, relative to the unified atomic mass unit u (equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12). ... In pharmacology, bioavailability is used to describe the fraction of an administered dose of medication that reaches the systemic circulation, one of the principal pharmacokinetic properties of drugs. ... Metabolism (from Greek μεταβολισμός metabolismos) is the biochemical modification of chemical compounds in living organisms and cells. ... The elimination half-life of a drug (or any xenobiotic agent) refers to the timecourse necessary for the quantity of the xenobiotic agent in the body (or plasma concentration) to be reduced to half of its original level through various elimination processes. ... Excretion is the biological process by which an organism chemically separates waste products from its body. ... The pregnancy category of a pharmaceutical agent is an assessment of the risk of fetal injury due to the pharmaceutical, if it is used as directed by the mother during pregnancy. ...

Oligomycins are macrolides created by Streptomyces that can be poisonous to other organisms. They have use as antibiotics. In addition, oligimycin inhibits ATP synthase, which is necessary for oxidative phosphoralation of ADP to ATP (energy production). The regulation of therapeutic goods, that is drugs and therapeutic devices, varies by jurisdiction. ... In pharmacology and toxicology, a route of administration is the path by which a drug, fluid, poison or other substance is brought into contact with the body 1. ... The macrolides are a group of drugs (typically antibiotics) whose activity stems from the presence of a macrolide ring, a large lactone ring to which one or more deoxy sugars, usually cladinose and desosamine, are attached. ... Streptomyces is a genus of Actinobacteria. ... This article is about the dangerous substance. ... An antibiotic is a drug that kills or slows the growth of bacteria. ...

Metabolic poisons (1132 words)
Oligomycin, an antibiotic, acts by binding ATP synthase in such a way as to block the proton channel.
That is the mechanism by which oligomycin inhibits oxidative phosphorylation.
Experimentally, oligomycin has no effect on state IV respiration, that is, it has no direct effect on electron transport or the chemiosmotic gradient.
Mechanism Responsible for Oligomycin-induced Occlusion of Na+ within Na/K-ATPase -- Arato-Oshima et al. 271 (41): 25604 ... (5617 words)
Oligomycin appeared to inhibit ouabain binding in a noncompetitive manner, and Na/K-ATPase isoforms with high and low sensitivities to ouabain were equally sensitive to oligomycin.
in the absence of oligomycin and 1.65 nmol/mg and 7 and 4.3 µ
Examination of the three-dimensional structure of oligomycin B showed that it has a protruding structure attached to a circular structure (43) and the protruding portion, the length and width of which are around 7Å and 2Å, respectively, appears favorable for interacting with the Na occlusion site of Na/K-ATPase embedded in the transmembrane segments.
