ginkgolic acid [Supplementary Concept]
Date introduced: June 16, 1998
Hydroxybenzoates
Benzoate derivatives substituted by one or more hydroxy groups in any position on the benzene ring.
Year introduced: 2013
Salicylates
The salts or esters of salicylic acids, or salicylate esters of an organic acid. Some of these have analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory activities by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
Year introduced: 1963
Phenols
Benzene derivatives that include one or more hydroxyl groups attached to the ring structure.
Organic Chemicals
A broad class of substances containing carbon and its derivatives. Many of these chemicals will frequently contain hydrogen with or without oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. They exist in either carbon chain or carbon ring form.
Year introduced: 1998
Hydroxy Acids
Organic compounds containing both the hydroxyl and carboxyl radicals.
Year introduced: 1975
Hydrocarbons, Cyclic
Organic compounds composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen forming a closed ring that may be either alicyclic or aromatic.
Hydrocarbons, Aromatic
Organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen in the form of an unsaturated, usually hexagonal ring structure. The compounds can be single ring, or double, triple, or multiple fused rings.
Hydrocarbons
Organic compounds that primarily contain carbon and hydrogen atoms with the carbon atoms forming a linear or circular structure.
Carboxylic Acids
Organic compounds containing the carboxy group (-COOH). This group of compounds includes amino acids and fatty acids. Carboxylic acids can be saturated, unsaturated, or aromatic.
Year introduced: 1973(1971)
Benzoates
Derivatives of BENZOIC ACID. Included under this heading are a broad variety of acid forms, salts, esters, and amides that contain the carboxybenzene structure.
Benzene Derivatives
Organic compounds derived from BENZENE.
Year introduced: 1968
Acids, Carbocyclic
Carboxylic acids that have a homocyclic ring structure in which all the ring atoms are carbon.
