<strong>The</strong> <strong>Practical</strong> <strong>Applications</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vitamin</strong> <strong>D5</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Four</strong> <strong>other</strong><br />
<strong>chemicals</strong><br />
<strong>Vitamin</strong> <strong>D5</strong><br />
<strong>Vitamin</strong> <strong>D5</strong>, a member <strong>of</strong> the family <strong>Vitamin</strong> D which was discovered by Edward Mellanby in 1919<br />
during his classic experiments with rickets, is about 180-fold less active than vitamin D3, in<br />
calcification <strong>of</strong> rachitic cartilage <strong>and</strong> about 100- to 200-fold less active in induction <strong>of</strong> bone<br />
calcium mobilization. In stimulation <strong>of</strong> intestinal-calcium transport, vitamin <strong>D5</strong> is about 80 fold<br />
less active than vitamin D3.<br />
Dmsa<br />
Dmsa (Meso-2,3-Dimercaptosuccinic Acid) is used as a chelating agent <strong>and</strong> masking agent for<br />
cadmium in EDTA titration <strong>of</strong> zinc. Detoxification <strong>of</strong> heavy metal.<br />
Blattellaquinone<br />
Butanoicacid, 3-methyl-, (3,6-dioxo-1,4-cyclohexadien-1-yl)methyl ester, also known as<br />
blattellaquinone, gentisyl quinone isovalerate, is a sex pheromone secreted by German female<br />
cockroach to attract male cockroaches.<br />
Deoxynivalenol<br />
Vomitoxin is a type B trichothecene, an epoxy-sesquiterpenoid. This mycotoxin can induce<br />
vomiting, diarrhea, <strong>and</strong> weight loss as well as <strong>other</strong> physiological <strong>and</strong> toxicological effects. It<br />
inhibits protein biosynthesis, binds to peptidyl transferase, <strong>and</strong> inhibits the synthesis <strong>of</strong> RNA<br />
<strong>and</strong> DNA, contributing to immunotoxicity.<br />
Erythropoietin<br />
Produced by the kidneys,this glycoprotein is involved in red blood cell production. It has a<br />
predicted molecular mass <strong>of</strong> ~21 kDa but migrates at ~37 kDa on SDS-PAGE.
