Buformin (1-butylbiguanide) is an oral antidiabetic drug of the biguanide class. It also inhibits the synthesis of glucose by the liver. Buformin delays absorption of glucose from the gastrointestinal tract increases insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake
Chlorhexidine-d8 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of chlorhexidine by GC- or LC-MS. Chlorhexidine is a bis(biguanide) antimicrobial disinfectant and antiseptic agent. It inhibits growth of clinical methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates (MIC90 = 4 μg ml). It is also active against canine isolates of MRSA, methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant S. pseudintermedius (MRSP), and methicillin-susceptible S. pseudintermedius (MSSP; MIC90s = 4, 2, 2, and 1 mg L, respectively). Chlorhexidine inhibits growth of E. faecium strains (MICs = 1.2-19.6 μg ml) and C. albicans (MIC = 5.15 μg ml). It generates cations that bind to and destabilize the bacterial cell wall to induce death.6 Chlorhexidine also completely inhibits matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 when used at concentrations of 0.0001 and 0.002%, respectively, in a gelatin degradation assay. Formulations containing chlorhexidine have been used in antisept......
