### acid:

Lansoprazole
* are drugs.
* inhibits gastric acid secretion
  - the metabolism of theophylline
* is acid
  - stable when exposed to light for up to two months
* works by decreasing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

Lauric acid
* has the beneficial function of being formed into monolaurin in the body.
* is fatty acid
* medium chain fatty acid, found naturally in mother's milk.

Lipoteichoic acid
* are teichoic acids that are linked to the underlying cell membrane.
* mediates the bacterial attachment.

Lysophosphatidic acid
* decreases glutamate and glucose uptake by astrocytes.
* enhances contractility of isolated airway smooth muscle.
* induces necrosis and apoptosis in hippocampal neurons
  - urokinase secretion by ovarian cancer cells
* possesses dual action in cell proliferation.

Muratic acid
* can give a sever burn to skin or eyes.
* is technical grade hydrochloric acid that can be purchased at building supply stores.

### acid:

Nitric acid
* Most nitric acid is used in fertilizer as ammonium nitrate and in the manufacture of explosives.
* are dangerous and mercury is poisonous.
* can also be a product of incineration for energy production or waste disposal
  - be an environmental hazard in water systems and as NOx in air emissions
  - cause burns
* contributes to acid rain.
* dissolves it, though, to make silver nitrate.
* has a corrosive impact on marine life
  - many uses including industrial uses and fertilizers
* is absorbed quickly and can cause widespread damage to the body and death
  - chemical compounds
  - inorganic compounds
  - ionic compounds
  - liquids
  - toxic substances
* reddens it, and when the mixture is heated, oxalic acid is formed.
+ Silver, Properties, Chemical properties: Metals :: Chemical elements
  * It is not reactive. It does not dissolve in most acids. Nitric acid dissolves it, though, to make silver nitrate. It does react with strong oxidizing agents like potassium dichromate or potassium permanganate. It does not corrode easily. It only corrodes when there is hydrogen sulfide in the air. Then, it forms a black coating known as tarnish.

Nitrous acid
* deaminates a cytosine base to uracil which can base pair with adenine.
  - an unstable compound which is prepared just prior to use
  - chemical compounds
  - formed, but it reacts further with acid to make water and the nitrosyl cation
* reacts in various with all types of amines.

Orotic acid
* accumulates in the blood and is excreted in the urine.
* is an intermediate in pyrimidine metabolism
  - the synthesis of the pyrimidines

Oxyacid
* contain polyatomic anions such as nitrite, carbonate, etc.
* have the acidic proton attached to an oxygen atom.
* is acid

Palmitic acid
* is chemical compounds
  - the major fatty acid in palm oil
  - very common in animal fats
* saturated fatty acid, which has been shown to raise blood cholesterol.

Peracetic acid
* causes more rapid scission and produces more acid groups than peroxide.
* disinfectant produced by reacting hydrogen peroxide with acetic acid.
* is also reportedly sensitive to light
  - irritant to the eyes, skin, and mucous membranes
* more potent germicide than is hydrogen peroxide.
* very effective oxidant and disinfecting agent.

Perchloric acid
* can also form explosive mixtures with organic compounds
  - be dangerously reactive
  - leave explosive residues in a fume hood, duct system, or on a hood fan
* commonly used laboratory reagent.
* hazardous chemical which is covered by the rules of the preceding section.
  - an extremely dangerous, powerful oxidizer
  - very corrosive to all living tissue
* powerful oxidizing agent.
