Label	Id	Description
Cetacea	D002591	[An order of wholly aquatic MAMMALS occurring in all the OCEANS and adjoining seas of the world, as well as in certain river systems. They feed generally on FISHES, cephalopods, and crustaceans. Most are gregarious and most have a relatively long period of parental care and maturation. Included are DOLPHINS; PORPOISES; and WHALES. (From Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, pp969-70)]
Cetomacrogol	D002592	[Non-ionic surfactant of the polyethylene glycol family. It is used as a solubilizer and emulsifying agent in foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, often as an ointment base, and also as a research tool.]
Polyethylene Glycols	D011092	[Polymers of ETHYLENE OXIDE and water, and their ethers. They vary in consistency from liquid to solid depending on the molecular weight indicated by a number following the name. They are used as SURFACTANTS, dispersing agents, solvents, ointment and suppository bases, vehicles, and tablet excipients. Some specific groups are NONOXYNOLS, OCTOXYNOLS, and POLOXAMERS.]
Cetrimonium Compounds	D002593	[Cetyltrimethylammonium compounds that have cationic detergent, antiseptic, and disinfectant activities. They are used in pharmaceuticals, foods, and cosmetics as preservatives; on skin, mucous membranes, etc., as antiseptics or cleansers, and also as emulsifiers. These compounds are toxic when used orally due to neuromuscular blockade.]
Cetylpyridinium	D002594	[Cationic bactericidal surfactant used as a topical antiseptic for skin, wounds, mucous membranes, instruments, etc.; and also as a component in mouthwash and lozenges.]
Pyridinium Compounds	D011726	[Derivatives of PYRIDINE containing a cation C5H5NH or radical C5H6N.]
Cevanes	D002595	[Structurally-related alkaloids that contain the cevane carbon backbone.]
Heterocyclic Compounds, 4 or More Rings	D006576	[A class of heterocyclic compounds that include four or more fused rings. Both aromatic or non-aromatic ring structures are included in this category.]
Veratrum Alkaloids	D014704	[Alkaloids with powerful hypotensive effects isolated from American or European Hellebore (Veratrum viride Ait. Liliaceae and Veratrum album L. Liliaceae). They increase cholinergic and decrease adrenergic tone with appropriate side effects and at higher doses depress respiration and produce cardiac arrhythmias; only the ester alkaloids have been used as hypotensive agents in specific instances. They have been generally replaced by drugs with fewer adverse effects.]
Chad	D002596	[A republic in central Africa, east of NIGER, west of SUDAN and south of LIBYA. Its capital is N'Djamena.]
Chaetomium	D002597	[A genus of ascomycetous fungi of the family Chaetomiaceae, order SORDARIALES. Many members are cellulolytic and some mycotoxic. They occur naturally on paper and cotton fabric.]
Sordariales	D020037	[An order of fungi in the phylum ASCOMYCOTA that includes many valuable experimental organisms. There are eight families and very few anamorphic forms.]
Chagas Cardiomyopathy	D002598	[A disease of the CARDIAC MUSCLE developed subsequent to the initial protozoan infection by TRYPANOSOMA CRUZI. After infection, less than 10% develop acute illness such as MYOCARDITIS (mostly in children). The disease then enters a latent phase without clinical symptoms until about 20 years later. Myocardial symptoms of advanced CHAGAS DISEASE include conduction defects (HEART BLOCK) and CARDIOMEGALY.]
Chagas Disease	D014355	[Infection with the protozoan parasite TRYPANOSOMA CRUZI, a form of TRYPANOSOMIASIS endemic in Central and South America. It is named after the Brazilian physician Carlos Chagas, who discovered the parasite. Infection by the parasite (positive serologic result only) is distinguished from the clinical manifestations that develop years later, such as destruction of PARASYMPATHETIC GANGLIA; CHAGAS CARDIOMYOPATHY; and dysfunction of the ESOPHAGUS or COLON.]
Chalcone	D002599	[An aromatic KETONE that forms the core molecule of CHALCONES.]
Chalcones	D047188	[Derivatives of CHALCONE that are important intermediates in the formation of FLAVONOIDS with anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor properties., Compounds based on oxidized CHALCONE.]
2-oxo-4-hydroxy-4-carboxy--5-ureidoimidazoline	C510198
2-oxo-4-hydroxy-4-carboxy--5-ureidoimidazoline decarboxylase, mouse	C510199
calponin 2 protein, zebrafish	C510190
reducing-end xylose-releasing exo-oligoxylanase, Bacillus halodurans	C510191
