Colchicine and its derivatives are used in the laboratory for cytologic studies to arrest cell division in mid-metaphase by disrupting the mitotic spindle fibers. Clinically, it is used to provide relief from acute attacks of gout and in conjunction with uricosuric agents(probenecid or sulfinpyrazone) and xanthine oxidase inhibitors(allopurinol) prophylactically to prevent acute attacks. 3, record 1, English, - colchicine

Cuando se aplica durante la mitosis, los cromosomas son incapaces de separarse durante la anafase. Esta propiedad se utiliza para duplicar el número de cromosomas. También se emplea para interrumpir la mitosis en la metafase, estado en el que los cariotipos se visualizan con mayor facilidad. 4, record 1, Spanish, - colchicina

Ammonium molybdate is... a representative soluble molybdenum compound. Molybdenum is an essential element for the function of nitrogenase in plants and as a cofactor for enzymes including xanthine oxidoreductase, aldehyde oxidase, and sulfide oxidase in animals.(NH4) 6Mo7O24 is the form of ammonium molybdate frequently sold because it is easily prepared at high purity by crystallization from aqueous solutions of MoO3 containing excess NH3.... AM is used for preparing specialty catalysts and wherever a highly aqueous soluble form of molybdate, free of metal cations, is required. AM is also used as an analytical reagent and as a catalyst for dehydrogenation and desulfurization in petroleum and coal technology... 10, record 2, English, - hexaammonium%20heptamolybdate
