Binary chemical weapon
Binary chemical weapons or munitions are chemical weapons which contain the toxic agent in its active state as chemical precursors that are significantly less toxic than the agent.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Binary chemical weapon
Biochemistry
Biochemistry or biological chemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Biochemistry
Chemical compound
A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules (or molecular entities) containing atoms from more than one chemical element held together by chemical bonds.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Chemical compound
Chemical reaction
A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Chemical reaction
Chemical synthesis
Chemical synthesis (chemical combination) is the artificial execution of chemical reactions to obtain one or several products.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Chemical synthesis
Chemistry
Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Chemistry
DEA list of chemicals
The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) maintains lists regarding the classification of illicit drugs (see DEA Schedules).

Derivative (chemistry)
In chemistry, a derivative is a compound that is derived from a similar compound by a chemical reaction.

European law on drug precursors
European law on illicit drug precursors.

Infrared spectroscopy
Infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy or vibrational spectroscopy) is the measurement of the interaction of infrared radiation with matter by absorption, emission, or reflection.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Infrared spectroscopy
In biochemistry, a metabolic pathway is a linked series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell. Precursor (chemistry) and metabolic pathway are Metabolism.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Metabolic pathway
Monoamine precursor
Monoamine precursors are precursors of monoamines and monoamine neurotransmitters in the body. Precursor (chemistry) and monoamine precursor are biochemistry stubs.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Monoamine precursor
Prodrug
A prodrug is a pharmacologically inactive medication or compound that, after intake, is metabolized (i.e., converted within the body) into a pharmacologically active drug.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Prodrug
Protein precursor
A protein precursor, also called a pro-protein or pro-peptide, is an inactive protein (or peptide) that can be turned into an active form by post-translational modification, such as breaking off a piece of the molecule or adding on another molecule.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Protein precursor
Raman spectroscopy
Raman spectroscopy (named after physicist C. V. Raman) is a spectroscopic technique typically used to determine vibrational modes of molecules, although rotational and other low-frequency modes of systems may also be observed.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Raman spectroscopy
Reagent
In chemistry, a reagent or analytical reagent is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or test if one occurs.
See Precursor (chemistry) and Reagent
United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances
The United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988 is one of three major drug control treaties currently in force.
