In finance, a futures contract is a standardized legal contract to buy or sell something at a predetermined price for delivery at a specified time in the future, between parties not yet known to each other. The asset transacted is usually a commodity or financial instrument. The predetermined price of the contract is known as the forward price or delivery price. The specified time in the future when delivery and payment occur is known as the delivery date. Because it derives its value from the value of the underlying asset, a futures contract is a derivative.
Sulforidazine a typical antipsychotic and a metabolite of thioridazine; it and mesoridazine are more potent than the parent compound, whose pharmacological effects are believed by some to be largely due to its metabolism into sulforidazine and mesoridazine.
SINDO is one of many semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods. It stands for symmetric orthogonalised INDO and was developed by K. Jug and coworkers. Like MINDO, it is a development of the INDO method. The main development is the inclusion of d orbitals for atoms of the second row of the periodic table. It performs better for hypervalent compounds than other semiempirical methods.

Gazzetta Chimica Italiana was an Italian peer-reviewed scientific journal in chemistry. It was established in 1871 by the Italian Chemical Society, but in 1998 publication ceased and it was merged with some other European chemistry-related journals, to form the European Journal of Organic Chemistry and the European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry.
The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering medicinal chemistry and published by Elsevier. It was established in 1966 as Chimica Therapeutica and obtained its current title in 1974. From 1974 to 1981 the journal was still subtitled as Chimica Therapeutica and from 1982 to 1986 the subtitle was Chimie Thérapeutique, indicating its French origin. And now it is the journal of the French Société de Chimie Thérapeutique.
The Revista Brasileira de Chímica was a peer-reviewed scientific journal of chemistry that was established in 1929 by the Sociedade Brasileira de Chímica. In 1932 the name changed to Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Química. Publication was suspended between December 1933 to January 1936 and ceased in 1951 because the Sociedade Brasileira de Química was incorporated in the Associação Brasileira de Química. With the founding of the second Sociedade Brasileira de Química, the publication of Química Nova in 1978 and the Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society in 1990 started. Química Nova is also subtitled as Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Química, indicating its historical origin.
