Japanese term
体
Japanese to English
Medical
Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Perhaps this would be better suited as a Japanese monolingual question, but can anyone tell me definitively what it means when "体" is tacked on to the end of a chemical name?
eg. エチルエステル -> エチルエステル体
イソプロピルエステル -> イソプロピルエステル体
ピペリジン -> ピペリジン体 etc...
Thanks for any help.

substance(content)
体 has so many "true meanings". In fact, all of these entries are correct depending on how you use it. when refering to Pharmaceuticals, Example: "This antibotic substance comes in capsule form." The word "form" takes on a different meaning.
Amazing how 1 kanji can have so many meanings!!

You would say "when taking the pain relieving substance make sure to...."
you wouldn`t(I wouldn`t anyway)say, "when taking the pain relieving body make sure you...(sounds silly!)

: Substance, composition, ingredients, it really depends on what's involved.

Well, please look at the definition (2) of a Japanese dictionary below. Here it says 体 is a manifestation or realization of something with physical content and form. I guess it would be applicable to chemical substances. From my impression as a chemi-amateur, the word 体 may specifically refer to a sense of "something close to ~~~ in composition or appearance" or "in the form of something"..... Anyway, please consult any ones with specific knowledge on the subject or certain experiences of translating in that field. I only comment in view of the general public.

The first thing that has come up to my mind when I looked at the word 体 is those bio-terms learned at schools such as 小胞体、腎小体、葉緑体、ゴルジ体、etc. Translations of these specific terms may not help in this case, however, apparently the origin of the meanings of all these 体 is the same in Japanese as above. 小胞体 is literally "small alveolus embodiment".

Consequently, it could go without it when lined up along with other chemicals, however, it would be more precise to the original meaning. I'm really not sure of appropriateness of whether or not such an indication should actually be necessary in every occurance.

Note from asker:
| Thanks, mulberryfield. Alas, I couldn't find any relevant webidence to support that (I tried googling various combinations before posting this question). Do you think it just means the same thing with or without? |
| Thanks very much, mulberryfield. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me!! :-) |
