Medical Definition of Cycloparaffins
1. Alicyclic hydrocarbons in which three or more of the carbon atoms in each molecule are united in a ring structure and each of the ring carbon atoms is joined to two hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups. The simplest members are cyclopropane (c3h6), cyclobutane (c4h8), cyclohexane (c6h12), and derivatives of these such as methylcyclohexane (c6h11ch3). (12 Dec 1998)
