Oseltamivir Phosphate is the phosphate salt of oseltamivir, a synthetic derivative prodrug of ethyl ester with antiviral activity. By blocking neuraminidases on the surfaces of influenza viruses, oseltamivir interferes with host cell release of complete viral particles.
Tetracycline Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of tetracycline, a broad-spectrum naphthacene antibiotic produced semisynthetically from chlortetracycline, an antibiotic isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces aureofaciens. In bacteria, tetracycline blocks binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and bacterial cell growth. Because naturally fluorescing tetracycline binds to newly formed bone at the bone/osteoid interface, tetracycline-labeling of bone and fluorescence microscopy may be used to perform bone histomorphometry.
Human Insulin, also known as Regular Insulin, is a short-acting form of insulin used for the treatment of hyperglycemia caused by Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. Human insulin is produced by recombinant DNA technology and is identical to endogenously produced insulin. Typically prescribed for the management of diabetes mellitus, insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreas that promotes glucose metabolism. Insulin is released from the pancreas following a meal to promote the uptake of glucose from the blood into internal organs and tissues such as the liver, fat cells, and skeletal muscle. Absorption of glucose into cells allows for its transformation into glycogen or fat for storage. Insulin also inhibits hepatic glucose production, enhances protein synthesis, and inhibits lipolysis and proteolysis among many other functions. Insulin is an important treatment in the management of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) which is caused by an autoimmune reaction that destroys the beta cells of the pancreas, resulting in the body not being able to produce or synthesize the insulin needed to manage circulating blood sugar levels. As a result, people with T1D rely primarily on exogenous forms of insulin to lower glucose levels in the blood. Insulin is also used in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), another form of diabetes mellitus that is a slowly progressing metabolic disorder caused by a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors that promote chronically elevated blood sugar levels. Without treatment or improvement in non-pharmacological measures such as diet and exercise to lower blood glucose, high blood sugar eventually causes cellular resistance to endogenous insulin, and in the long term, damage to pancreatic islet cells. Insulin is typically prescribed later in the course of T2D, after trying several oral medications such as [DB00331], [DB01120], or [DB01261] have been tried, when sufficient damage has been caused to pancreatic cells that the body is no longer able to produce insulin on its own. Marketed as the brand name product Humulin R or Novolin R, human insulin begins to exert its effects within 30 minutes of subcutaneous administration, while peak levels occur 3-4 hours after administration. Due to its quick onset of action, human insulin is considered "bolus insulin" as it provides high levels of insulin in a short period of time to mimic the release of endogenous insulin from the pancreas after meals. Bolus insulin is often combined with once daily, long-acting "basal insulin" such as [DB01307], [DB09564], and [DB00047] to provide low concentrations of background insulin that can keep blood sugar stable between meals or overnight. Use of basal and bolus insulin together is intended to mimic the pancreas' production of endogenous insulin, with a goal of avoiding any periods of hypoglycemia. Human insulin is also available in an inhalable form, intended to be used as a bolus meal-time insulin. Exubera was the first inhaled insulin available on the market and was developed by Inhale Therapeutics (later named Nektar Therapeutics). Unfortunately, limited uptake by physicians and patients, poor sales, bulky packaging, and concerns over the possible impact on lung cancer development resulted in Exubera products being withdrawn from the US markets. Exubera was followed by Afrezza, a monomeric inhaled insulin developed by Mannkind Corporation, which received FDA approval in 2016. While still available in the US, Afrezza has had similar concerns associated with its use, and had an FDA "black box" warning added to it to warn about use in patients with chronic lung disease. Afrezza does not currently have Health Canada or European Medicines Agency approval for marketing in Canada or the EU. Human Insulin is a 51 residue peptide hormone produced by recombinant DNA technology by inserting the human insulin gene into Escherichia coli bacteria or Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The structure is identical to native human insulin, with two amino acid chains covalently linked by disulfide bonds. Human insulin is also available in an intermediate-acting form as NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) as the marketed products Novolin N and Humulin N. NPH insulin is provided as a crystalline suspension of insulin with protamine and zinc, resulting in an onset of action in 1 to 3 hours, duration of action up to 24 hours, and peak action from 6 to 8 hours. Due to the added crystals, NPH insulin is typically cloudy when compared to other forms of insulin and has a neutral pH. Without an adequate supply of insulin to promote absorption of glucose from the bloodstream, blood sugar levels can climb to dangerously high levels and can result in symptoms such as fatigue, headache, blurred vision, and increased thirst. If left untreated, the body starts to break down fat, instead of glucose, for energy which results in a build-up of ketone acids in the blood and a syndrome called ketoacidosis, which is a life-threatening medical emergency. In the long term, elevated blood sugar levels increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetic neuropathy.
Insulin glargine is a long-acting form of insulin used for the treatment of hyperglycemia caused by Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. Insulin is typically prescribed for the management of diabetes mellitus to mimic the activity of endogenously produced human insulin, a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreas that promotes glucose metabolism. Insulin is released from the pancreas following a meal to promote the uptake of glucose from the blood into internal organs and tissues such as the liver, fat cells, and skeletal muscle. Absorption of glucose into cells allows for its transformation into glycogen or fat for storage. Insulin also inhibits hepatic glucose production, enhances protein synthesis, and inhibits lipolysis and proteolysis. Insulin is an important treatment in the management of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), which is caused by an autoimmune reaction that destroys the beta cells of the pancreas, resulting in the body not being able to produce or synthesize the insulin needed to manage circulating blood sugar levels. As a result, people with T1D rely primarily on exogenous forms of insulin, such as insulin glargine, to lower glucose levels in the blood. Insulin is also used in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), another form of diabetes mellitus that is a slowly progressing metabolic disorder caused by a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors that promote chronically elevated blood sugar levels. Without treatment or improvement in non-pharmacological measures such as diet and exercise to lower blood glucose, high blood sugar eventually causes cellular resistance to endogenous insulin, and in the long term, damage to pancreatic islet cells. Insulin is typically prescribed later in the course of T2D, after several oral medications such as [DB00331], [DB01120], or [DB01261] have been tried, when sufficient damage has been caused to pancreatic cells that the body is no longer able to produce insulin on its own. Available as the brand name product Lantus, insulin glargine has a duration of action up to 24 hours allowing for once-daily dosing, typically at bedtime. Due to its duration of action, Lantus is considered "basal insulin" as it provides low concentrations of background insulin that can keep blood sugar stable between meals or overnight. Basal insulin is often combined with short-acting "bolus insulin" such as [DB00046], [DB01309], and [DB01306] to provide higher doses of insulin that are required following meals. Use of basal and bolus insulin together is intended to mimic the pancreas' production of endogenous insulin, with a goal of avoiding any periods of hypoglycemia. Insulin glargine is also available as the biosimilar, or "follow-on" product, Basaglar in the US and as Abasaglar in the EU. As of 2015, insulin glargine was reformulated by Sanofi as the product Toujeo in an extra-concentrated form containing 300IU/mL (compared to 100IU/mL contained in Lantus). Use of the higher concentrated Toujeo as compared to Lantus results in slightly different pharmacokinetics, with a later onset (up to 6 hours) and duration of action (up to 30 hours). In 2021, another biosimilar, Semglee (insulin glargine-yfgn), became the first interchangeable (with Lantus) biosimilar insulin to receive FDA approval. Insulin glargine is produced by recombinant DNA technology using a non-pathogenic laboratory strain of Escherichia coli (K12) as the production organism. Insulin glargine differs from endogenous human insulin by the replacement of an asparagine residue at position A21 of the A-chain with glycine and addition of two arginines to the C-terminus (positions B31 and 32) of the B-chain. The resulting protein is soluble at pH 4 and forms microprecipitates at physiological pH 7.4 allowing for the slow release of small amounts of insulin glargine, giving the drug a long duration of action and no pronounced peak concentration. Without an adequate supply of insulin to promote absorption of glucose from the bloodstream, blood sugar levels can climb to dangerously high levels and can result in symptoms such as fatigue, headache, blurred vision, and increased thirst. If left untreated, the body starts to break down fat, instead of glucose, for energy which results in a build-up of ketone acids in the blood and a syndrome called ketoacidosis, which is a life-threatening medical emergency. In the long term, elevated blood sugar levels increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetic neuropathy.
Neomycin Sulfate is the sulfate salt form of neomycin, a broad spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces fradiae with antibacterial activity. Neomycin is an antibiotic complex consisting of 3 components: the two isomeric components B and C are the active components, and neomycin A is the minor component. Neomycin irreversibly binds to the 16S rRNA and S12 protein of the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit. As a result, this agent interferes with the assembly of initiation complex between mRNA and the bacterial ribosome, thereby inhibiting the initiation of protein synthesis. In addition, neomycin induces misreading of the mRNA template and causes translational frameshift, thereby results in premature termination. This eventually leads to bacterial cell death.
Procaine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of procaine, a benzoic acid derivative with local anesthetic and antiarrhythmic properties. Procaine binds to and inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby inhibiting the ionic flux required for the initiation and conduction of impulses. In addition, this agent increases electrical excitation threshold, reduces rate of rise of action potential and slows nerve impulse propagation thereby causing loss of sensation.

Methyl jasmonate (abbreviated MeJA) is a volatile organic compound used in plant defense and many diverse developmental pathways such as seed germination, root growth, flowering, fruit ripening, and senescence. Methyl jasmonate is derived from jasmonic acid and the reaction is catalyzed by S-adenosyl-L-methionine:jasmonic acid carboxyl methyltransferase. Plants produce jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate in response to many biotic and abiotic stresses (in particular, herbivory and wounding), which build up in the damaged parts of the plant. The methyl jasmonate can be used to signal the original plant’s defense systems or it can be spread by physical contact or through the air to produce a defensive reaction in unharmed plants. The unharmed plants absorb the airborne MeJA through either the stomata or diffusion through the leaf cell cytoplasm. An herbivorous attack on a plant causes it to produce MeJA both for internal defense and for a signaling compound to other plants.
MeJA can induce the plant to produce multiple different types of defense chemicals such as phytoalexins (antimicrobial), nicotine or proteinase inhibitors. MeJA activates the proteinase inhibitor genes (a defensive reaction within plants) through a receptor-mediated signal transduction pathway. The proteinase inhibitors interfere with the insect digestive process and discourage the insect from eating the plant again.
MeJA has been used to stimulate traumatic resin duct production in Norway spruce trees. This can be used as a defense against many insect attackers as a type of vaccine.
MeJA is also a plant hormone involved in tendril (root) coiling, flowering, seed and fruit maturation. An increase of the hormone affects flowering time, flower morphology and the number of open flowers. MeJA induces ethylene-forming enzyme activity, which increases the amount of ethylene to the amount necessary for fruit maturation.
Increased amounts of methyl jasmonate in plant roots have shown to inhibit their growth. It is predicted that the higher amounts of MeJA activate previously unexpressed genes within the roots to cause the growth inhibition.
Methyl jasmonate induces cytochrome c release in the mitochondria of cancer cells, leading to cell death, but does not harm normal cells. To be specific, it can cause cell death in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells taken from human patients with this disease and then treated in tissue culture with methyl jasmonate. Treatment of isolated normal human blood lymphocytes did not result in cell death.
Ammonium laureth sulfate is an Ammonium salt of ethoxylated lauryl sulfate. Uses and applications include: cosmetics, hair and skin detergents, pharmaceutical creams and lotions.
Methylbenzodioxepinone, trade-named Calone, also known in the industry as “watermelon ketone” and "Calone" It is used to give the olfactory impression of a fresh seashore through the marine and ozone nuances. Calone is similar in structure of certain alicyclic C11-hydrocarbons like ectocarpene, excreted by some species of brown algae as pheromones.
Calone is an unusual odorant which has an intense “sea-breeze” note with slight floral overtones. It has been used as a scent component for its watery, fresh, ozone accords, and as a more dominant note in several perfumes of the marine trend.
Polyglycerylmethacrylate is a chemical substance that acts as an intermediate in the manufacture of various pharmaceuticals.

Amifostine is a drug that protects normal tissues from the toxic effects of radiation and chemotherapy. It is a pro-drug that is converted into its active form, a thiol called WR-1065, by alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme that is more abundant in normal cells than in cancer cells. WR-1065 has antioxidant properties that scavenge free radicals and prevent DNA damage. Amifostine has been used to treat various cancers, such as head and neck, ovarian, and lung cancer, as well as to prevent dry mouth in patients receiving radiation therapy.
Bortezomib is a type of anti-cancer drug that belongs to the class of proteasome inhibitors. It is used to treat multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma, two types of blood cancers. Bortezomib works by blocking the activity of proteasomes, which are cellular structures that break down damaged or unwanted proteins. By preventing the degradation of these proteins, bortezomib causes the accumulation of toxic substances in the cancer cells, leading to their death. Bortezomib is given by injection, either into a vein or under the skin. It is usually combined with other medications, such as steroids or chemotherapy drugs. Bortezomib can cause various side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, low blood counts, nerve damage, and shingles. Bortezomib has a unique chemical structure that contains boron, a metalloid element. Its chemical name is [(1R)-3-methyl-1-[[(2S)-1-oxo-3-phenyl-2[(pyrazinylcarbonyl)amino]propyl]amino]butyl]boronic acid and its molecular formula is C19H25BN4O4. Bortezomib has a molecular weight of 384.24 g/mol and a solubility of 3.3 to 3.8 mg/mL in water at pH 2 to 6.5. Bortezomib was approved for medical use in the United States in 2003 and in the European Union in 2004. Bortezomib is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.
Doxorubicin is an appropriate drug for anticancer therapy, as it has the ability to penetrate tissues effectively and intercalate with DNA base pairs, causing a variety of cytotoxic effects. Doxorubicin is commonly used in the treatment of a wide range of cancers, such as acute leukemia, some lymphomas, breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer and others. However, doxorubicin also has serious side effects, especially cardiotoxicity, which can cause irreversible damage to the heart and limit the dose of the drug. Therefore, different drug delivery systems, such as liposomes, hydrogels and nanoparticles, have been developed to reduce the toxicity and improve the efficacy of doxorubicin². In summary, doxorubicin is an effective anticancer drug, but requires careful and controlled use to avoid its adverse effects.
Morphine sulfate is an appropriate medication for the treatment of moderate to severe pain, especially in cancer patients¹. However, morphine sulfate does not have anticancer activity by itself, but acts as an opioid analgesic that relieves the suffering of patients². Morphine sulfate can have serious side effects, such as respiratory depression, drowsiness, constipation, nausea, vomiting, hypotension, dependence and tolerance¹²³. Therefore, its use must be careful and controlled by a doctor. Morphine sulfate is administered orally or by injection, depending on the dose and the pharmaceutical form¹⁴. In summary, morphine sulfate is an appropriate medication for the treatment of pain in cancer patients, but has no effect on the growth or progression of cancer.
Epirubicin Hydrochloride is an appropriate medication for anticancer therapy, as it is a type of chemotherapy drug called an anthracycline. It stops cells from copying their DNA and from making RNA and proteins. This slows or stops the growth of cancer cells and other rapidly dividing cells. Epirubicin hydrochloride is used in combination with other medications to treat breast cancer in patients who have had surgery to remove the tumor. Epirubicin hydrochloride is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer. Epirubicin hydrochloride has a different spatial orientation of the hydroxyl group at the 4' carbon of the sugar - it has the opposite chirality - which may account for its faster elimination and reduced toxicity. Epirubicin hydrochloride is preferred over doxorubicin, the most popular anthracycline, in some chemotherapy regimens as it appears to cause fewer side effects.
Placitaxel is a compound that is extracted from the bark of a tree called Pacific yew, and that has the ability to kill cancer cells by interfering with their division. It is used to treat various types of cancer, such as ovarian, breast, lung and head and neck cancer. Placitaxel is administered intravenously, usually in combination with other drugs, and has side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, muscle and joint pain, and decreased blood cells. Placitaxel is an effective and safe drug for the treatment of cancer, as long as the medical indications are followed and the necessary controls are performed.
Buprenorphine is an opioid drug that is used for the treatment of moderate or severe pain, and also for the dependence on other opioids such as morphine and heroin. Its analgesic effect is due to the fact that it acts as a partial agonist of the μ opioid receptors, which means that it only partially activates these receptors and prevents other more potent opioids from binding to them. This makes buprenorphine have a therapeutic ceiling, that is, that beyond a certain dose it does not increase its effect, and that it has less risk of overdose and respiratory depression than full agonist opioids.
Buprenorphine is appropriate in anticancer therapeutics, as long as it is administered with caution and under medical supervision. It can be used as an analgesic in patients with pain from cancer, especially if they have an opioid use disorder (OUD), as it helps them reduce the consumption of other substances and improve their quality of life . However, there are some aspects that must be taken into account when using buprenorphine in these cases:
In conclusion, buprenorphine is a useful and safe drug for the treatment of pain from cancer and OUD, but it requires an individualized evaluation and close monitoring by the medical team.
Mitoxantrone Hydrochloride is a chemotherapy drug used in the treatment of various forms of cancer. It is classified as an anthracenedione, which is a type of cytotoxic (cell-killing) agent. Mitoxantrone is particularly effective in treating certain types of cancers, and its use is typically reserved for cases where other treatments have proven ineffective or when a more aggressive approach is required. Here are some key points about Mitoxantrone Hydrochloride as an anti-cancer medicine:
Mechanism of Action: Mitoxantrone works by interfering with the DNA inside cancer cells. It inhibits the activity of topoisomerase II enzymes, which are crucial for DNA replication and repair. By doing so, it prevents cancer cells from dividing and proliferating, ultimately leading to their destruction.
Indications: Mitoxantrone is primarily used in the treatment of certain types of cancer, including:
Administration: Mitoxantrone is typically administered intravenously by a healthcare professional. The dosage and treatment schedule depend on the type of cancer being treated, the patient's overall health, and other factors. It is crucial to follow the prescribed treatment plan carefully.
Side Effects: Like many chemotherapy drugs, Mitoxantrone can cause various side effects, including:
Monitoring: Patients receiving Mitoxantrone are closely monitored during treatment, with regular blood tests to assess blood cell counts and cardiac function. Cardiac monitoring is essential to detect and manage any potential heart-related side effects.
Precautions: Mitoxantrone should be used with caution in patients with preexisting heart conditions, and the potential risks and benefits should be carefully evaluated by the healthcare team.
Combination Therapy: It is often used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs or treatments, and the choice of combination therapy varies depending on the specific cancer being treated.
Storage: Mitoxantrone should be stored and handled by trained healthcare professionals due to its cytotoxic nature.
It's important to note that Mitoxantrone Hydrochloride is a powerful medication with potentially severe side effects, and its use should only be undertaken under the guidance of an oncologist or medical specialist with experience in cancer treatment. The decision to use Mitoxantrone is made on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the type and stage of cancer, the patient's overall health, and other individual factors.
Cyclophosphamide is a chemotherapy drug widely used in the treatment of various types of cancer. It is classified as an alkylating agent, which means it works by interfering with the DNA in cancer cells, ultimately leading to cell death. Here are some key points about Cyclophosphamide as an anti-cancer medicine:
1. Mechanism of Action: Cyclophosphamide is a prodrug, which means it requires activation in the body to become effective. Once inside the body, it is metabolically converted into its active form, phosphoramide mustard. Phosphoramide mustard then binds to DNA and interferes with the cell's ability to replicate and divide. This disrupts the growth of cancer cells and leads to their destruction.
2. Indications: Cyclophosphamide is used in the treatment of a wide range of cancers, including:
3. Administration: Cyclophosphamide can be administered in different ways, including orally (in pill form) or intravenously (directly into the bloodstream). The specific dosing and administration method depend on the type of cancer being treated and the patient's overall health.
4. Side Effects: Cyclophosphamide, like many chemotherapy drugs, can cause various side effects, including:
5. Monitoring: Patients receiving cyclophosphamide are closely monitored during treatment, with regular blood tests to assess blood cell counts and kidney function. Monitoring for bladder toxicity is also important.
6. Precautions: Cyclophosphamide should be used with caution in patients with preexisting kidney issues or a history of bladder problems. Hydration and mesna (a medication that helps protect the bladder) may be used to reduce the risk of bladder irritation.
7. Combination Therapy: It is often used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs to enhance its effectiveness and reduce the risk of resistance.
8. Storage: Cyclophosphamide should be stored and handled by trained healthcare professionals due to its cytotoxic nature.
Cyclophosphamide is a potent chemotherapy agent that plays a crucial role in the treatment of various cancers. The choice to use Cyclophosphamide, as well as the specific treatment regimen and dosage, is determined by the oncologist or medical specialist based on the type and stage of cancer, the patient's overall health, and individual factors. It is important for patients to receive cyclophosphamide under the supervision of a healthcare team experienced in cancer treatment to manage its potential side effects and optimize its benefits.
Cyclophosphamide has the CAS Number 50-18-0
