Conditions:
Hydroxystilbamidine is an organic antimonal derivative with antiprotazoal, antifungal and anticancer activity. It was used in the treatment of blastomicosis and leishmaniasis. Moreover, hydroxystilbamidine (FluoroGold) is used as a tracer for neurons.

Conditions:
Diphenylpyraline is an antihistamine that prevents but does not reverse, responses mediated by histamine alone. Diphenylpyraline antagonizes most of the pharmacological effects of histamine, including urticaria and pruritus. Also, diphenylpyraline may exhibit anticholinergic actions (as do most of the antihistamines) and may thus provide a drying effect on the nasal mucosa. Antihistamines such as diphenylpyraline used in the treatment of allergy act by competing with histamine for H1-receptor sites on effector cells. This reduces the effects of histamine, leading to a temporary reduction of allergy symptoms.

Acetrizoic acid (trade names Gastrografina, Urografina in Portugal) is a palatable lemon-flavored water-soluble iodinated radiopaque X-ray contrast medium for oral or rectal administration only. Acetrizoic acid is indicated for radiographic examination of segments of the gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, proximal small intestine, and colon). The preparation is particularly indicated when a more viscous agent such as barium sulfate, which is not water-soluble, is not feasible or is potentially dangerous. Administration of hypertonic Gastrografin solutions may lead to hypovolemia and hypotension due to fluid loss from the intestine.

CHEMICAL (ABSOLUTE)
Conditions:
Aminopterin is a synthetic derivative of pterins with antineoplastic and immunosuppressive properties. As a folate analog, aminopterin competes for the folate binding site of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, thereby blocking tetrahydrofolate synthesis, and resulting in depletion of nucleotide precursors and inhibition of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis. Aminopterin was marketed by Lederle Laboratories (Pearl River, New York) in the United States from 1953 to 1964 for the indication of pediatric leukemia. The closely related antifolate methotrexate was simultaneously marketed by the company during the same period. Aminopterin was discontinued by Lederle Laboratories in favor of methotrexate due to manufacturing difficulties of the former. During the period Aminopterin was marketed, the agent was used off-label to safely treat over 4,000 patients with psoriasis in the United States, producing dramatic clearing of lesions. The use of aminopterin in cancer treatment was supplanted in the 1950s by methotrexate due to the latter's better therapeutic index in a rodent tumor model. Now in a more pure preparation and supported by laboratory evidence of superior tumor cell uptake in vitro, aminopterin is being investigated in clinical trials in leukemia as a potentially superior antifolate to methotrexate.

Conditions:
Propoxycaine hydrochloride is a local anesthetic of the ester type that has a rapid onset of action and a longer duration of action than procaine hydrochloride. Propoxycaine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of propoxycaine, a para-aminobenzoic acid ester. Propoxycaine binds to and inhibits voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby inhibiting the ionic flux required for the initiation and conduction of impulses. This results in a loss of sensation.

Chromate ion CR-51 is a radioactive chromium 51 in the form of sterile, nonpyrogenic aqueous solution of sodium chromate. It is a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical for intravenous administration. This agent provides Chromium 51 decays by electron capture and gamma emission with a physical half-life of 27.7 days. It is indicated for use in determining red blood cell volume or mass, studying red blood cell survival time (in conditions such as hemolytic anemia), and evaluating blood loss. No adverse reactions specifically attributable to Chromate ion CR-51 injection have been reported.
