Estriol acetate benzoate is a semisynthetic, steroidal estrogen. Estriol benzoate diacetate is reported as an ingredient of Holin in Japan. It is an estrogen receptor agonist.

Testosterone acetate, a testosterone ester, is an androgen. It is a steroid lipid molecule considered to be practically insoluble (in water) and basic. It is an anabolic steroid and testosterone prodrug. Testosterone acetate has a faster rate of absorption in the body then other esters. In combination with two other testosterone esters, testosterone valerate and testosterone undecanoate, it is a part of Deposterona, an injectable veterinary blend steroid preparation marketed in Mexico. With its blend of slow and fast-acting esters, Deposterona is essentially a low dosed alternative to Sustanon and is used primarily to treat impotence, weakness, fatigue, and hypogonadism in male breeding animals (cows, pigs, canines, and sheep), and also as a general protein-sparing anabolic. Testosterone acetate is classified as a Schedule III drug by the United States Drug Enforcement Agency and is only legal with a prescription due to his potential for misuse and abuse.

Clostebol acetate (4-chloro-testosterone acetate), an anabolic androgenic agent used for fattening purposes in cattle breeding or applied topically in ophthalmological and dermatological treatments. The European Commission has prohibited its use since 1986.

Chloroprednisone acetate is the 21-acetate ester of chloroprednisone. Chloroprednisone acetate was sold under the brand name Topilan as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Nomegestrol acetate (NOMAC) is a 19-norprogesterone derivative with high biological activity at the progesterone receptor, a weak anti-androgenic effect, but with no binding to estrogen, glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid receptors. Nomegestrol has been developed by the Monaco-based company Théramex SAM (a Teva subsidiary). Nomegestrol acetate has been used successfully for the treatment of some gynaecological disorders (menstrual disturbances, dysmenorrhoea, premenstrual syndrome) and as a component of hormone replacement therapy in combination with estradiol for the relief of menopausal symptoms; it has been approved in Europe as monotherapy for the treatment of the menopausal syndrome, uterine diseases and menorrhagia, and in combination with an estrogen for the treatment of menopausal symptoms. Nomegestrol acetate in combination with estradiol is used as an oral contraceptive.

Cyproterone acetate is a steroid drug which was developed by Schering A.G (now Bayer). Cyproterone acetate was approved in Canada, Asia, Latin America and Europe for the treatment of sever acne under the name Diane-35 (ethinyl estradiol) and its mechanism of action in this condition is explained by competitive inhibition of androgen receptor AR. In Canada cyproterone acetate is widely used as a contraceptive, however its usage is associated with liver toxicity and clots formation. In the UK the drug is marketed for the treatment of prostate cancer (Cyproterone acetate brand name).

Cellacefate is a commonly used polymer phthalate in the formulation of pharmaceuticals, such as the enteric coating of tablets or capsules and for controlled release formulations. Cellacefate's use in enteric coatings allows tablets to remain intact in the unfavorable gastric acid secretion of the stomach, but dissolve in the more basic areas of the duodenum, thus protecting the stomach from ulceration or allowing greater absorption form the duodenum. Cellacefate is a reaction product of phthalic anhydride and a partial acetate ester of cellulose.

Segesterone acetate (elcometrine), a progestin, is sold in combination with ethinyl estradiol under the brand name Annovera. Annovera is indicated for use by females of reproductive potential to prevent pregnancy. Segesterone acetate acts as an agonist of the progesterone receptor and it doesn’t possess estrogenic, androgenic, antiandrogenic, or antimineralocorticoid activity.

Eslicarbazepine acetate is a third generation antiepileptic drug indicated for the treatment of partial-onset seizures. Structurally, it belongs to the dibenzazepine family and is closely related to carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine. Eslicarbazepine acetate was developed by scientists in Portugal. Its main mechanism of action is by blocking the voltage-gated sodium channel. Eslicarbazepine acetate is a pro-drug that is rapidly metabolized almost exclusively into eslicarbazepine (S-licarbazepine), the biologically active drug. It has a favorable pharmacokinetic and drug-drug interaction profile. However, it may induce the metabolism of oral contraceptives and should be used with caution in females of child-bearing age.
