Sodium acetate C-11 (C-11 acetate) Injection is a radiopharmaceutical commonly used for clinical studies with positron emission tomography (PET). It is used as a PET radiotracer for imaging cancer cells via incorporation into intracellular phosphatidylcholine membrane microdomains in cancer cells. Positron emission tomography using carbon-11 acetate (AC-PET) may help find local or distant metastases from prostate cancer. C-11 acetate is taken up in proportion to fatty acid synthesis. It is also taken up proportionally to myocardial blood flow, and therefore myocardial oxygen consumption. In rodents, there is clearance from all organs except the pancreas within one hour. Tumor uptake was clearly visible in 30 minutes. In humans, more than 80% of tracer is cleared from normal tissues within 20 minutes.It is taken up in cancer within the prostate and prostate cancer metastases, however, it has been reported that increased uptake can be seen in hyperplastic and benign prostate tissues. No urinary excretion is seen. No toxic effects have been demonstrated. The ongoing clinical trial NCT01530269 is studying how this imaging test may help influence the choice and extent of initial treatments, and subsequent treatments of prostate cancer.

Aminomethylbenzoic acid (or p-aminomethylbenzoic acid, or PAMBA) an antifibrinolytic agent. This drug has been used for the treatment of internal hemorrhage during chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Bornyl acetate is the main volatile constituent in numerous conifer oils and some Chinese traditional herbs, which has displayed an anti-inflammatory effect. In addition was shown, that this compound had therapeutic potentials for the osteoarthritis and may be developed as a preventive agent for lung inflammatory diseases. In combination with 5-fluorouracil, bornyl acetate possesses the anticancer activity by inducing apoptosis, DNA fragmentation as well as G2/M cell cycle arrest.

Stearamine is an aliphatic amine intended for use in cosmetic formulations as antistatic agent. In cosmetics and personal care products, Lauramine and Stearamine have been used in hair preparations. Stearamine is also used as a corrosion-inhibiting boiler-water additive. Stearamine has antimicrobial properties. Stearylamine has been shown to prevent drug (lansoprazole) degradation and maintained drug stable in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). Stearamine is used as positive charge inducing agent in different pharmaceutical formulations. Thus, the presence of stearylamine reduced the permeability coefficient for the cationic species of the drugs by approximately an order of magnitude, but had no effect on the neutral species of the drugs. The efflux curves observed for both verapamil and prochlorperazine could be mathematically modeled by assuming that the primary influence of stearylamine was on the development of a positive surface charge density on the inner monolayer of the liposome. Taken in sum, these results indicate that stearylamine is effective at decreasing the leakage of cationic drugs from liposomes, and may prove to be a valuable component of liposomal drug formulations.
