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.

Prezatide is a tripeptide molecule consisiting of lysine, glycine and histidine, also known as GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine), that forms a complex with copper ions. Prezatide is used in cosmetic products (skin and hair) and is known help wound healing. Prezatide increases the synthesis and deposition of type I collagen and glycosaminoglycan. It is thought to play a role in the modulation of tissue remodeling by increases the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2, as well as tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 and -2. Prezatide has antioxidant activity due to its ability to supply copper for superoxide dismutase and anti-inflammatory ability due to the blockage the of iron (Fe2+) release during injury.

Melengestrol is a steroidal progestin and antineoplastic agent which was never marketed. An acylated derivative, melengestrol acetate, is used as a growth promoter in animals. Melengestrol acetate (MGA) is one of six steroidal hormone growth promoters approved for use in Canada and USA. These products are used to improve growth rate and feed efficiency, as well as to suppress estrus in beef heifers (CFIA 2008). They are not approved for use in any species other than beef cattle meant for slaughter. MGA is the only drug of its kind that is administered in animal feed, and its labelled dose in Canada is 0.4mg per heifer per day (CFIA 2008). A mandatory withdrawal of 2 days before slaughter is applied to any animal that is administered MGA.
