4-Methoxyamphetamine (Para-methoxyamphetamine, PMA) is a synthetic drug chemically similar to the recreational drug 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or "ecstasy") and often replaces MDMA in tablets. Numerous cases of intoxication have been documented and fatal cases involving PMA have been described. PMA induces toxicity at lower doses than MDMA. Clinical symptoms specific to PMA poisoning include life-threatening hyperthermia, breathing difficulties, tachycardia, rhabdomyolysis, and acute renal failure. In the scarce studies conducted in laboratory animals, PMA has shown cardiovascular alterations in dogs, hyperthermia on a high ambient temperature, hallucinogen properties, and disruption of operant behavior in rats. A slight motor activity stimulation, lower than that induced by MDMA, has also been reported. The effects of PMA on brain neurotransmission are similar to those of MDMA, thus, PMA increases serotonin (5-hydroxytryptophan or 5-HT) release from the synaptic terminal and blocks its reuptake; it also acts upon noradrenergic and dopaminergic terminals but in a lesser proportion, and can also delay the metabolism of these monoamines by inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO)
Geraniol is a dietary monoterpene alcohol that is found in the essential oils of aromatic plants. To date, experimental evidence supports the therapeutic or preventive effects of geraniol on different types of cancer, such as breast, lung, colon, prostate, pancreatic, and hepatic cancer, and has revealed the mechanistic basis for its pharmacological actions. In addition, geraniol sensitizes tumor cells to commonly used chemotherapy agents. Geraniol controls a variety of signaling molecules and pathways that represent tumor hallmarks; these actions of geraniol constrain the ability of tumor cells to acquire adaptive resistance against anticancer drugs. It has been shown that geraniol inhibits HMG-CoA reductase in most types of tumor cells, which raises the possibility that the reduced prenylation of small G-proteins, such as Ras or RhoA, accounts for the antitumor effects of geraniol. In addition to its use in various commercial products, including cosmetics and fine fragrances, geraniol exerts a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, such as anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-ulcer and neuroprotective activities. Geraniol is classified into the generally recognized-as-safe (GRAS) category by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States.

Methapyrilene is an antihistamine and anticholinergic of the pyridine chemical class which was developed in the early 1950s. It was sold under the trade names Co-Pyronil and Histadyl EC. It has relatively strong sedative effects, to the extent that its primary use was as a medication for insomnia rather than for its antihistamine action. Together with scopolamine, it was the main ingredient in Sominex, Nytol, and Sleep-Eze. It also provided the sedative component of Excedrin PM. Manufacturers voluntarily withdrew methapyrilineb drug products from the market in May and June 1979, when methapyrilene was demonstrated to cause liver cancer in rats when given chronically.
