Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (Aviglycine, AVG) is a plant regulator used on apples, pears, and ornamentals. In apples, it may delay fruit maturity, leading to benefits such as a reduction in pre-harvest fruit drop and improved fruit quality. In pears, AVG may help maintain fruit firmness. For specific ornamentals (miniature carnations, hibiscus, and rooted geranium cuttings and seedlings), AVG may reduce problems, such as flower senescence and flower bud abscission, that occur during shipping. AVG to be used as a spray solution, applied to apples or pears as a single application 28 days prior to the anticipated beginning of the normal harvest period, and to specified ornamentals 24-to -48 hours prior to boxing/shipping.

Methylarsonic acid, monosodium salt is an organoarsenic compound formed from the methylation of inorganic arsenic by living organisms. Methylarsonate is used as a contact herbicide in either the monosodium or disodium salt form. It goes by the trade names Weed-E-Rad, Ansar 170 H.C., Ansar 529 H.C., DiTac and others. Methylarsonate is considered only slightly toxic, having an oral LD50 of 2200 mg/Kg for rats. The inhalation risk is greater with LD50 Rats >20 mg. Long term studies with people exposed to organoarsenicals has shown an increased risk of skin cancer (Spiewak, 2001), lung cancer and some liver cancers, although some recent studies have shown some arsenic containing compounds (specifically Arsine trioxide) may have anticarcinogenic properties (Wang, 2001). In mammals, Methylarsonate is also an intermediate in the detoxification of inorganic arsenic. In the arsenate detoxification I pathway, arsenite reacts with S-adenosyl-L-methionine to produce methylarsonate and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. Arsenite methyltransferase catalyzes this reaction. Methylarsonate then reacts with 2 glutathione molecules to produce glutathione disulfide and methylarsonite. This reaction is catalyzed by methylarsonate reductase. Methylarsonate is an organic arsenic compound with adverse effects similar to those of arsenic trioxide. Methylarsonate was formerly included in some vitamin and mineral preparations. It was once used to treat tuberculosis, chorea, and other affections in which the cacodylates were used.

THALLOUS OXIDE (Thallium (1) Oxide) has been used in the manufacturing of glass of a high coefficient of refraction for optical purposes (thallium flint glass) and for artificial gems. Thallium oxide is black in color and is the inorganic compound of Thallium and Oxygen. THALLOUS OXIDE compounds are typically insoluble in aqueous solutions (water) and extremely stable making them useful in ceramic structures as simple as producing clay bowls to advanced electronics (e.g. tablets) and in light weight structural components in aerospace and electrochemical applications such as fuel cells. THALLOUS OXIDE is toxic by ingestion. It has previously been used as rat poison and ant killer, but its use is prohibited since 1972.

Methylbenzethonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium with antimicrobial activity, which is used in combination with aminoglycoside antibiotic, paromomycin (brand name LESHCUTAN) for the topical treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Tetradonium is a cationic germicidal detergent, often used in disinfectant and deodorant compositions.

Ammonium hexafluorosilicate is a white crystalline solid. Corrodes aluminum. Used as a disinfectant, in etching glass, metal casting, and electroplating. Ammonium hexafluorosilicate is useful for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity, since ammonium hexafluorosilicate induced calcium phosphate precipitation from the saliva; therefore, it has a continuous effect on dentin tubules occlusion under a simulated oral environment. Ammonium hexafluorosilicate has been applied to arrest caries without discoloration. The major use of sodium hexafluorosilicate and fluorosilicic acid is as fluoridation agents for drinking water. Sodium hexafluorosilicate has also been used for caries control as part of asilicophosphate cement, an acidic gel in combination with monocalcium phosphate monohydrate,and a two-solution fluoride mouth rinse. Both chemicals are also used as a chemical intermediate (raw material) for aluminum trifluoride, cryolite (Na3AlF6), silicon tetrafluoride,and other fluorosilicates and have found applications in commercial laundry. Other applications for sodium hexafluorosilicate include its use in enamels/enamel frits for china and porcelain, in opalescent glass, metallurgy (aluminum and beryllium), glue, ore flotation, leather and wood preservatives, and in insecticides and rodenticides. It has been used in the manufacture of pure silicon, as a gelling agent in the production of molded latex foam, and as afluorinating agent in organic synthesis to convert organodichlorophosphorus compounds to the corresponding organodifluorophosphorus compound. In veterinary practice, external applicationof sodium hexafluorosilicate combats lice and mosquitoes on cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry, and oral administration combats roundworms and possibly whipworms in swine and prevents dental caries in rats. Apparently, all pesticidal products had their registrations cancelled or they were discontinued by the early 1990s

Azacosterol (Ornitrol, 20,25-diazacholesterol dihydrochloride, SC 12937) is a cholesterol-lowering drug (hypocholesteremic) which was marketed previously but has since been discontinued. Azacosterol is a sterol derivative of cholesterol with two nitrogen atoms replacing two carbon atoms that acts as a hypocholesteremic agent by blocking delta-24-reductase. Azacosterol has the unintended side effect of causing myotonia. It is an avian contraceptive compound, which reduces fertility by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis. Azacosterol is also useful in the control of rodent populations.
