Docetrizoate (trade name: Pulmidol) is the bronchographic agent (radiopaque medium). The most important characteristic of a bronchographic medium, that it should flow readily into small bronchial branches, but not pass into bronchioles, is well fulfilled by Pulmidol. Propyl docetrizoate in 60 or 75 per cent suspension in arachis oil produced satisfactory bronchograms in the cat and in man. The radio-opaque material was cleared from the lung within two to four days, and produced no significant histological changes in the lungs of cats receiving a high concentration into one lobe. Early in 1962 a change to Pulmidol was made because of the increased contrast due to its higher iodine content, but its use had to be discontinued following reports of deaths in children due to its absorption under anaesthesia.

4-Isothioureidobutyronitrile (Kevetrin) is a small molecule that has demonstrated the potential of becoming a breakthrough cancer treatment by inducing activation of p53. It is a water-soluble, small molecule and activator of the tumor suppressor protein p53, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon intravenous administration, 4-thioureidobutyronitrile activates p53 which in turn induces the expressions of p21 and PUMA (p53 up-regulated modulator of apoptosis), thereby inhibiting cancer cell growth and causing tumor cell apoptosis. 4-Thioureidobutyronitrile may be effective in drug-resistant cancers with mutated p53. p53 tumor suppressor, a transcription factor regulating the expression of many stress response genes and mediating various anti-proliferative processes, is often mutated in cancer cells. Cellceutix continues to build upon the successful Phase 1 trial evaluating Kevetrin in treating advanced solid tumors conducted at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Kevetrin, in IV form, was shown to safely modulate, in a non-genotoxic manner, the key tumor suppressor protein p53 as measured through increased expression of p21, a key downstream biomarker of p53. Cellceutix is advancing Kevetrin under an Orphan Drug designation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer and childhood retinoblastoma.

Lambda-cyhalothrin (λ-cyhalothrin), a mixture of isomers of cyhalothrin belongs to a class of insecticides known as synthetic pyrethroids. Synthetic pyrethroids are often preferred to the real thing as an active ingredient because they offer the added bonus of remaining effective for longer period. λ-cyhalothrin was the most commonly used pyrethroid insecticide for vegetable farming in Benin. Experiments have shown that λ-cyhalothrin residues in lettuce and cabbage from farms and markets in Parakou and Cotonou were relatively safe for consumption.
