Polaprezinc is a zinc-containing molecule and used for the therapy of gastric ulcer. It has been reported that this compound inhibits the induction of TNF-a as well as cellular signaling of TNF-a. Polaprezinc has been shown to exert an anti-oxidant property in a tube experiment and accelerate the healing of gastric ulcer in humans. Polaprezinc inhibited EtOH-induced cytochrome c reduction. Protection by polaprezinc was microscopically associated with the prevention of monolayer disruption. In an animal model of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis polaprezinc improves the recovery from 5-fluorouracil–induced oral mucositis in hamsters. Polaprezinc ameliorates mucosal ulceration in acetic acid-induced experimental oral mucositis in hamsters. Polaprezinc is potentially useful for prevention of oral mucositis and improvement of quality of life without reducing the tumor response. Polaprezinc is in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of taste disorders.
Zinc aspartate is an approved drug, used to treat zinc deficiency in humans. Zinc aspartate regulates the production of the growth hormone and sex hormones (it is necessary for the production of sperm cells and egg cells). It reduces the body’s susceptibility to infections and allergies. It promotes the proper secretion of insulin by the pancreas. Zinc deficiency causes: disorders in the functioning of the skin, the digestive system, the nervous system, the immunological system, and the skeletal system. Significant zinc deficiency can cause dwarfism and genital underdevelopment. Zinc aspartate suppresses experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for multiple sclerosis (MS), as well as effector T cell functions in vitro.

Bacitracin is a polypeptide antibiotic produced by Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis. Bacitracin in combination with neomycin and polymyxin B is indicated for the treatment of many bacterial diseases. The antibacterial properties of bacitracin are mediated by its binding to C55-isoprenyl pyrophosphate, resulting in inhibition of cell wall biosynthesis.
