Benzyl isothiocyanate, and other isothiocyanates in general, were found to be protective against pancreatic carcinogenesis in vitro [3] via expression of the p21/WAF1 gene. [4] A recent published study showed its restraining impact on obesity, fatty liver, and insulin resistance in diet-induced obesity mouse model.
Liothyronine may be used when there is an impaired conversion of T 4 to T 3 in peripheral tissues. [2] The dose of liothyronine for hypothyroidism is a lower amount than levothyroxine due it being a higher concentrated synthetic medication. [2] About 25 μg of liothyronine is equivalent to 100 μg of levothyroxine. [3]
The natural role of glucosinolates are as plant defense compounds. The enzyme myrosinase removes the glucose group in glucotropaeolin to give an intermediate which spontaneously rearranges to benzyl isothiocyanate. This is a reactive material which is toxic to many insect predators and its production is triggered when the plant is damaged. [6]
Allyl thiocyanate isomerizes to the isothiocyanate: [4] CH 2 =CHCH 2 SCN → CH 2 =CHCH 2 NCS. Isothiocyanates can be prepared by treating organic dithiocarbamate salts with lead nitrate or tosyl chloride. [5] [6] Synthesis of phenyl isothiocyanate. Isothiocyanates may also be accessed by the fragmentation reactions of 1,4,2-oxathiazoles. [7]
The chemical name of lacosamide is (R)-2-acetamido-N-benzyl-3-methoxypropionamide and the systemic name is N2-Acetyl-N-benzyl-O-methyl-D-serinamide. [ 21 ] [ 36 ] Lacosamide is a functionalized amino acid molecule that has high solubility in water and DMSO, with a solubility of 20.1 mg/mL in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.5, 25 °C).
Two long-acting forms benzathine benzylpenicillin and procaine benzylpenicillin are available for use by injection into a muscle only. [6] Side effects include diarrhea, seizures, and allergic reactions including anaphylaxis. [6] When used to treat syphilis or Lyme disease a reaction known as Jarisch–Herxheimer may occur. [6]
Benzydamine (also known as Tantum Verde and branded in some countries as Maxtra Gargle, Difflam and Septabene), available as the hydrochloride salt, is a locally acting nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with local anaesthetic and analgesic properties for pain relief and anti-inflammatory treatment of inflammatory conditions of the mouth and throat. [2]
The most common side effects include sleepiness, dizziness, trouble breathing, and abdominal pain. [4] Other severe side effects may include liver problems, confusion, addiction, and allergic reactions. [4] Frequent use may result in medication overuse headache. [8] Barbiturate withdrawal may occur if rapidly stopped following long term use. [9]
