Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol, a colorless liquid with a mild aromatic odor. Benzyl alcohol is an inhibitor of P450 enzyme. Benzyl alcohol mediated Toll-Like Receptor 4 to reduce the inflammatory response of liver injury in mice.

PEG600 can be used as an excipient, such as ointment base, lubricant. Pharmaceutical excipients, or pharmaceutical auxiliaries, refer to other chemical substances used in the pharmaceutical process other than pharmaceutical ingredients. Pharmaceutical excipients generally refer to inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations, which can improve the stability, solubility and processability of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmaceutical excipients also affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes of co-administered drugs.

Soybean oil (VT 18 (oil); Vegetoil; Wesson) is an edible vegetable oil. Soybean oil reduces circulating blood cholesterol levels when it replaces dietary saturated fats. Soybean oil does not affect inflammatory biomarkers or increase oxidative stress. Soybean oil contains γ-tocopherol and δ-tocopherol, which possess antioxidant properties. Soybean oil can be used in research related to coronary heart disease.

Peanut Oil can be used as an excipient. Pharmaceutical excipients, or pharmaceutical auxiliaries, refer to other chemical substances used in the pharmaceutical process other than pharmaceutical ingredients. Pharmaceutical excipients generally refer to inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations, which can improve the stability, solubility and processability of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmaceutical excipients also affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes of co-administered drugs.

Cottonseed oil is an edible oil extracted from the seeds of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). Its fatty acid composition includes 26-35% saturated fatty acids, 42-52% polyunsaturated fatty acids, and 18-24% monounsaturated fatty acids. Cottonseed oil is regarded as an Insecticide, as it is used to protect the trunks of apple trees from damage by the apple clearwing moth. Cottonseed oil possesses anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective properties. It also has extensive applications in many fields such as biofuels, animal husbandry, cosmetics, agriculture, and chemical industry.

Ethyl oleate is an orally active fatty acid ester formed from the condensation of oleic acid and ethanol. Ethyl oleate is the main fatty acid ethyl ester in the blood after alcohol ingestion. Ethyl oleate has no obvious toxicity to rats and its absorption, distribution and excretionare similar to triacylglycerol. Ethyl oleate can accelerate the drying process of certain foods and can also be used as a liquid lipid component in nanostructured lipid carriers.

Isopropyl myristate (IPM) is the ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. Isopropyl myristate is used for transdermal delivery of some compounds. Isopropyl myristate is a polar emollient and is used in cosmetic and topical medicinal preparations where good absorption into the skin is desired.

Nonaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (Nonaoxyethylene monododecyl ether) is a nonionic surfactant and polyethylene glycol (PEG) detergent that can be used to form initial coalesced O/W emulsion droplets, as well as for protein separation and purification.

Isosorbide dimethyl ether is a green solvent. Isosorbide dimethyl ether can be used to prepare sustainable ultrafiltration and microfiltration membranes.

Glycerol dioleate is a lipid capable of forming Lyotropic Liquid Crystal (LLC). When formulated with phosphatidylcholine and exposed to aqueous media, glycerol dioleate constructs an inverted hexagonal (H_II) phase structure with sustained-release properties. The in-situ forming gel prepared by optimizing glycerol dioleate with phosphatidylcholine and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone enables stable release of Risperidone (HY-11018) for up to 60 days in vitro and in vivo. Glycerol dioleate causes minimal side effects in rabbits, making it an ideal carrier component for the development of antischizophrenia agents.Note: Lyotropic liquid crystals (Lyotropic Liquid Crystal, LLC) are ordered fluid phases self-assembled by amphipathic molecules (e.g., lipids, surfactants) in solvents (usually water) at specific concentrations.

Isopropyl palmitate is an fatty acid ester. Isopropyl palmitate can be used for design and characterization of bioactive bilayer films. The bilayer membrane not only has the ability to scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation, but also can inhibit the growth of known foodborne pathogens. Isopropyl palmitate can be used as an excipient, such as lubricant, oily carrier, solvent, controlled-release transdermal film. Pharmaceutical excipients, or pharmaceutical auxiliaries, refer to other chemical substances used in the pharmaceutical process other than pharmaceutical ingredients. Pharmaceutical excipients generally refer to inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations, which can improve the stability, solubility and processability of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmaceutical excipients also affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes of co-administered drugs.

PEG-4 lauryl ether is a non-ionic detergent that can be used as an excipient or for the isolation of functional membrane complexes.

Safflower oil (from Carthamus tinctorius seed) is rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and oleic acid, as well as tocopherols and phenolic compounds, and exhibits antioxidant, anti-aging and blood lipid-regulating effects.
