Phenytoin (5,5-Diphenylhydantoin) is a hydantoin derivative and a non-sedative antiepileptic agent with anticonvulsant activity. It potentially acts by promoting sodium efflux from neurons in the motor cortex, reducing post-tetanic potentiation at synapses. This prevents cortical seizure foci from spreading to adjacent areas and stabilizes the threshold against hyperexcitability. Additionally, it appears to reduce muscle spindle sensitivity to stretch, causing muscle relaxation.

Ritodrine hydrochloride (NSC 291565) binds to and activates beta-2 adrenergic receptors of myometrial cells in the uterus, which decreases the intensity and frequency of uterine contractions. Ritodrine hydrochloride (NSC 291565) is a phenethylamine derivative with tocolytic activity. Specifically, Ritodrine hydrochloride (NSC 291565) probably activates adenyl cyclase, thereby increasing production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), which in turn enhances the efflux of calcium from vascular smooth muscle cells. A lack of intracellular calcium prevents uterine myometrial contractions. In addition, this agent may directly inactivate myosin light chain kinase, a critical enzyme necessary for the initiation of muscle contractions.

Pinolenic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in Korean pine (Pinus orientalis) and maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) seed oils, which exhibit lipid-lowering properties. In transgenic mice expressing human ApoA1, a diet containing maritime pine seed oil (MPSO) reduced high-density lipoprotein and ApoA1 levels and diminished cholesterol efflux in vitro. Korean pine seed oil supplements may aid in reducing obesity by decreasing appetite, as evidenced by increased levels of satiety hormones CCK and GLP-1 and reduced desire to eat. Pinolenic acid, which is not metabolically converted to arachidonic acid, can lower arachidonic acid levels in the phosphatidylinositol fraction of HepG2 cells from 15.9% to 7.0%. The neutral, more lipophilic form of pinolenic acid is pinolenic acid ethyl ester.
