Atracurium besylate (51W89) is a non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent with short duration of action. Its lack of significant cardiovascular effects and its lack of dependence on good kidney function for elimination provide clinical advantage over alternate non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents.

MCI-INI-3 is a selective competitive inhibitor of human ALDH1A3, with a Ki value of 0.55 μM for ALDH1A3 and 78.2 μM for ALDH1A1. It inhibits retinoic acid biosynthesis and can reduce the viability of glioblastoma cells GSC-83 and GSC-326.

2-Fluoropalmitic acid (2-Fluorohexadecanoic acid), a fatty acid containing fluorine atoms, serves as a potential therapeutic agent for glioblastoma (GBM) by inhibiting the viability, proliferation, and stem-like phenotype of glioma stem cells (GSCs), suppressing the expression of phosphorylated erk, CD133, and SOX-2, and leading to decreased MMP-2 activity and increased methylation of the MGMT promoter.
