Erythromycin estolate is a semi-synthetic derivative of erythromycin with good oral absorption and bioavailability tolerance. As a macrolide antibiotic, Erythromycin exerts its antibacterial action by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis and is mainly used in studies for the treatment of respiratory, skin and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria. Erythromycin estolate may cause liver injury, including mild cholestatic hepatitis, jaundice, and paucity of bile ducts.

DL-Pyroglutamic acid exhibited a strong inactivating effect on hepatitis B surface antigen.

Pseudolaric acid B, a natural diterpenoid compound, is isolated from Pseudolarix kaempferi.

Pyrithioxin dihydrochloride (Pyrithioxine HCl) has anti-nociceptive and anti-allodynic effects, can promote the metabolism of glucose and amino acids in the brain, improve systemic assimilation, and can be used to study neurological diseases such as atherosclerosis. Pyrithioxin dihydrochloride can induce severe cholestatic hepatitis.
