Tamoxifen (ICI47699) is a selective and orally effective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Tamoxifen has both inhibitory (e.g., mammary cells) and activating (e.g., bone, liver, and uterine cells) activity against estrogens.

D(+)-Galactosamine hydrochloride (D-Galactosamine HCl) hepatotoxicity is associated with endotoxin sensitivity and mediated by lymphoreticular cells in mice.

Arachidonic acid (Immunocytophyte) is an unsaturated, essential fatty acid. It is found in animal and human fat as well as in the liver, brain, and glandular organs, and is a constituent of animal phosphatides. It is formed by the synthesis from dietary linoleic acid and is a precursor in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.

Sodium taurocholate (Taurocholate Sodium) hydrate is the main end product of cholesterol catabolism. During enterohepatic circulation, bile taurocholic acid is converted by the microorganisms to taurodeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid.[3] These are reabsorbed by the liver via a carrier-mediated process and converted by liver enzymes to taurocholic acid.

Thioacetamide is a hepatotoxicant used widely to induce experimental liver lesions, develops hepatocellular necrosis and subsequent inflammation (mainly M1- M2-macrophages without neutrophil infiltration) in rats.

N-Nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) is a potent hepatocarcinogenic dialkylnitrosoamine primarily found in water, tobacco smoke, cheddar cheese, cured and fried meals, and many alcoholic beverages. NDEA is responsible for changes in nuclear enzymes related to DNA repair replication and induces various tumors in all animal species, targeting mainly the liver, nasal cavity, trachea, lung, and esophagus.

Tacrolimus (Fujimycin) can bind FKBP12 to form a high-affinity complex (Ki: 0.2 nM) which inhibits the activity of the calcium calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase.

Ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA), an iron complex of nitriloacetic acid, is widely used to provoke oxidative stress (OS)-linked degenerative disorders. This compound has also been utilized in research to induce hyperglycemia, glycosuria, as well as renal and liver carcinogenesis [1].

Dimethylnitrosamine (NDMA), a potent hepatotoxin, carcinogen, and mutagen, induces liver tumors [1] [2].

Glycerol or glycerin is a colourless, odourless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and mostly non-toxic. It is widely used in the food industry as a sweetener and humectant and in pharmaceutical formulations. Glycerol is an important component of trigl
