Eplerenone (CGP 30083) is an aldosterone receptor antagonist and potassium-sparing diuretic used in the therapy of hypertension. Eplerenone therapy has been associated with transient elevations in serum aminotransferase levels, but has yet to be linked to cases of clinically apparent drug induced liver disease.

Levetiracetam (SIB-S1) is a relatively unique anticonvulsant that is typically used in combination with other antiepileptic medications for partial onset seizures. Levetiracetam has been linked to rare instances of serum aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase elevations during treatment and to rare cases of clinically apparent drug induced liver disease.

Deoxycholic acid (DCA) is a natural product and a TGR5 receptor agonist with cell permeability and oral activity. As a metabolite of intestinal flora, this compound is widely used in research on bile acid signal transduction, glucose and lipid metabolism, and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, and has shown therapeutic potential in diabetes and liver disease models.

Royal Jelly Acid (Queen Bee Acid) is a major fatty acid found in royal jelly that promotes neuronal growth and protection and reduces anxiety. Royal Jelly Acid induces reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated apoptosis in A549 cells, improves non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by activating the AMPK-α signaling pathway, and reduces bone loss by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway downstream of FFAR4. Royal Jelly Acid also exhibits inhibitory effects against various bacteria and fungi, including Aspergillus niger, mold, and Staphylococcus aureus.

1. Berberine (Umbellatine) is a potent oral hypoglycemic agent with beneficial effects on lipid metabolism. 2. Berberine may as a broad-spectrum anti-microbial medicine, a complementary therapeutic agent for HIV/AIDS. 3.

Isoquercetin may be as a potential therapeutic agent against neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease. 3. Isoquercetin is an inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin and may be as a potential novel anti-tumoral agent, such as against human pancreati,liver cancer related to opioid receptors and to the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway. .

Collagenase Type I is a proteolytic enzyme that primarily targets collagen and is able to break down peptide bonds in collagen. Collagenase is used as a potential therapeutic option to break up the herniated disc material, thereby reducing compression of nearby nerves. Collagenase may aid in the breakdown and reorganization of excessive scar tissue, potentially improving tissue function and appearance. Collagenase has the potential to treat intervertebral disc herniation, keloid, fat mass, lipoma, as well as Peyronie's disease and palmar fibromatosis.
