ErythritolErythritol is a four-carbon sugar that is found in algae, fungi, and lichens. It is twice as sweet as sucrose and can be used as a coronary vasodilator.
DithioerythritolA compound that, along with its isomer, Cleland's reagent (dithiothreitol), is used for the protection of sulfhydryl groups against oxidation to disulfides and for the reduction of disulfides to sulfhydryl...
DiatrizoateAn injected contrast agent used in radiology.
Gadobenic acidA gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) used with contrasted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect and visualize lesions and abnormal vascularity.
Isosorbide dinitrateA vasodilator used to treat angina in coronary artery disease.
Erythrityl tetranitrateFor the prevention of angina.
