Busulfan
An alkylating agent having a selective immunosuppressive effect on bone marrow. It has been used in the palliative treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (myeloid leukemia, chronic), but although symptomatic relief is provided, no permanent remission is brought about. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), busulfan is listed as a known carcinogen.

Treosulfan
Treosulfan belongs to the family of Methanesulfonates. These are compounds containing a methanesulfonate moiety, which consists of a methane linked to the sulfur atom of a sulfonate group.

Acamprosate
Acamprosate, also known by the brand name Campral™, is a drug used for treating alcohol dependence. Acamprosate is thought to stabilize the chemical balance in the brain that would otherwise be disrupted by alcoholism, possibly by blocking glutaminergic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, while gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptors are activated. Reports indicate that acamprosate only works with a combination of attending support groups and abstinence from alcohol. Certain serious side effects include allergic reactions, irregular heartbeats, and low or high blood pressure, while less serious side effects include headaches, insomnia, and impotence. Acamprosate should not be taken by people with kidney problems or allergies to the drug.

N-Acetyltaurine
N-Acetyltaurine (also known as NAT) is a highly water-soluble and hygroscopic compound formed by the acetylation of taurine. It is both an endogenous metabolite that is constitutively synthesized in the body and an exogenous metabolite formed by ethanol metabolism. NAT is formed by one or multiple N-acetylation reactions between taurine and ethanol metabolites (primarily acetate). The enzyme responsible for NAT synthesis is called NAT synthase, a cytosolic metalloenzyme located in the kidney and liver that can directly catalyze the esterification reaction between taurine and acetate, without the involvement of ATP and CoA. NAT is a potential biomarker of hyperacetatemia as well as ethanol consumption (PMID: 22228769). NAT is typically found in human urine with normal concentrations of 0.599-1.38 umol/mmol creatinine in alcohol-abstinent subjects. NAT can reach average levels of 8.38 umol/mmol creatinine (range 5.39-10.47 umol/mmol creatinine) in subjects consuming alcohol within 3 to 6 h after the start of drinking. Positive NAT results can be used as an indicator for recent alcohol consumption (PMID: 27520321). NAT is considered a direct alcohol biomarker that specifically represents the oxidative pathway of ethanol metabolism. Other direct alcohol biomarkers such as fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE), ethyl glucuronide, ethyl sulfate, and phosphatidylethanol reflect the non-oxidative pathway of alcohol metabolism. NAT is also elevated in urine after periods of endurance exercise. NAT was previously found in nature as a major component in the sticky droplet of orb spider web. Due to its high hygroscopicity, N-acetyltaurine appears to ensure the orb spider’s web flexibility.
