Dextranomer, for treatment of burns; consists of three-dimensional network of dextran polymers cross-linked by epichlorohydrin; dextranomer based implants usedas a bulking agent for endoscopic treatment of pediatric structural incontinence; ingredient of
3-Epideoxycholic acid (EDCA), a secondary bile acid and an epimer of deoxycholic acid, serves as a steroidal host compound in the enantioselective purification of (2R,3S)-3-methyl-2-pentanol from its racemates via enclathration. Additionally, decreased fecal levels of EDCA have been observed in pediatric patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Cholesteryl palmitoleate, a cholesterol ester, exhibits elevated plasma levels in ApoE- - mice following exposure to cigarette smoke and in pediatric patients diagnosed with biliary atresia. It serves as a standard for identifying cholesterol esters in human meibomian gland secretions.
