2,6-dichlorophenol is a white crystalline solid with a strong odor. Odor threshold concentration: 0.003 mg/L at 86°F; 200 µg/L at 68-72°F. Taste threshold concentration: 0.0002 mg/L. (NTP, 1992) 2,6-dichlorophenol is a dichlorophenol with the chloro substituents at positions 2 and 6.

Inositol is a natural sugar found in cell membrane phospholipids, plasma lipoproteins, and (as the phosphate form) in the nucleus with potential chemopreventive properties. As one of a number of intracellular phosphate compounds, inositol is involved in cell signaling and may stimulate tumor cell differentiation. Inositol is a collection of nine different stereoisomers but the name is usually used to describe only the most common type of inositol, myo-inositol. Myo-inositol is the cis-1,2,3,5-trans-4,6-cyclohexanehexol and it is prepared from an aqueous extract of corn kernels by precipitation and hydrolysis of crude phytate. These molecules have structural similarities to glucose and are involved in cellular signaling. It is considered a pseudovitamin as it is a molecule that does not qualify to be an essential vitamin because even though its presence is vital in the body, a deficiency in this molecule does not translate into disease conditions. Inositol can be found as an ingredient of OTC products by Health Canada but all current product whose main ingredient is inositol are discontinued. By the FDA, inositol is considered in the list of specific substances affirmed as generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Myo-inositol is an inositol having myo- configuration. It has a role as a member of compatible osmolytes, a nutrient, an EC 3.1.4.11 (phosphoinositide phospholipase C) inhibitor, a human metabolite, a Daphnia magna metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite.

Xylitol is a pentitol (five-carbon sugar alcohol) having meso-configuration, being derived from xylose by reduction of the carbonyl group. IXylitol is a naturally occurring five-carbon sugar alcohol found in most plant material, including many fruits and vegetables. Xylitol-rich plant materials include birch and beechwood. It is widely used as a sugar substitute and in "sugar-free" food products. The effects of xylitol on dental caries have been widely studied, and xylitol is added to some chewing gums and other oral care products to prevent tooth decay and dry mouth. Xylitol is a non-fermentable sugar alcohol by most plaque bacteria, indicating that it cannot be fermented into cariogenic acid end-products. It works by inhibiting the growth of the microorganisms present in plaque and saliva after it accummulates intracellularly into the microorganism. The recommended dose of xylitol for dental caries prevention is 6–10 g/day, and most adults can tolerate 40 g/day without adverse events. t has a role as a sweetening agent, an allergen, a hapten, a human metabolite, an algal metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite and a mouse metabolite.

Benzylamine is a colorless liquid, which produces smoke in the air. It is miscible with water, ethanol and ether, and soluble in acetone and benzene. It can absorb CO2, react with halogenated hydrocarbon to form N-substituted benzylamine, react with acyl chloride, anhydride or ester to form n-benzylamide, and react with aldehyde and ketone to form n-benzylimine. It can be prepared by the reaction of benzyl chloride with ammonia, or by the reduction of benzonitrile, or by the reduction and ammoniation of benzaldehyde with NH3 and H2 / Ni. This product is used in organic synthesis, qualitative test of metal organic compounds, determination of platinum, vanadium and tungstate, and as precipitant of thorium, cerium, lanthanum and zirconium. Benzylamine is also an intermediate for the preparation of imidacloprid and acetamiprid, and is also an intermediate for sulfametholone.

Acetaminophen is a phenolic organic compound, which is used for fever caused by common cold or influenza. It also relieved mild to moderate pain such as headache, joint pain, migraine, toothache, muscle pain, neuralgia, dysmenorrhea. Acetaminophen is an antipyretic and analgesic drug. It selectively inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins in hypothalamic thermoregulatory center by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, leading to peripheral vasodilation and sweating. Its antipyretic effect is similar to that of aspirin; It can inhibit the synthesis and release of prostaglandins, improve the pain threshold and play an analgesic role. It belongs to peripheral analgesics. Its effect is weaker than aspirin, and it is only effective for mild and moderate pain. This product has no obvious anti-inflammatory effect.
