5-Thio-L-fucose is a sugar that is found in a variety of tissues and organs. It has been shown to inhibit the antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) by binding to the Fc portion of IgG antibodies, which are used to target and destroy cancer cells. 5-Thio-L-fucose has also been shown to modulate the effector functions of natural killer cells and enhance the glycan profile of dendritic cells. It may be useful as a supplement for patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, where it may help inhibit the growth of tumor cells. 5-Thio-L-fucose inhibits ADCC activity by binding to IgG antibodies, preventing them from attaching to immune cells, which would otherwise act as effectors in destroying tumor cells. This inhibition can be reversed with a competitive inhibitor such as D-arabinose.

Cellulose acetate fiber is one of the earliest synthetic fibers and is based on cotton or tree pulp cellulose. Cellulose acetate is used as a film base in photography, as a component in some coatings, and as a frame material for eyeglasses.  It is also used as a synthetic fiber in the manufacture of cigarette filters and playing cards. In photographic film, cellulose acetate replaced nitrate film in the 1950s, being far less flammable and cheaper to produce but in recent years has been rendered obsolete by the advent of digital cameras.

Tween 65 is a polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (polysorbate) surfactant that is used as a film-forming polymer and dispersing agent in solid preparations. Tween 65 has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of prostate cancer cells, which may be due to its ability to bind to anti-prostate specific antigen (anti-pcsk9) antibody causing the antibody to aggregate and form a particle. This process inhibits the interaction between the antibody and its target, preventing it from binding with PCSK9 protein. The addition of propranolol hydrochloride has been shown to increase the effectiveness of Tween 65.
