Documented Uses

• Flavouring Agent -> FLAVOURING_AGENT -> JECFA Functional Classes
• Flavoring Agents -> JECFA Flavorings Index
• 1(3H)-Isobenzofuranone, 3-butyl-: ACTIVE
• Drugs or agents which antagonize or impair any mechanism leading to blood platelet aggregation, whether during the phases of activation and shape change or following the dense-granule release reaction and stimulation of the prostaglandin-thromboxane system.
• Drugs intended to prevent damage to the brain or spinal cord from ischemia, stroke, convulsions, or trauma. Some must be administered before the event, but others may be effective for some time after. They act by a variety of mechanisms, but often directly or indirectly minimize the damage produced by endogenous excitatory amino acids.
