Label	Id	Description
Prostaglandin and Leukotriene Metabolism Pathway	NCIT_C38855
ALOX5 Gene	NCIT_C68726	[This gene plays a role in inflammation.]
Neatsfoot Oil	NCIT_C107334	[The oil rendered from the shin bones and feet of cattle. Neatsfoot oil is used primarily as a conditioning, softening, and preservative agent for leather.]
Nigella sativa Seed Oil	NCIT_C107335	[The oil extracted from the seeds of Nigella sativa. Blackseed oil is used primarily for its nutritive properties.]
Nutmeg Oil	NCIT_C107336	[The essential oil obtained from ground nutmeg. Nutmeg oil is typically used as a food flavoring but also has analgesic properties.]
Orange Oil Extract	NCIT_C107337	[The oil extracted from the fruit peel of Citrus sinensis. Orange oil is used as a flavoring, a solvent and for its aromatic properties.]
Influenza Vaccine	NCIT_C29120
Oregano Leaf Oil	NCIT_C107338	[The essential oil of Origanum vulgare. Oregano oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties.]
Insulin, 70/30	NCIT_C29121	[A mixture of two types of insulin consisting of 70 percent long-acting insulin suspension and 30 percent rapid-acting insulin. Typically administered twice a day, insulin 70/30 controls postprandial glycemia and allows convenient mealtime dosing. The long-acting insulin component controls blood glucose levels between meals. Endogenous human insulin, a pancreatic hormone composed of two polypeptide chains, is important for the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats; it has anabolic effects on many types of tissues. (NCI04)]
Therapeutic Insulin	NCIT_C581	[A synthetic or animal-derived form of insulin used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Therapeutic insulin is formulated to be short-, intermediate- and long-acting in order to individualize an insulin regimen according to individual differences in glucose and insulin metabolism. Therapeutic insulin may be derived from porcine, bovine or recombinant sources. Endogenous human insulin, a pancreatic hormone composed of two polypeptide chains, is important for the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats and has anabolic effects on many types of tissues.]
Origanum majorana Leaf Extract	NCIT_C107339	[The essential oil of Origanum marjorana. Marjoram oil is reported to have sedative effects and to be useful in calming asthma and other respiratory symptoms.]
Insulin, Lente	NCIT_C29122	[A long-acting crystalline insulin often used in combination with a short-acting insulin in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. This type of insulin may be derived from porcine or recombinant sources. Administered once daily, insulin Lente starts to lower blood glucose within 1 to 3 hours after injection and exerts its peak effect 7 to 15 hours after injection. Endogenous human insulin, a pancreatic hormone composed of two polypeptide chains, is important for the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats; it has anabolic effects on many types of tissues. (NCI04)]
Insulin Lispro	NCIT_C29123	[A recombinant therapeutic agent which is chemically identical to or similar to endogenous human insulin. In lispro insulin, the amino acid proline at B-28 and the amino acid lysine at B-29 are reversed, resulting in the rapid dissolution of this insulin to a monomer that is absorbed rapidly after subcutaneous administration. Lispro insulin is equipotent to human insulin on a molar basis but its effects are faster and of shorter duration. Endogenous insulin, a pancreatic hormone composed of two polypeptide chains, is important in the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, promoting glucose utilization and protein synthesis; it has anabolic effects on many types of tissues. (NCI04)]
APC Membrane Recruitment Protein 1	NCIT_C68721	[APC membrane recruitment protein 1 (1135 aa, ~124 kDa) is encoded by the human AMER1 gene. This protein plays a role in both Wnt signaling and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate localization.]
AMER1 Gene	NCIT_C68718	[This gene may play a role in kidney development.]
Insulin, NPH	NCIT_C29124	[An intermediate-acting insulin used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Administered once or twice daily, NPH (neutral protamine hagedorn) insulin lowers blood glucose within 1 to 2 hours after administration and exerts a peak effect at 6 to 10 hours. Endogenous insulin, a pancreatic hormone composed of two polypeptide chains, is important in the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, promoting glucose utilization and protein synthesis; it has anabolic effects on many types of tissues. (NCI04)]
NY-ESO-1 TCR Retroviral Vector-transduced Autologous PBMCs	NCIT_C146939	[Human autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) transduced with a retroviral vector (RV) encoding a T-cell receptor (TCR) specific for the cancer-testis antigen NY-ESO-1, with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon isolation, transduction, expansion ex vivo, and reintroduction into the patient, the NY-ESO-1 TCR RV-transduced autologous PBMCs recognize and bind to NY-ESO-1-overexpressing tumor cells. This may result in a specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated killing of NY-ESO-1-positive tumor cells. NY-ESO-1, a tumor associated antigen (TAA), is found in normal testis and on the surface of various tumor cell types.]
EZR Gene	NCIT_C68722	[This gene plays a role in cellular structure.]
XAGE2 Gene	NCIT_C20788	[This gene plays a role in the immune response.]
Insulin, Regular	NCIT_C29125	[A recombinant form of the naturally occurring human pancreatic hormone insulin. Upon administration, regular insulin mimics the action of endogenous human insulin and binds to insulin receptors located on muscle and fat cells. This both facilitates the cellular uptake of glucose and lowers blood glucose levels. In addition, insulin inhibits the liver's conversion of stored glycogen into glucose, which also decreases blood glucose levels. Insulin also inhibits lipolysis in adipose tissue, inhibits proteolysis, and enhances protein synthesis.]
