Pentremites is a type of extinct echinoderm, a marine animal that lived during the Paleozoic Era, around 350-400 million years ago.

Pentosan is a type of carbohydrate, specifically a five-carbon sugar, with the chemical formula C5H10O5. It is similar to pentose, a larger group of five-carbon sugars, but has a more specific molecular structure. Pentosans are often found in plant cell walls and are involved in plant cell signaling and defense against pathogens.
Pentoxide is a chemical compound, specifically a oxide, which is formed when a pentavalent metal is oxidized. It has the general formula MO5, where M is the metal atom.
Pentoxifylline is a medication used to improve blood flow in people with circulation problems. It is especially useful for treating conditions such as intermittent claudication, which causes pain or cramping in the legs due to lack of oxygenated blood flow. Pentoxifylline works by reducing blood viscosity, which is the thickness of the blood, allowing it to flow more easily through narrowed blood vessels. It is often prescribed for patients with peripheral arterial disease, and it can help alleviate symptoms such as pain, cramping, and fatigue in the legs.
Pentyl is a prefix used in organic chemistry to denote a five-carbon chain or group. It is derived from the Greek word "pente", meaning five.
Penuche is a type of American candy that is a variant of toffee. It is typically made with brown sugar, butter, and vanilla, and often has a smooth and creamy texture.
