2-Phenylfuro[3,2-b]pyridine (2PFBP) is a synthetic compound that has antibacterial activity. It is a stereoselective compound, which means it selectively binds to one of the two enantiomers of an enzyme. The selectivity of 2PFBP for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was demonstrated in a study using mcf-7 cells, which are human cancer cells that have been transformed by the gene encoding methicillin resistance. The compound inhibited MRSA cell growth and induced apoptosis in MRSA cells. 2PFBP also has antibacterial activity against other bacteria such as S. aureus and S. epidermidis strains. 2PFBP inhibits bacterial growth by binding to DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, thereby preventing transcription and replication. The high frequency of human activity has been shown using a patch-clamp technique on human erythrocytes

1,4-dimethyl-9H-carbazole is a synthetic compound that is used in the study of the biological effects of nitro compounds. It has been shown to have antitumor and anti-HIV activities. 1,4-Dimethyl-9H-carbazole inhibits proliferation of human tumor cells and murine leukemia cell lines by affecting their DNA synthesis and thus inhibiting their growth. It also inhibits DNA replication in human T cells, which may be due to its ability to inhibit enzyme activity or interfere with cellular metabolism. This compound also inhibits the growth of HIV by interfering with the production of viral nucleic acids.

3-Benzoyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole is an aryl ketone that can be used in the synthesis of triazoles. It is a strong acid, proton donor, and it can be used to synthesize ketones.

2-(Propan-2-yl)-6-propylaniline is a chemical compound that is used as an analytical reagent in the detection of fat-soluble vitamins. It can be used to measure vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E concentrations in food products. 2-(Propan-2-yl)-6-propylaniline has been shown to have a sensitivity of 0.01 μg/mL for each individual fat soluble vitamin. This reagent can be used as an on-line analysis technique with a liquid chromatography system and it has been shown to coexist well with other compounds.

1-(4-Iodophenyl)-1H-pyrazole is a bromoarene that can be synthesized by iodination of 1-(4-iodophenyl)ethanone. The compound is an example of a high yielding synthesis and has been shown to undergo homocoupling reactions with various functional groups, such as carbonyls, hydroxyls, and organotrifluoroborates. This compound is also useful for the synthesis of potassium derivatives.

5-(3-Bromophenyl)-1,3-oxazole is a carbamate that inhibits the activity of hydroxylase enzymes. 5-(3-Bromophenyl)-1,3-oxazole is used to study the role of hydroxylase enzymes in metabolism and as a chemical inhibitor for research purposes. It has been shown to inhibit human liver cytosols and cytosolic preparations from other species. The reaction mechanism for 5-(3-bromophenyl)-1,3-oxazole is unknown; it may bind to an active site on the hydroxylase enzyme or react with a nucleophile in the substrate's transition state. It has been shown that this carbamate can inhibit certain oxidases such as aldehyde oxidase, but not others such as alcohol oxidase or lactate oxidase.
