6-Chloro-4-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline is a vasorelaxant that blocks potassium channels in the cell membrane. 6CHMQ has been shown to inhibit calcium and potassium channels, which are involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. It also inhibits glibenclamide binding to pancreatic beta cells, which is an action that contributes to the anti-diabetic effects of this drug. 6CHMQ has been shown to block voltage gated potassium channels and may have a role in regulating blood pressure by inhibiting the release of norepinephrine.

2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4-methylpentane-2,4-diol is an analog of 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methylpentane that has been shown to be a CB2 receptor agonist, which may be useful in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The structure of this compound is similar to that of the natural ligand for the CB2 receptor, 2-(6′-hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol). This compound has also been shown to act as an agonist for toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and as a sodium citrate synthase inhibitor. This molecule can be synthesized from two molecules of acetone with a chiral catalyst by using asymmetric synthesis.

3-Methyl-4-heptanone is an antibacterial agent that has been shown to have a broad spectrum of activity against bacteria. It is a reactive molecule and can form various products during the reaction with other molecules. 3-Methyl-4-heptanone has been found to be effective against Staphylococcus, Songaricum, and other genera of bacteria. 3-Methyl-4-heptanone is a fatty acid that possesses a primary alcohol group and one or more oxygenated functional groups such as hydroxyl (-OH) or alkoxy (-OCH3). 3-Methyl-4-heptanone also possesses 16 carbon atoms, which are arranged in three rings.

2-Phenylamino-propionic acid is an analogue of acrylic acid with two methyl groups on the terminal carbon. It is a colorless liquid that can be synthesized by the reaction of acrylic acid with sodium amide in the presence of benzene. 2-Phenylamino-propionic acid has been shown to undergo homogeneous and cyclic reactions, as well as elimination and monoxide reactions. The experimental value obtained for its rate constant, k, was found to be 1.6 × 10^6 L/mol*s using acrylic acid as a substrate. This product may also be used as a catalyst for radical reactions or in catalytic pyrolysis reactions.

Prop-2-en-1-yl 2-methylpropanoate is a hydrocarbon with two hydroxyl groups. It is a reactive, functional group that is monosubstituted by fluorine atoms. The carboxylate group of prop-2-en-1-yl 2-methylpropanoate has a divalent hydrocarbon structure and contains one reactive, functional group. Prop-2-en-1-yl 2-methylpropanoate can be found as bound form in endophytic fungi and in the leaves of plants. It can also be found as an unbound form in organic solvents and fatty acids.
