2-p-Tolyloxazole is a soluble drug, which is a benzyl derivative of p-tolyloxazole. It has an acidic character and can be dissolved in solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, and acetone. 2-p-Tolyloxazole has been shown to be effective against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. 2-p-Tolyloxazole is also active against Gram negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The mechanism of action of this compound is not well understood but it is hypothesized that the drug interacts with the ribosome to inhibit protein synthesis.

4-Azidophenylacetic acid is a glutamate receptor antagonist that has been shown to be selective for the AMPA receptor. It has been shown to inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandin E2, from cells by inhibiting COX-2. 4-Azidophenylacetic acid also inhibits the binding of glutamate to its receptors and blocks NMDA receptors. The compound has been shown to be biodegradable, due to its reversible binding with proteins and nucleic acids. This drug has shown inhibitory potency against COX-2 and is being developed as an anti-inflammatory drug.

1-(Ethanesulfonyl)piperazine is an oxidation product of ethylsulfonyl. It is used to inhibit the synthesis of chemokines and proteins, which are involved in inflammation. 1-(Ethanesulfonyl)piperazine has been shown to cause the release of chemokines from human serum albumin and inhibit protein synthesis in gram-negative bacteria. The absorption spectra show that this compound is able to bind to albumin at the N-terminal site and S-site, which may account for its ability to inhibit protein synthesis. 1-(Ethanesulfonyl)piperazine is also able to interact with methoxy groups on s. aureus cells, preventing them from introducing themselves into human cells by binding to the surface of these cells and blocking their adhesion sites.

1-Carboxymethylcyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid is a crosslinker that can be used for the production of polymers. It is biodegradable and can be hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions. 1-Carboxymethylcyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid reacts with an alkynyl group to form a polycarboxylic acid. This reaction product may be a monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic acid. 1-Carboxymethylcyclopentane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid has been used as a viscosity enhancer and crosslinking agent for various polymers. This compound is also an effective polymerization initiator for the production of silicone elastomers.
