<p>2,​3-​Dihydro-3-​thiopheneacetic acid 1,​1-​dioxide is a nucleophilic reagent that can be used to synthesize amides. It reacts with amines to form 2,​3-​dihydro-3-​thiophenecarboxylic acid 1,​1-diamide. Reactions of this compound with heterocycles such as pyridine and quinoline result in the formation of heterocyclic amines.</p>

<p>Sodium 2-hydroxyethoxyacetate is a cross-linker that is used to immobilize proteins and enzymes. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. This chemical can also be used as a cross-linking agent for the production of biodegradable polymers. The synthesis of this chemical was first reported in 1874 and it has been used for copolymerization with other compounds to form particles with potential biomedical applications.</p>

<p>2-Ethynyl-4-methylthiazole is a cell-based kinase inhibitor that binds to the ATP binding site on the enzyme and inhibits phosphorylation. It was shown to inhibit cell growth in vitro by interfering with the production of TGF-β, activin, and other growth factors. The inhibitory activity of 2-Ethynyl-4-methylthiazole is selective for receptor kinases and is not effective against alk5 kinase. This drug has been shown to be an inhibitor of cellular growth in vitro and may be useful for the treatment of cancer.</p>

<p>Naphthalene-2-carboximidamide is a benzamidine derivative that interacts with the active site of serine proteases. It was shown to have potent inhibitory potency against a number of proteinases, including urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and cathepsin G. The interaction of naphthalene-2-carboximidamide with uPA was specific and led to inhibition of its catalytic activity. Naphthalene-2-carboximidamide has been tested in clinical trials for the treatment of influenza.</p>

<p>Dicyclohexylmethanol is a trifunctional compound that contains a hydroxyl group, and can be used as a hydrogen bond donor or acceptor. The chemical structure of dicyclohexylmethanol can be seen in the figure below. Dicyclohexylmethanol has been used for sample preparation for hydrogen chloride gas. It has also been used to determine the concentration of blood ethanol levels and to measure blood pH in humans. Dicyclohexylmethanol is an important reactant in asymmetric synthesis reactions due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with both reactants.</p>
