N-Methyl-1H-indole-2-carboxamide is a molecule that has been optimized for antibacterial activity. It belongs to an indole family of molecules and has been shown to be active against the fungus, Neosartorya fischeri. In theory, this molecule could have potential as a drug agent for the prevention of bacterial infection. The optimization process was based on parameters such as carboxamide functional theory, nmr spectra, and potentials. The experimental data collected from NMR spectra and antibacterial activity confirmed that this molecule had a high degree of antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli.

2-Acetamidothiazole-5-sulfonyl chloride (2A5C) is a sulfonamide anticancer drug that exhibits cytotoxic activity. 2A5C is an indole derivative that has been synthesized for the purpose of developing a new class of anticancer agents. This drug has shown to have significant anti-tumor activity in molecular docking studies and can be used as a lead compound for future research.

3-(aminocarbonyl)benzenesulfonyl chloride (3-ACBSCl) is a compound that inhibits the life cycle of the HIV virus. It is a hexamer and binds to viral proteins, inhibiting the process of viral assembly. 3-ACBSCl helps to optimize lead compounds for antiviral drugs. This inhibitor has been shown to be active against HIV-1, and also inhibits other viruses that have an analogous life cycle. 3-ACBSCl has been shown to inhibit HIV-1 infection by binding to the capsid protein and preventing it from assembling into a functional virus particle.

2-Methylene-1,3-dioxepane is a biodegradable polymer that is used in the production of polyesters for use in film and packaging. It is synthesized by cationic polymerization, which involves the formation of ester linkages. 2-Methylene-1,3-dioxepane has been shown to be biocompatible in cell culture and can be used as a growth factor for tissue engineering. The melting point of this polymer is dependent on the molecular weight and it undergoes phase transition at temperatures around 130°C. This polymer degrades through hydrolysis when exposed to alkali or hydrogen chloride.2-Methylene-1,3-dioxepane has been observed to have an FTIR spectrum containing carbonyl absorption bands at 1710 cm−1 and 1650 cm−1. This material also displays a 13C NMR spectrum with peaks at -18 ppm and -7 ppm

2-(Naphthalen-2-ylformamido)acetic acid (Nafamid) is a toxic agent that can be used to induce experimental diabetes in animals. Nafamid is metabolized to benzoate and then to chloride, which can be detected in urine. Chromatographic experiments showed that Nafamid was not metabolized by rats or mice, but was eliminated as the mercapturic acid (MNA) and mercapturic acid glucuronide (MAG). MNA has been isolated from urine samples of rats injected with Nafamid. The metabolic pathways for Nafamid are the same for animals and humans.

Iodomethyl methyl carbonate is a carbapenem antibiotic that has been shown to have anti-influenza activity. It inhibits the cap-dependent endonuclease of the influenza virus, which prevents viral replication and release of new viruses. Iodomethyl methyl carbonate also inhibits the HIV integrase enzyme and may be used as an inhibitor for the treatment of HIV infection. This compound has antibacterial activity against bacteria that contain metallo-β-lactamase, such as Enterobacteriaceae. Iodomethyl methyl carbonate is stable in organic solvents, making it useful for chemical reactions.

2,4-Dichloroquinoline-3-carbonitrile is a nitrosourea compound that inhibits cancer cells. It is activated by the addition of a reducing agent such as triethyl orthoformate and then reacts with an amine to form the corresponding N,N'-dichloroquinoline. The product of this reaction inhibits cancer cells by binding to DNA and inhibiting RNA synthesis. 2,4-Dichloroquinoline-3-carbonitrile has been shown to be effective against leukemia cells in vitro.

3-Oxo-3-(3-thienyl)propanenitrile is a metabolite of 3-oxothiopropanal. It is an analog of prostaglandin, which has been shown to have antiinflammatory properties. 3-Oxo-3-(3-thienyl)propanenitrile has been used in the treatment of adjuvant arthritis and was found to inhibit the production of prostaglandins.
