3-Prop-2-ynyloxy-benzaldehyde is a crystalline compound that can be used as an intermediate for the synthesis of azides. The crystal structure of 3-prop-2-ynyloxybenzaldehyde was determined by X-ray crystallography. This molecule has four nitro groups, which are in the form of methylenes. The active methylene is a tetradentate amine, which coordinates to the chloride ion and forms a supramolecular complex with it. The chloroformate group is also coordinated to this chloride ion. The azide group is coordinated to the chloride ion through an N–N bond, and the nitro group is coordinated through an N–O bond. This molecule has a high degree of symmetry due to its rigid geometry and planarity, which helps in its efficient synthesis methods.

1-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)ethanol (1DMPE) is a phenolic compound that is used in the production of dyes. It has strong redox potential and can be easily oxidized to form 1,2-dihydroxybenzene. This compound is susceptible to environmental pollution and also has the potential to react with other chemicals to form toxic products. 1DMPE can undergo acidolysis with trifluoroacetic acid or hydroxylation reactions with hydrogen peroxide or sodium perborate in the presence of a metal catalyst. These reactions produce carbonyl groups as reaction products and are kinetically controlled by activation energies. The mechanisms of these reactions have not been well studied, but they are thought to be due to kinetic effects.

2,3-Dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridin-1-one is a kinase inhibitor that binds to the ATP site of the enzyme. Abnormal cell growth, cancer and other disorders are associated with abnormal cell proliferation. Kinases are enzymes that regulate cellular processes by adding phosphate groups to proteins. Thus, 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridin-1-one is used in the treatment of diseases such as leukemia and lymphoma. 2,3-Dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,4--c]pyridin-1--one inhibits abnormal cell growth by blocking signal transduction pathways in cancer cells. It also inhibits protein synthesis and has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of human myeloid leukemia cells in culture.

N-Hydroxypyridine-3-carboxamide is a hydroxylated metabolite of nicotinic acid that has been shown to have skin conditioning properties. The optimum pH for this product is 3.5 and its biological properties include an inhibitory effect on viral replication and a galacturonic acid complex. N-Hydroxypyridine-3-carboxamide also exhibits a high degree of hemolytic activity, which may be due to the methyl nicotinate moiety or the carbonyl oxygens present in this compound.

1-Methylpiperidine-3-carboxylic acid (1MP) is a neurotoxic compound that can be synthesized in vivo by the oxidation of choline. It has been shown to have a natriuretic and diuretic effect on the kidney, as well as stimulating the release of atrial natriuretic peptide. 1MP also has an agonistic effect on the dopamine receptors, and is a competitive antagonist for the binding of betaines to skin cells. Betaines are substances that are found in many foods, including wheat germ and spinach, which have been linked to nerve cell death in rats.

2-Benzylbutanoic acid is a molecule that belongs to the class of β-amino acids. It is used as a drug for treating chronic pulmonary disease, and in pharmaceutical preparations for treating bowel disease, fatty acid metabolism disorders, and inflammatory diseases. 2-Benzylbutanoic acid has been shown to inhibit the activity of enzymes such as hydroxylases, which are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are involved in many physiological processes including pain perception and inflammation. 2-Benzylbutanoic acid has also been shown to have hypoglycemic effects on mice with diabetes mellitus type 1 when administered orally or intraperitoneally.

3-phenylpentanoic acid is an impurity of 2-phenylbutyric acid, which is used in the synthesis of some pharmaceuticals. It is also an optical isomer of 3-phenylpropanoic acid. The compound has been shown to inhibit the growth of pseudomonas strains and may be useful in the treatment of neurotoxicity. The precise mechanism by which 3-phenylpentanoic acid inhibits bacterial growth is not known, but it has been speculated that it may inhibit the synthesis of proteins, RNA, or DNA. This compound can be synthesized chemoenzymatically from 2-phenylethyl esters and proton donors, such as ethylene glycol and formaldehyde. The enantiomers can be separated by chiral HPLC.

5-(2-Methylpropyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid is a human hepatocyte receptor ligand that binds to the imidazole site on the human liver. It has been shown to have high affinity for this receptor and is able to antagonize the binding of agonists such as histamine and serotonin. 5-(2-Methylpropyl)thiophene-2-carboxylic acid has also been shown to be potent in blocking the activation of G proteins in human liver microsomes. This compound is an imidazole derivative that can bind to both receptors, which may account for its high affinity. The ligand is truncated at its C terminal end, which may account for its low affinity but high efficacy.

4-Cyclopropylbutanoic acid is an organic compound that belongs to the class of fatty acids. It is a natural product that can be found in muscle tissue and has been shown to have antibacterial activity against the soil fungus, Oxysporum ferrugineum, and the plant pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f. 4-Cyclopropylbutanoic acid is also used as a precursor for other compounds that are important in the biosynthesis of lipids and terpenes.

2-Amino-1-(2-naphthyl)-1-ethanol (2NPE) is an atypical amino alcohol that is used as a pharmacological agent. It has been shown to have glucuronide and phenolic hydroxyl groups, which are reactive metabolites. 2NPE may be carcinogenic due to its ability to inhibit the activity of the enzyme glutathione reductase, which is involved in the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides. The metabolic pathways for 2NPE include sulfation by phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can lead to a residue of phenolic compounds in humans and animals. 2NPE has been found to have a thymic effect similar to natural n-substituted amino alcohols.
