4-Amino-N-(2-aminophenyl)-benzamide (4ANAP) is a small molecule that inhibits inflammatory bowel disease. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and to be a potential biomarker for colorectal adenocarcinoma. 4ANAP binds to the EGF receptor on the cell surface, which prevents its activation by EGF and thereby blocks cellular proliferation. 4ANAP has been shown to bind with high affinity to other receptors such as those found in autoimmune diseases and cancer cells. The anti-inflammatory properties of 4ANAP are due to its ability to inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL1β, IL6, TNFα, and IL8. This drug also inhibits the production of reactive oxygen species in neutrophils and macrophages, thereby reducing oxidative injury in inflamed tissues.

Spiro[1,3-dioxolane-2,8'-pentacyclo[5.4.0.0²,⁶.0³,¹⁰.0⁵,⁹]undecan]-11'-one is an organic compound that has a ketal group in its structure. It is also a hydrogen bond donor and a reductive coupling agent with properties of intramolecular hydrogen bonding and dimerization. The intramolecular hydrogen can be found in the ring of the spiro[1,3-dioxolane-2,8'-pentacyclo[5.4.0.0²,⁶.0³,¹⁰.0⁵,⁹]undecan]-11'-one that is bonded to the ketal group as well as on the benzene ring on the other side of the molecule when it is bound to another spiro[1

N-(3-Cyanophenyl)acetamide is a hydrogen-bonding molecule that has been detected in the gas phase. It has also been observed to interact with water, forming hydrogen bonding interactions and solvatochromism. The equilibrium of N-(3-cyanophenyl)acetamide can be shifted by changing the solvent conditions and pH. This molecule has three conformations when it is in the gaseous phase, including a planar conformation. In addition, N-(3-cyanophenyl)acetamide can be used as a probe for determining hydrogen bonding interactions and conformations due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with other molecules.

2-N-Ethylpyridine-2,3-diamine is a small molecule inhibitor that binds to the ATP binding site of HIV reverse transcriptase and inhibits its activity. It has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of human tumor cells in culture. This compound also prevents the formation of new virus particles and leads to a decrease in viral load. 2-N-Ethylpyridine-2,3-diamine does not bind to the same site as nevirapine, but instead binds to a different amino acid residue on the reverse transcriptase enzyme called Y181C. Residues at this location are found in all HIV strains resistant to nevirapine.

4-Chloro-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one is a molecule with analgesic activity. It has been shown to produce analgesia in the rat tail flick and hot plate tests, as well as anti-nociceptive effects in the mouse formalin test. The analgesic effect of 4-chloro-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one is thought to be due to its ability to inhibit the release of excitatory neurotransmitters from peripheral sensory neurons. This molecule has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and is an intermediate for the synthesis of other drugs, such as diclofenac sodium.
