3,5-Dihydroxybenzaldehyde (DHBA) is a plant metabolite that is classified as a phenolic compound. It is found in many plants and has important biological functions such as the production of carotenoids or the cleavage of carotenoid to form other compounds. DHBA can be extracted from plant tissue with hydrochloric acid or carbon sources. It has been shown that DHBA inhibits the growth of soil bacteria by binding to amines and thus preventing them from reacting with substrates. This may be due to its ability to act as an electron donor, which could also explain its inhibitory activity on carotenoid cleavage.

Glycine is a buffering agent that can be used in electrophoresis for protein samples. It has an optimal pH range of 2.2-3.6 and a pKa of 2.35.

3-Hydroxy-5-methylpyridine (3HMP) is a chemical substance that has been classified as an amine. It is a product of the metabolism of purines, which are nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA. 3HMP is produced by aerogenic bacteria (such as Enterobacter), and can be used to estimate the number of these bacteria present in water samples. 3HMP has been shown to have antiviral properties against influenza virus, and can be used as a biomarker for the presence of other viruses in animals. 3HMP also has mineralization properties, which have been studied extensively, particularly with regards to pancreatic disease.

4-Hydrazinobenzoic acid is a chemical compound that is used as an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. It prevents the formation of hydrogen bonds between nucleotides in DNA, which prevents the synthesis of new DNA strands. 4-Hydrazinobenzoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells by reactivating the tumor suppressor genes p21 and Rb1, which are responsible for regulating cell cycle progression. This compound also inhibits the production of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in reaction solutions containing sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).

Zinc pyrithione is a chemical compound that can be used as an antifungal agent. It has been shown to have genotoxic activity in vitro and in vivo. Zinc pyrithione binds to the surface of the fungal cell wall and inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a component of the fungal cell membrane. This binding prevents the formation of an ergosterol-zinc complex with cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are required for sterol biosynthesis, leading to inhibition of energy metabolism. The model system for zinc pyrithione is a mixture of 1-hydroxypyridine-2-thione (1HP) and zinc ions in water. Some studies have shown that zinc pyrithione can cause long-term toxicity, including glycol ether toxicity, when applied topically on hair or skin. Acute toxicities may include skin irritation or contact dermatitis from shampoos containing this substance.

Isononyl alcohol is a polycarboxylic acid that has been used in the treatment of skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. It has been shown to penetrate the skin and stimulate the production of sebum. Isononyl alcohol is also used as a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other plastics, which increases their flexibility. This chemical also has a hydrophobic effect, which may be due to its hydroxyl group. The unsaturated alkyl chain on this chemical also makes it susceptible to oxidation by ozone in air and water vapor in air. Isononyl alcohol is metabolized by humans through conjugation with glucuronic acid or sulfate esters.

2-Phenoxyaniline is a nitro compound that can be converted to the corresponding palladium complexes. It is an inhibitor of the acylation reaction, which is a type of chemical reaction in which an organic molecule reacts with an acid. The inhibition of this reaction has been shown to have an effect on heart disease, specifically by lowering cholesterol levels and reducing atherosclerosis. 2-Phenoxyaniline has also been shown to inhibit the activation energy for electron transfer reactions, making it useful as a catalyst in analytical methods. 2-Phenoxyaniline also undergoes vibrational spectroscopy when exposed to liquid chromatography and other analytical methods.
