S-Methyl thiohexanoate is a fatty acid that is the product of the serine protease activity of the potato tuber. It has been shown to have a transcriptional regulatory effect on carbon source utilization and natural compounds production, which may be due to its ability to alter the phospholipid composition in plant cells. S-Methyl thiohexanoate can inhibit or induce natural compounds production depending on the concentration used. The effects of this compound are mediated by its ability to form hydrogen bonds with hydroxyl groups in phospholipids, altering their configuration and consequently disrupting membrane integrity. S-Methyl thiohexanoate also has been shown to act as an electron donor for covalent polymerization reactions catalyzed by DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases. This may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with phosphate groups in nucleic acids, altering their configuration and consequently disrupting DNA or RNA synthesis.

1-Phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde is an antibacterial agent that has been shown to have bactericidal activity against bacteria. It inhibits the growth of bacteria by binding to the pyrazole ring in the bacterial cell wall and blocking the formation of a hydrogen bond. 1-Phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde has been shown to be effective against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Ciprofloxacin resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, but not against Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium avium complex.

Demeton-S-methyl is a chemical pesticide that belongs to the group of organophosphates. It inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity and is used for the control of insects. Demeton-S-methyl is an anticholinesterase agent that binds reversibly to the active site of acetylcholinesterase, inhibiting the enzyme's activity. This inhibition leads to accumulation of acetylcholine in nerve tissue and increased transmission at cholinergic synapses. Demeton-S-methyl has been shown to be acutely toxic in rats, mice, and dogs by inhalation or ingestion. Acute toxicities are more severe with higher dosages as well as with repeated exposures.

D,L-Threo-b-hydroxy aspartic acid is a stereoselective synthetic amino acid that has been used to study the uptake and hydrolysis of D,L-threo-b-hydroxy aspartic acid by rat brain synaptosomes. It has also been used in the synthesis of an L-alanine analogue with the same stereochemistry at the chiral center. The stereoselective synthesis of this compound is achieved by epimerization reaction using d-alanine as a starting material. Threo bhda has been shown to inhibit glutamate release from neurons and stimulate GABA release in synaptosomes, which may be due to its ability to bind to ion channels. Threo bhda has also been found to inhibit the binding of radioactive thymidine to calf thymus DNA with a high degree of stereoselectivity.

2-(2-Methoxyphenoxy)ethanol (2-MPE) is a metabolite of propanediol, which is a precursor in the synthesis of polyurethanes. 2-MPE can be oxidized by monooxygenases to form syringyl and other reactive metabolites. Basic hydrolysis may also produce monomers such as phenols, alcohols, and carboxylic acids. Syringyl is one of the metabolic products of 2-MPE, which has been shown to be resistant to degradation by basidiomycete fungi.

Acetyl-L-proline methyl ester is a conformationally restricted chiral compound. It is an ester of the amino acid L-proline and acetyl chloride. The conformational restriction in this molecule may be due to the interaction between the amide group and the methyl ester side chain. This chemical is used in collagen production as well as a theoretical model for other molecules with similar structural properties. Acetyl-L-proline methyl ester has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which are thought to be due to its ability to stabilize collagen fibers and inhibit the formation of matrix metalloproteinases.

Phthaloyl-L-alanine is a molecule with a hydrochloric acid group and a carbonyl group. It has been shown to have the ability to bind to peptidyl molecules and immobilize them, leading to an inhibition of the reaction mechanism. This process can be induced by enzymatic inactivation or by hydrogen bonding with chloride. The cisplatin-induced apoptosis of cancer cells has been demonstrated using patch-clamp technique on human erythrocytes. Caspases are proteins that are activated during apoptosis and have been found to interact with Phthaloyl-L-alanine in vitro. Molecular modeling studies suggest that Phthaloyl-L-alanine may inhibit caspases by binding to the enzyme's active site.
