2-Amino-1-methoxypropane (AMP) is a bifunctional amine that has been used as a diluent for lipase. It has been shown to have deprotective properties against metal surfaces and to be able to react with the nucleophilic group of an amine, which is useful in organic synthesis. The constant temperature of AMP, which is useful in organic synthesis, was obtained by recycling it through a constant temperature bath. This process also prevents the formation of unwanted products during the reaction.

1-Amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC) is a precursor of ethylene, which is a plant hormone that regulates many aspects of plant growth and development. ACC can be converted to ethylene by the enzyme ACC synthase. The conversion of ACC to ethylene is facilitated by the enzymes ACC oxidase and ACC deaminase. Ethylene has been shown to regulate the expression of genes involved in photosynthesis, protein synthesis, and other metabolic pathways. Ethylene also modulates physiological processes such as fruit ripening, leaf senescence, and stomatal closure. This molecule participates in a variety of biological reactions including receptor activity and protein degradation via ubiquitin ligases. It also regulates calcium levels in cells through its role in signal transduction pathways.

AMP, also known as 2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, is a buffering agent with an optimal pH range of 9.0-10.5 and a pKa of 9.7. It is used in biochemical assays, enzyme activity tests, and cosmetic formulations.

8-Chloro-1-octanol is an organic compound with a hydroxyl group at the 8th position of the octane ring. It has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth in vitro by binding to fatty acid biosynthesis enzymes and preventing the formation of fatty acids, which are vital for bacterial cell wall synthesis. The 8-chloro-1-octanol also inhibits the population growth of bacteria in corneal epithelium, leading to reduced biofilm formation. This compound has been shown to have regulatory effects on microbial populations. 8-Chloro-1-octanol is currently under study for its potential use as a topical antibacterial agent for treating corneal infections.
