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.

10-Hydroxydecanoic acid is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has the ability to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. 10-Hydroxydecanoic acid has been shown to be effective in treating inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and psoriasis. It is also used to treat lacrimal gland inflammation, and caco-2 cells have been shown to have a maximal response to this drug. 10-Hydroxydecanoic acid is synthesized from trans-10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid by an acylation reaction with silver ions in a nonpolar solvent, followed by heating. This compound can be separated from other fatty acids using an analytical technique called thin layer chromatography (TLC).

N-2-Pyrimidinyl-glycine is a natural amino acid that is present in many protein mixtures. N-2-Pyrimidinyl-glycine has been shown to have affinity for the lipid bilayer of membranes, which may be due to its ability to act as a carbamate. The transport of this amino acid across membranes has been studied computationally and experimentally. Experimental results show that N-2-pyrimidinylglycine can be used as an absorbent for liquids such as oil or water. The molecule has also been shown to have spectroscopic properties, which make it useful in studies related to natural amino acids.

1H-Benzo[d]imidazole-2-sulfonamide is a transcriptional regulator that is used in the treatment of bowel disease. It has been shown to be active against autoimmune diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis. 1H-Benzo[d]imidazole-2-sulfonamide regulates gene expression by binding to response elements in the promoter region of certain genes. The drug is an inhibitor of human serum proteases, which may lead to decreased inflammation and improved symptoms of inflammation bowel disease. The drug also has pharmacokinetic properties that make it suitable for oral administration.
