2-Methoxypyridin-3-ol is a nitro compound that can be used as a lead compound to produce an inhibitor of oxime reductase. It can also be used as a pyridine ring, which is an important functional group in many organic compounds. 2-Methoxypyridin-3-ol has the ability to inhibit the enzyme oxime reductase, which catalyzes the formation of hydroxyl radicals from nitrosating agents and hydroxylamine, leading to their detoxification. This substance has been shown to be efficient in the orientation of nitro groups and ethers.

1-(2-Methylprop-2-en-1-yl)piperidin-4-amine is an inhibitor that blocks the activity of ion channels. It is a competitive antagonist at the NMDA receptor and has been shown to inhibit the binding of glutamate, which is a neurotransmitter involved in synaptic transmission. 1-(2-Methylprop-2-en-1-yl)piperidin-4-amine also inhibits β 2 -adrenergic receptors and has been shown to be a potent activator of G protein coupled receptors. This chemical may also be used as a research tool for studying the effects of ligands on cell biology, peptides, pharmacology, or life science. It has high purity and CAS No. 1082454-34-9.

The Opn4 antagonist is a chemical that blocks the activity of the protein melanopsin, which is involved in regulating circadian rhythms. It has been shown to inhibit melatonin synthesis and muscle fiber contraction when applied intravitreally. These effects may be mediated by membrane channels that are activated by chloride ions. The effect of the Opn4 antagonist on photoreceptor cells is not yet known.
