(e)-2-Methyl-3-phenylacrylaldehyde (E2PAA) is a tyrosinase inhibitor that has been shown to inhibit the production of melanin in vitro using human skin cells. E2PAA has been immobilized on magnesium oxide, which prevents it from being washed away by the buffer solution and allows for its use as a reusable catalyst. The uptake of E2PAA was found to be higher when compared to other compounds, such as cis-ddp (1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene), due to its hydrophobic nature. The molecular electrostatic potentials have been calculated for both cis-ddp and E2PAA, which showed that E2PAA has a slightly lower value than cis-ddp. These results indicate that E2PAA is more lipophilic than cis-ddp, which may explain its higher uptake in the skin cells. Structural studies have also

Phenylcyclopropylamine is an antimicrobial agent that is a prodrug of phenylhydrazine. It is used to treat inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and other rheumatic conditions, as well as cancer, lymphoproliferative disorders, and fatty acid metabolism disorders. Phenylcyclopropylamine inhibits the enzyme catalysis of ticagrelor by binding to the hydroxy group of the enzyme's active site. This irreversible inhibition prevents ticagrelor from breaking down arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Phenylcyclopropylamine is also used in magnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments to study histones H3 and H4 in cells infected with viruses or anhydrous sodium.

Ethyl 2-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate is a serotonin analog. It has been shown to have antidepressant properties and inhibit the reuptake of serotonin by the neurotransmitter transporter. This leads to an increase in serotonin levels in the brain, which may be due to its ability to act on 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors. The compound also acts as an antagonist at 5HT1A receptors, which may contribute to its antidepressant effects. In vivo activities of this drug have been confirmed using various animal models. Ethyl 2-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrrole-3--carboxylate is a lead compound for other potential antidepressants with similar activity.

Ethyl 4-azidobutanoate is a radiotracer that binds to the DNA of tumor cells. It has been shown to have high binding activity in xenograft models, which is mediated by the interaction between ethyl 4-azidobutanoate and nucleophilic sites on the DNA. This radiotracer also has a high specificity for tumors, with no detectable uptake in other tissues. Ethyl 4-azidobutanoate can be used as a diagnostic agent for detecting and quantifying radiation-induced damage in cells and tissues.
