3,5-Dimethylphenyl Isothiocyanate is a sulfur analogue that has the same molecular weight and chemical properties as 3,5-dimethylthiophenol. It is used to derivatize organic compounds with thiol groups via reactions with aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic systems. The enantiomer of this compound is called S-(+)-3,5-dimethylphenyl isothiocyanate.

3-Pyridin-4-ylaniline is a chemotherapeutic that can be used to treat cancer. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumors in mice with leukemia, and it inhibits the replication of human cancer cells in vitro. The chemical structure of 3-Pyridin-4-ylaniline includes a nitrogen atom connected to an aromatic ring. The nitrogen atom is also bonded to two ligands, which are pyridazine and carbonyl groups. 3-Pyridin-4-ylaniline binds to purines, a type of molecule that are found in DNA and RNA. This binding prevents the incorporation of purines into DNA and inhibits cancer cell proliferation by blocking DNA synthesis.

3,5-Dimethylpyrazole-1-carboximidamide hydrochloride is a test compound that can be used in enzyme preparations. It inhibits glyoxalase, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of glyoxal and lysine residues, preventing the formation of advanced glycation end products. 3,5-Dimethylpyrazole-1-carboximidamide hydrochloride has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) replication with high specificity for the aminoguanidine (AGA) site on VSV RNA polymerase. The mechanism for this inhibition is not fully understood; however, it is thought to involve the primary amines on 3,5-dimethylpyrazole-1-carboximidamide hydrochloride reacting with lysine residues on VSV RNA polymerase. This binding prevents amino acid activation and subsequent incorporation into the growing viral

N-(Pyridin-2-yl)prop-2-enamide is a synthetic compound that reacts with ethylene to form a fluorescent copolymer. It is activated by radiation and has a high quantum yield of fluorescence, which makes it useful for the detection of ethylene in the environment. N-(Pyridin-2-yl)prop-2-enamide has also been shown to have hydrophobic properties and can bind to biotin. This compound is an excellent monomer for supramolecular polymerization and can be used for the synthesis of polymers with interesting optical properties.
