Tak-659 is an amide compound that inhibits the serine protease activity of a number of enzymes, including cathepsin B and L. Tak-659 has been shown to have inhibitory effects on inflammation in animal models by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines. Tak-659 has also been shown to impair protein synthesis in gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The mechanism for this inhibition is not entirely clear but may be due to tak-659 binding to the ribosomal RNA near the peptidyl transferase center, blocking the entry of amino acids into the ribosome. Tak-659 binds with high affinity to adenosine receptors and has been shown to reduce levels of inflammatory cytokines in mouse tumor cells.

5-Cyanoindole is a hydrophobic molecule that has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the trifluoroacetic acid-induced fluorescence in the presence of chloride ions. It is also able to bind peptides and has been used as an antimicrobial peptide. 5-Cyanoindole can be synthesized electrochemically or by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The synthesis of 5-cyanoindole can be achieved through a Friedel-Crafts reaction, followed by a hydrolysis with hydrogen peroxide and then a reduction with sodium borohydride.
