3,4-Diethoxyphenylacetonitrile is an intermediate that is used in the synthesis of drotaverine. It can also be used to synthesize catechol, which is a medicine used to treat depression and anxiety. 3,4-Diethoxyphenylacetonitrile can be chloromethylated with phosphorus pentachloride to produce 3,4-diethoxyphenylacetic acid. This product has been used in the synthesis of sodium cyanide and catechol hydrochloride.

N-Allyl-N-(4-cyano-2-chlorophenyl)acetamide is a high quality reagent that has been used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fine chemicals, useful scaffolds and building blocks. It is also a versatile building block that can be used to synthesize high quality compounds with a wide range of functionalities. N-Allyl-N-(4-cyano-2-chlorophenyl)acetamide is a speciality chemical that can be used for research purposes. This compound has been shown to produce reactions with other compounds, such as nitrobenzene, to generate useful products.

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.
