Sulfamethoxypyridazine is a sulfa drug that inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting the synthesis of folic acid, which is essential for DNA and RNA production. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of urinary infections and infectious diseases. Sulfamethoxypyridazine interacts with other drugs, such as oral contraceptives, to increase their blood levels. This drug also has a matrix effect on urine samples, which can be used to detect the presence of bacteria. The matrix effect is due to its hydrophobic nature and ability to form aggregates with other compounds. Sulfamethoxypyridazine is used in wastewater treatment plants as an analytical method for nitrogen atoms.

2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine is a hydrophobic compound that is not soluble in water. It has a bound form and can be titrated with calorimetry. 2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine is synthesized by reacting 2,2,4-trimethylpentane with methoxyacetone in the presence of sodium methylate. The compound has been detected as an odorant in numerous plant species and is believed to play a role in plant physiology. 2-Isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine has been shown to have potent antiviral activity against infectious diseases such as HIV, herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), and varicella zoster virus (VZV). This specific antiviral activity may be due to its ability to bind fatty acids by hydrogen bonds, which may interfere with the synthesis of viral membranes.

Bosentan is a potent inhibitor of the uptake of organic anions. It is used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and has been shown to be effective against pravastatin-resistant HIV protease inhibitors, such as saquinavir, quinidine, and rosuvastatin. Bosentan inhibits uptake by binding to the transporter protein at a site that does not overlap with the binding site for organic anion substrates. This leads to a change in kinetic parameters for substrates, such as pravastatin and saquinavir. The binding site on bosentan may also be elucidated through monolayer experiments with efflux transporters.

3,4-Diethoxybenzylalcohol is a metabolite produced by the fungus Ustilago maydis. It has been shown to have pleiotropic effects on the metabolism of the organism. 3,4-Diethoxybenzylalcohol is involved in lignin biosynthesis and bond cleavage reactions. In addition to functioning as an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway, it is involved in the nature of the basidiomycete cell wall and also plays a role in carbon source utilization.

3-(2-Fluoroethoxy)Propanenitrile is a chemical with toxic properties. It is classified as a fluoroacetic acid and has been used in the production of other chemicals. Fluoroacetic acid is toxic to humans, showing signs of skin irritation, respiratory tract irritation, and kidney damage. 3-(2-Fluoroethoxy)Propanenitrile is not found naturally and has been sponsored by many companies.
