1-Deoxy-1-nitro-L-galactitol is a compound that has been shown to inhibit serine protease and glutaminyl cyclase activity. It is commonly used in laboratory settings as a potassium substitute in media formulations. This compound belongs to the class of monosaccharides known as glutaminyl derivatives. It has been studied for its potential as an inhibitor of nafamostat, a serine protease inhibitor used in the treatment of pancreatitis and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Additionally, 1-Deoxy-1-nitro-L-galactitol has been investigated for its potential as a disinfectant and as an adrenergic receptor agonist. Preliminary studies have also suggested antiviral properties against certain viruses. Further research is needed to fully understand the potential applications of this compound.

It can be used in the treatment of cancer and diabetes due to its high purity and fluorination. 9,10-Dimethoxy pterocarpane 3β O glucoside is a sugar or saccharide that can be found in plants such as the roots of tobacco plants. The modification of this sugar by methylation and glycosylation makes it more

3,4-O-Isopropylidene-D-galactal is a modified form of galactal. This compound is a methylated derivative of D-galactal that has been synthesized by the click reaction. It can be used in the synthesis of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. 3,4-O-Isopropylidene-D-galactal is a high purity compound with a CAS number of 124477-12-9.

2-Deoxy-scyllo-inosose is a biochemical with an unknown function. It is not a substrate for any known enzyme, but has been shown to be a substrate for the synthesis of corynebacterium glutamicum. The reaction mechanism of 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose is still unclear, but it has been proposed that this molecule undergoes dehydration and then undergoes an acid catalyzed aldol cyclization to form 3-aminohexanol. This reaction produces fluorescence resonance energy transfer in group p2 subtilisin.
2DOS is also an antimicrobial agent which exhibits activity against Gram positive bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecalis, and Bacillus subtilis.

1-Deoxy-L-idonojirimycin hydrochloride is a chaperone that is structurally related to the natural substrate, L-idonojirimycin. It has been found to interact with recombinant human Hsp70 and Hsp90. 1-Deoxy-L-idonojirimycin hydrochloride enhances the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of these chaperones in vitro. The structural analysis of this compound revealed that it binds to both Hsp70 and Hsp90, which may be due to its ability to mimic the natural substrate's binding site on these chaperones.

Inositol nicotinate is a combination of two substances, inositol and nicotinate. It is used to reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL) levels. Inositol nicotinate has been shown to increase the surface area of mitochondria, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the release of fatty acids from fat cells. Inositol nicotinate also increases magnesium levels in cells and induces mitochondrial functions. This drug has been tested in cell culture for its effects on skin cells and found that it can reduce the amount of x-linked adrenoleukodystrophy protein (XALD), a substance that accumulates in patients with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, an inherited disorder that causes progressive damage to the nervous system. The drugs also have been shown to have beneficial effects on cholesterol metabolism, reducing LDL cholesterol levels, as well as inhibiting platelet aggregation.

Losartan N1-glucuronide is a glucuronidated metabolite of losartan that is produced naturally in the human body. It is converted from losartan by the enzyme UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, which is found in humans and other animals. The rate of glucuronidation varies between individuals and is determined by genetic factors. Losartan N1-glucuronide has shown to be an effective inhibitor of angiotensin II, with an IC50 value of 1.4 μM. This inhibition can be reversed by dobutamine or recombinant human UGT2B7 enzyme, which are both competitive inhibitors of the enzyme UGT2B7. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been used to study the kinetic properties of this inhibitor and its effect on dobutamine-induced changes in cardiac function.
