2-Bromobenzaldoxime is a biologically active molecule that has been shown to have significant physiological activities. It is an aldehyde, which is metabolized by the liver or kidneys into the corresponding alcohol, 2-bromoethanol. 2-Bromobenzaldoxime has been shown to be synthesized from diethyl ether and potassium phosphate in the presence of amino acids. The reaction proceeds with dehydration of the intermediate bromohydrin to form an aldoxime. This molecule can be used as a pharmaceutical drug for various diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and inflammation.

PB-22 is a synthetic cannabinoid, which can be classified as a CB1 receptor agonist. It is one of the many cannabinoids that have been created in an attempt to circumvent drug laws by creating compounds that are similar to those found in cannabis but have different chemical structures. PB-22 has shown to increase locomotor activity and stimulate the cb1 receptor in mice. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and assays were used to determine the binding affinity of PB-22 for the CB1 receptor. The MRS data showed that PB-22 bound with high affinity to the CB1 receptor and had a lower affinity for CB2 receptors. This suggests that PB-22 may be more potent than other synthetic cannabinoids, such as JWH-018 and CP 55,940, which bind better with CB2 receptors than CB1 receptors.
PB-22 is an analog of JWH-073 and has been shown to have a stronger effect on locomotor activity than JWH

5-(3-Methylthiophen-2-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-amine is a ligand that binds to the ion channels in cells and activates them.

Rac-1-{[(9H-fluoren-9-yl)methoxy]carbonyl}-3-phenylpyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid is a chiral, stereospecific, cyclic sulfate that is synthetized by the reaction of glycol with lactam. It has been found to be effective against various types of cancer cells. Rac-1-{[(9H-fluoren-9-yl)methoxy]carbonyl}-3-phenylpyrrolidine 2 carboxylic acid is an enantiopure compound that can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of antiinflammatory drugs such as kainic acid.

2,2-Dimethyl-4-pentenoic acid is a decarboxylating agent that converts the carboxylic acid group to an aldehyde. It is commonly used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, especially for the conversion of esters and nitriles to alcohols and amines respectively. The synthesis of 2,2-dimethyl-4-pentenoic acid is achieved by reacting piperidine with propylene oxide. This reaction proceeds via a six-membered ring intermediate that decomposes to form the final product. The reaction can be catalyzed with peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, which leads to a high yield. 2,2-Dimethyl-4-pentenoic acid has been shown to be effective against hyperproteinemia and lipogenous disorders such as steatosis and cholestasis.

3-Hydroxy-5-methylpyridine (3HMP) is a chemical substance that has been classified as an amine. It is a product of the metabolism of purines, which are nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA. 3HMP is produced by aerogenic bacteria (such as Enterobacter), and can be used to estimate the number of these bacteria present in water samples. 3HMP has been shown to have antiviral properties against influenza virus, and can be used as a biomarker for the presence of other viruses in animals. 3HMP also has mineralization properties, which have been studied extensively, particularly with regards to pancreatic disease.

2-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene is a chemical compound that has been synthesized in an asymmetric reaction. The reactant is bromopropane and the product is 2,2,2-trifluoropropene. The methylene group on the propene molecule is activated by the nucleophilic attack of a fluoride ion from hydrogen fluoride to form a cavity with a highly strained bond. The kinetic study of this reaction revealed that the activation energy for the reaction is 42 kJ/mol. Palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are catalyzed by palladium and require nonpolar solvents such as toluene or dichloromethane. This type of reaction has been shown to be exothermic with an isolated yield of 1%.

4,5-Dihydroxy-2,3-pentanedione is a carbonyl compound that is the product of the oxidation of ascorbic acid. It is used in wastewater treatment and has antimicrobial properties against infectious diseases. This compound has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the ribosome and preventing the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids. 4,5-Dihydroxy-2,3-pentanedione has also been shown to bind to plasma proteins, which may be due to its acyl chain structure. 4,5-Dihydroxy-2,3-pentanedione can be synthesized in a catalytic mechanism that involves dehydroascorbic acid and molecular oxygen.

Piperyline is an alkanoic acid that has shown to be effective against skin cancer. It also has antimicrobial properties, which may be due to its ability to bind metal ions and form polymeric compounds. Piperyline inhibits microbial growth by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. The antimicrobial activity is related to its cationic polymerization with hydroxyl groups, which forms a structure that can inhibit microbial enzymes and disrupt microbial cell membranes. This compound also interacts with the skin's natural lipids, making it difficult for microorganisms to attach and grow on the skin. Piperyline is synthesized in organic chemistry laboratories as an amide precursor of other pharmaceuticals such as penicillin.
