1-Pyridin-4-yl-imidazolidin-2-one is a potent inhibitor of the growth hormone receptor, which in turn prevents the activation of the insulin receptor and glycogenolysis. It has been shown to attenuate cachexia in mice by reducing their weight loss. 1Pyridin-4-yl-imidazolidin-2-one also exerts an antihypertensive effect on congestive heart failure by inhibiting alpha 2 adrenergic receptors. This drug has been shown to have a stimulatory effect on premarin production and to be an effective insecticide against aphids, mites, and caterpillars.

3-Acetamido-4-picoline (3AP) is a fatty acid that has been used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. It is also a potent activator of AMPK, which is an enzyme that regulates cellular metabolism and energy homeostasis. 3AP has been shown to have antibacterial activity against a wide range of bacteria, including Mycoplasma and endophytic fungi. 3AP also inhibits leukotriene receptor antagonists, which are important for the inflammatory response. 3AP may be used as a diagnostic agent to measure body fat mass and body mass index in humans. The type strain for this compound is ATCC 21797.

4-(Benzyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde is a functional compound that has various tautomeric forms. It can be found in the mesomorphic form at low temperatures and in the imine form at higher temperatures. It is also active as an anti-inflammatory agent, inhibiting cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. 4-(Benzyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde has been shown to have a protective effect on cells from Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases by preventing the aggregation of beta-amyloid proteins that are implicated in these diseases.

(Iodomethyl)cyclopentane is a potent cytotoxic agent that inhibits the proliferation of a wide range of cells. It binds to the DNA of proliferating cells and causes cross-linking and strand breakage, which leads to cell death. This compound also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used in hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer, as well as infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. (Iodomethyl)cyclopentane is not available for sale in its pure form, but rather in a salt form.

7-Fluorophthalide is a protoberberine alkaloid that is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of berberine. It has been shown to be a stereoselective (S) or stereochemical (R) and to have a high affinity for binding to the anion. 7-Fluorophthalide has also been shown to be a fluorinated analogue of protoberberines, which can be used as a starting point for developing new molecules with similar properties.
