3-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine is a high purity ligand for many receptors, including GABA and NMDA receptors. It has been shown to activate both ion channels and receptor proteins in the central nervous system, which may be due to its ability to inhibit chloride ion flux through GABA receptors. 3-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine also binds to the NMDA receptor and is an inhibitor of protein interactions.

(1R)-1-(3-Nitrophenyl)ethanol is a prochiral alcohol that is generated by the oxidation of nitrobenzene. It has an optimal pH range of 5.5-7.0 and optimum catalytic activity at a ph range of 6.5-8.0. (1R)-1-(3-Nitrophenyl)ethanol can be used in the production of antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporin, which are derived from erythromycin. The chiral nature of this molecule allows for the synthesis of two different stereoisomers: erythromycin A and erythromycin B. This molecule also has been shown to have antifungal properties, inhibiting the growth of bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli.

SCH 28080 is a potent inhibitor of transcriptional activator protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). These two transcriptional regulatory proteins are activated by various stimuli, including inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6. Activation of these transcription factors leads to the upregulation of the genes encoding proinflammatory mediators, such as eosinophil cationic protein and interleukins. SCH 28080 has been shown to inhibit NF-κB activation in human HL60 cells, which may be due to its ability to bind to both the α subunit of NF-κB and AP-1.

2-(Piperidin-4-yl)ethan-1-amine is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the enzyme pancreatic lipase. This inhibition of lipases leads to the decrease in triglycerides and phospholipids in the blood, which prevents inflammation. 2-(Piperidin-4-yl)ethan-1-amine has been shown to have antibacterial and antifungal properties. It has been used for the treatment of infections caused by Mycobacteria sp., including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium complex, and M. kansasii. It also has been used for the treatment of orlistat induced side effects such as steatorrhea and diarrhea. The use of this drug is limited because it can cause liver toxicity or gastrointestinal ulceration at high doses.

5-Nitro-2-(piperidine-1-yl)pyridine is a product that is formed by the nucleophilic addition of nitric acid to 1,3-diketones. It has been used in the synthesis of phenyl and isoxazole derivatives. The reaction was rationalized using amines as nucleophiles, which attack the electrophilic carbon atom in the ketone. This product has also been shown to be an effective nucleophile for attacking other molecules, such as azides and nitrates. In the Australian outback, 5-Nitro-2-(piperidine-1-yl)pyridine can be found in soils and plants.

1-Bromopentan-2-ol is an additive that is used in lubricating preparations, as well as a solvent in spectroscopy. It has been shown to have antimicrobial properties against fungi and bacteria. 1-Bromopentan-2-ol's antimicrobial effects are due to its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to amine groups on proteins and preventing the formation of new cell walls. 1-Bromopentan-2-ol also has the ability to react with formaldehyde, generating formaldehyde gas which inhibits microbial growth.
