Mal-PEG2-OH is a PEG polymer categorised as monofunctional (OH-PEG-X). Used as a linker, mal-PEG2-OH is used to attached PEG to proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, nanoparticles and small molecules via pegylation, a bioconjugation technique.

1-Phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbaldehyde (phenyltriazole) is a heterocyclic compound that has been synthesized as a potential drug for the treatment of malaria. The equilibrium between the two isomers is controlled by the rate of thermal isomerization. The dimethyl sulfoxide and nitrile functional groups are responsible for this process. Phenyltriazole has been shown to have antiplasmodial activity in vitro against parasites resistant to chloroquine and pyrimethamine, as well as in vivo against chloroquine resistant strains. This molecule also inhibits growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in cell culture and has been shown to be effective against other bacterial strains that are resistant to standard antibiotics. Phenyltriazole binds to DNA gyrase, an enzyme involved in DNA replication and repair, which results in inhibition of RNA synthesis and protein synthesis, leading

2,1-Benzothiazole-3-carboxylic acid is a chlorinated compound with a methyl group. It is a hydrolysis product of DDT and exhibits functional and chemical properties similar to those of thionyl chloride. 2,1-Benzothiazole-3-carboxylic acid has been shown to be highly toxic to rats and rabbits, but not to mice.

3-Isopropylbenzaldehyde is a flavonoid that has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties. It binds to the P38 and JNK pathways, which are associated with inflammation, in an animal model and inhibits the production of prostaglandin E2 by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase 2. 3-Isopropylbenzaldehyde also has been shown to inhibit fatty acid biosynthesis, which may be a strategy for treating obesity.

2-Hydrazino-4-phenylthiazole is a synthetic molecule with an enhancement effect on thiosemicarbazide. It binds to the target enzyme, the mitochondrial membrane potential, and inhibits the transport of electrons through the electron transport chain. This leads to an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and disruption of cellular function. 2-Hydrazino-4-phenylthiazole has been shown to have anti fungal properties against strains of Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. It also inhibits the growth of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. 2-Hydrazino-4-phenylthiazole can be used as a fungicide in industrial chemicals or as a preservative for acidic foods such as pickles or sauerkraut.
