L-Glycero-D-manno-heptose is a polymyxin B antimicrobial agent that has been shown to have significant activity against Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. This compound also has an inhibitory effect on the growth of Gram-negative species such as Salmonella enterica. L-Glycero-D-manno-heptose inhibits the synthesis of bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan by binding to the terminal residues of oligosaccharides, which are linked to D-alanine in the peptidoglycan chain. The terminal residues of oligosaccharides are transferred from the lipid carrier to L-glycero-D manno heptose, forming a stable acylated glycoside. This reaction mechanism is similar to that of polymyxin B, but with a difference in reactivity due to steric hindrance.

2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl-b-D-glucopyranoside is a chemical that is extracted from the rhizoma gastrodiae. It is used to treat symptoms of damaged ganglion cells in diabetic patients. 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl-b-D-glucopyranoside inhibits chloride channels in neurons by binding with the extracellular receptor site and thereby preventing the influx of chloride ions. This leads to reduced neuronal excitability and decreased symptoms of damaged ganglion cells in diabetic patients. 2,3,4,6 Tetra O acetyl 4 (hydroxymethyl) phenyl b D glucopyranoside has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on structural formula and environmental pollution.

In water, hydroxypropyl cellulose forms liquid crystals with many mesophases depending on concentration. These mesophases include isotropic, anisotropic, nematic and cholesteric, the latter resulting in many colors such as violet, green and red. Pharmaceutical applications include treatments for medical conditions such as dry eye syndrome (keratoconjunctivitis sicca), recurrent corneal erosions, decreased corneal sensitivity, exposure and neuroparalytic keratitis. It is also used as a binder in tablets. Hydroxypropylcellulose is also used as a thickener, a binder and emulsion stabiliser in foods with E number E463.  HPC is used as a support matrix for DNA separations by capillary and microchip electrophoresis.

N-Nonyldeoxygalactonojirimycin (NDGJ) is a novel antiviral agent that inhibits the activity of viral enzymes, such as polymerase chain reaction and reverse transcriptase. NDGJ has been shown to inhibit the replication of hepatitis viruses in primary cells and human macrophages. The drug also inhibits the replication of human pathogens, such as HIV-1, herpes simplex virus type 1, and cytomegalovirus in cell culture. NDGJ has an effect on hydrophobic amino acids in protein synthesis by binding to them and preventing their attachment to the ribosomal surface. This leads to cell lysis through a process called osmotic shock.

GD1b ganglioside (shown as ammonium salt) is one of the major gangliosides in neuronal and glial membranes. It has a core tetrasaccharide structure (Galβ1,3GalNAcβ1,4Galβ1,4Glc) with its two sialic acids linked α2,3/α2,8 to the inner galactose residue, and ceramide linked β to position 1 on the reducing terminal glucose residue (Ledeen, 2009). GD1b ganglioside acts as a receptor for BK virus, as well as for heat-labile LTII-a toxin, produced by enteropathogenic E. coli. GD1b ganglioside also interacts with tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) and is crucial for its entry into cells (Kolter, 2012). The functional significance of ammonia in the brain is not yet fully understood: see (Modi 1994).

This beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) derivative is a functionalized cyclic oligosaccharide composed of seven glucose units, characterized by a hydrophilic exterior and a lipophilic cavity (bigger than α-CD and smaller than γ-CDs), which allows it to encapsulate various guest molecules. This structural feature facilitates its use in multiple applications, including pharmaceuticals, food enhancement, and cosmetics. In the pharmaceutical industry, it enhances the solubility and stability of poorly water-soluble drugs, improving their bioavailability and efficacy while also masking unpleasant tastes. The food sector utilizes it as a stabilizer for flavors, colors, and nutrients, extending shelf life by protecting sensitive ingredients from degradation. In cosmetics, it serves as a complexing agent for fragrances and active components, ensuring their stability and controlled release. Its use expands to many other fields, including nanotechnology for drug delivery systems, environmental remediation for extracting organic pollutants, textiles for slow-release fragrances, and analytical chemistry for chiral separation.
