7-epidocetaxel (4-epidocetaxel) is an epimer of antitumor agent docetaxel (TAXOTERE). The presence of 7-epidocetaxel in docetaxel injection and in vivo epimerisation has been reported to be the cause for development of tumor resistance to chemotherapy including docetaxel by inducing tumor cell protein cytochrome P450 1B1.

Pseudoerythromycin A enol ether is devoid of antibiotic activity but can be used as an analytical standard for erythromycin A stability studies.

Estrone acetate is a synthetic steroid hormone, which is used in biochemical research.

Cianidanol,(-)- or ent-Catechin is one of the 4 catechin diastereoisomers. ent-Catechin was isolated from leaves of Eucalyptus cinerea and was found in in cocoa and cocoa products. It is a natural phenol antioxidant plant secondary metabolite. It resists to the microbial transformation by endophytic fungi isolated from a tea plant.

Glyceryl 1-linoleate is used in the synthesis of controlled release systems for drug delivery. Also in the preparation of a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system for the enhancement of oral drug bioavailability. Glyceryl 1-linoleate is a substrate for the soybean lipoxygenase. It is the main ingredient of the herbal extract obtained from Astragalus membranaceus. It was tested to prevent bone loss in ovariectomized rats. Glyceryl 1-linoleate didn’t prevent tibia and lumbar bone loss in animals.

Anisylacetone (aka Raspberry Ketone Methyl Ether) is an approved food additive compound which provides the smell and taste of raspberry. It is a known attractant of fruit flies. It has predominantly found use as a food additive or in perfume formulations.

(S)-adrafinil is an enantiomer of adrafanil, a vigilance promoting agent. (S)-adrafinil is considered to be metabolized to (S)-modafinil. The pharmacological activity of the compound is not established.

(R)-adrafinil is an enantiomer of adrafanil, a vigilance promoting agent. (R)-adrafinil is considered to be metabolized to (R)-modafinil. The pharmacological activity of the compound is not established.

Zinc cyanide is a highly toxic compound that is used mainly for electroplating zinc and as a catalyst for the cyanosilylation of aldehydes and ketones. Moreover, it is also used to introduce the formyl group in organic synthesis. Zn(CN)2 is insoluble in most solvents. The solid dissolves in, or more precisely, is degraded by, aqueous solutions of basic ligands such as hydroxide, ammonia, and additional cyanide to give anionic complexes. .

1,2-didecanoylglycerol (also known as glyceryl 1,2-dicaprate or 1,2-dicaprin), a synthetic diacylglycerol, is the substrate for human pancreatic lipase. It activates protein kinase C in platelets and enhances anterior pituitary hormone secretion in vitro.
