Cis-4-methoxycinnamic acid is a less frequent isomer of 4-methoxycinnamic acid, isolated from from Aquilegia vulgaris.

Ethyl fumarate is an anti-psoriatic agent. Its salts are used for the treatment of severe psoriasis (Fumaderm formulation). The mechanism of its action is unknown.

Chlorophene is a halogenated phenolic compound that functions as a biocide and preservative in cosmetics. In Europe, the maximum authorized concentration allowed for Chlorophene is 0.2%. The glucuronic acid conjugate, the sulfate ester conjugate, and two other minor metabolites of Chlorophene were profiled in rat urine during pharmacokinetic tests. Chlorophene is incompletely absorbed through rat skin. In several anumal species these chemicals exhibited low oral toxicity. Some evidence of toxicity was found in short-term oral toxicity studies in mice and rats with nephropathy as the principal finding. Rats and mice dosed with Chlorophene for 2 years had a dose-related and sex-related increase in the severity of nephropathy. In another set of animal tests Chlorophene was found to be an ocular irritant. There was no readily available inhalation profile for Chlorophene. Chlorophene was severely irritating to rabbits in most dermal irritation studies. Chlorophene was found to be mutagenic in four in-vitro mammalian test systems. However, neoplasms were not observed in rats treated with Chlorophene for 2 years but, in mice treated similarly a significant incidence of neoplasms was observed. A 1-year National Toxicology Program (NTP) study concluded that Chlorophene was a cutaneous irritant and a weak skin tumor promoter but had no activity as an initiator or complete carcinogen. Some reactions to Chlorophene occurred in some, but not all, clinical dermal sensitization tests.

Mesotartaric acid is one of an isomer of Tartaric acid. Mesotartaric acid is a diastereomer which has two opposite chiral centers in the same molecule making the molecule optically inactive. Mesotartaric acid is also commonly called pyrotartaric acid because it is formed by heating d-(-)-tartaric acid. Mesotartaric Acid have several industrial application and may be used as pH regulator, a metal chelator, the reagent in organic synthesis and etc.

Sodium 1-Naphthaleneacetate (SODIUM 1-NAPHTHALENEACETATE) is a plant growth regulator. It has being shown that root application of certain concentration of sodium naphthalene acetate (SNA) could promote the growth of tomato seedlings by increasing the tomato root activity, protective enzymes activity, Pn and regulating endogenous hormone concentration under suboptimum temperature and light condition.

Kainic acid (kainate) is a natural marine acid present in some seaweed. Kainic acid is a potent neuroexcitatory amino acid that acts by activating receptors for glutamate, the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Kainic acid is commonly injected into laboratory animal models to study the effects of experimental ablation. Kainic acid is a direct agonist of the glutamic kainate receptors and large doses of concentrated solutions produce immediate neuronal death by overstimulating neurons to death. Such damage and death of neurons is referred to as an excitotoxic lesion. Thus, in large, concentrated doses kainic acid can be considered a neurotoxin, and in small doses of dilute solution kainic acid will chemically stimulate neurons. Kainic acid is utilised in primary neuronal cell cultures and acute brain slice preparations [5] to study of the physiological effect of excitotoxicity and assess the neuroprotective capabilities of potential therapeutics. Kainic acid is a potent central nervous system excitant that is used in epilepsy research to induce seizures in experimental animals, at a typical dose of 10–30 mg/kg in mice. In addition to inducing seizures, kainic acid is excitotoxic and epileptogenic. Kainic acid induces seizures via activation of kainate receptors containing the GluK2 subunit and also through activation of AMPA receptors, for which it serves as a partial agonist.

Mabuterol is a long acting βeta 2-adrenergic agonist which stimulates adenylyl cyclase activity and the closing of calcium channels. Studies indicate that the R enantiomer of mabuterol is more potent than the S enantiomer. In addition, the half-life is longer in the R enantiomer than the S. Studies conducted on rats and dogs show that mabuterol acts as a bronchodilator. At high concentrations mabuterol can also antagonize beta1 adrenoceptors in guinea pigs

Aniline is a toxic organic compound consisting of a phenyl group attached to an amino group. It is the prototypical aromatic amine. Aniline and its derivatives are very important for the synthesis of chemical products such as dyes, resins, and medicines. The main use of aniline is in the manufacture of precursors to polyurethane. Aniline is a carcinogen that is considered to induce tumors secondary to hemosiderosis as a consequence of methemoglobinemia. Aniline is classified as Group 3, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity in humans (IARC, 480 1987b). Aniline occurs naturally in some foods (i.e., corn, grains, beans, and tea), but the larger source of exposure is in industrial settings. Lifetime permissible daily exposure (PDE) for aniline is 720 ug/day. Simple anilines such as aniline and monosubstituted anilines are known to disappear from the environment mainly via biodegradation.

Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (Aviglycine, AVG) is a plant regulator used on apples, pears, and ornamentals. In apples, it may delay fruit maturity, leading to benefits such as a reduction in pre-harvest fruit drop and improved fruit quality. In pears, AVG may help maintain fruit firmness. For specific ornamentals (miniature carnations, hibiscus, and rooted geranium cuttings and seedlings), AVG may reduce problems, such as flower senescence and flower bud abscission, that occur during shipping. AVG to be used as a spray solution, applied to apples or pears as a single application 28 days prior to the anticipated beginning of the normal harvest period, and to specified ornamentals 24-to -48 hours prior to boxing/shipping.
