20-Hydroxyecdysone is a naturally occurring ecdysteroid hormone, which is marketed as dietary supplements that can increase strength and muscle mass during resistance training, particularly bodybuilding. It was found, that 20-hydroxyecdysone did not affect body composition or training adaptations nor did they influence the anabolic/catabolic hormone status or general markers of catabolism in resistance-trained males. Because is known, that ecdysteroids have been shown to prevent various changes in mammalian tissues after female sex hormone deprivation. 20-Hydroxyecdysone also was investigated on these properties. It was found in rats, that 20-Hydroxyecdysone had a beneficial effect on reducing blood pressure and consequently preventing dilated cardiac hypertrophy. Some in vitro experiments showed, that 20-hydroxyecdysone had effects on lymphocytes and neutrophils, and may act as an immunomodulator.

(+)-selfotel ((+)-CGS-19755) is an enantiomer of selfotel, a competitive antagonist at N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-preferring receptors. The inhibition of NMDA-evoked ACh release from rat striatal slices is stereospecific, with the (+)-enantiomer less potent than the (-)-enantiomer.

Nutlins are cis-imidazoline analogs which inhibit the interaction between mdm2 and tumour suppressor p53. Inhibiting the interaction between mdm2 and p53 stabilizes p53, and is thought to selectively induce a growth-inhibiting state called senescence in cancer cells. These compounds are therefore thought to work best on tumors that contain normal or "wild-type" p53. Nutlin-3 does not induce the phosphorylation of p53 on key serine residues and reveals no difference in their sequence-specific DNA binding and ability to transactivate p53 target genes compared with phosphorylated p53 induced by the genotoxic drugs doxorubicin and etoposide, demonstrating that phosphorylation of p53 on key serines is dispensable for transcriptional activation and apoptosis.

D-Methyldopa is an inactive isomer of methyldopa. It is known, that only L-isomer has the ability to inhibit dopa decarboxylase and possesses the antihypertensive activity in man. Moreover, about twice the dose of the racemate (DL-form of methyldopa) is required for the equal antihypertensive effect.

There is no information about biological o medical application of ferrous orotate. But is known, that this substance may be used for nutritional purposes to food supplements.

Endoxifen, also known as N-desmethyl-4-hydroxytamoxifen, is active metabolites of tamoxifen. This metabolite exhibits a 100-fold higher binding affinity to the estrogen receptor (ER) and are more effective in suppressing cell proliferation than tamoxifen. In humans, the conversion from tamoxifen to endoxifen is predominant. Endoxifenis is an orally active, selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that was developed for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. In addition, this drug possesses antimanic properties, what can be used in the treatment of patients with bipolar I disorder (BPD I).

Etocrylene is an organic ester that appears as an off-white crystalline powder and functions as a UV absorber. When applied to the skin, this product absorbs UV rays. It can also be used to protect cosmetics and personal care products from deterioration. This product can be used in the formulation of sun protection products, as well as bath, skin, cleansing, hair, nail and fragrance products.

Oleandrin is a toxic cardiac glycoside found in oleander (Nerium oleander L.). Along with neandrin it is primarily responsible for the toxicity of the sap of oleander. Oleandrin has been used for many years in China and Russia for its properties as a cardiac glycoside, for both suicidal and therapeutic purposes as in treatment of cardiac insufficiency. Because of its properties as a cardiac glycoside, oleandrin interferes in some essential processes within the cell, the most important of these being the inhibition of the Na-K ATPase. This protein enables the cell to exchange the cations Na+ and K+ between the intercellular and extracellular spaces by which, for instance, electronic signaling is made possible in nerve cells. Oleandrin binds to specific amino acids in the protein, causing it to lose its function. After depolarization of the cell in which Na+ flows into the cell, the Na+ cannot be transported back into the extracellular membrane, causing the sodium gradient to disappear. This gradient is the driving force for other transport proteins, such as the sodium-calcium exchanger, which plays an important role in cardiomyocytes. To make muscle contraction possible, a calcium influx from the extracellular fluid into the cell is crucial. After the muscle contraction, the calcium is normally pumped out of the cell and exchanged for sodium. When the sodium gradient is depleted, calcium cannot be pumped back and, as a consequence, accumulates in the cardiomyocyte. As a result of the high calcium concentration, actin and myosin filaments will bind stronger, unable to relax properly to make a new contraction possible. This may result in cardiac arrhythmias, in the worst case decreasing cardiac output and causing a shortage in oxygen supply in vital tissues. Apart from being a potent toxic compound, it may also be used in therapeutic ways. Both oleandrin and oleandrigenin, as well as their relatives, may be able to inhibit proliferation of tumor cells and stimulate their apoptosis as a result of the high concentration of intracellular calcium. In addition, it inhibits excretion of fibroblast growth factor 2 through membrane interaction and through inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase pump. However, there are no results from clinical testing on humans that support any use as a cancer treatment. Oleandrin has been reported to be lethal, but exact dosages are not fully documented. The fatal blood concentration of oleandrin has been estimated for humans to be approximately 20 ng/ml in decreased blood by extrapolation of intoxication symptoms. Symptoms present in poisoned animals include bloody diarrhea and colic, the latter especially in horses. Because the leaf itself is quite bitter, only starving animals will be likely to eat the plant. The lethal dosage for animals is estimated to be about 0.5 mg/kg.

Zinc telluride is a binary chemical compound with the formula ZnTe. Zinc telluride (ZnTe) is a wide-band-gap II–VI semiconductor (E g=2.25 eV at 300 K) crystallizing in the cubic, zinc-blende structure. This material is promising for application as a purely green light-emitting diode. As Zinc telluride can be easily doped, and for this reason it is one of the more common semiconducting materials used in optoelectronics. Zinc telluride finds applications in the following: LEDs and laser diodes Solar cells Tetrahertz imaging Electro-optic detector Holographic interferometry Laser optical phase conjugation devices. Gold–zinc telluride (Au–ZnTe) core–shell nanoparticles were synthesized to support surface modifications for enhanced drug delivery in cancer therapeutics.

Gluceptate sodium also known as sodium glucoheptonate (H-Quest A300) is a non-toxic, a non-hazardous chelating agent, which forms stable complexes with di- and trivalent metal ions such as Ca2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Al3+, etc. This substance is highly compatible with strong alkaline mediums and can prevent the bacterial degradation of the solution. Gluceptate sodium has various applications in water treatment, agricultural, cosmetics, textile processing and in some others fields.
