Isobronyl acetate (an isomer of bornyl acetate) is a component of many essential oils, which was observed to be inhibitory to microorganisms. It was also shown to have sedative effect on mice after inhalation. Isobronyl acetate is mainly used in cosmetics as a flavor and fragrance agent.

N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-cysteine (acetyl farnesylcysteine), a modulator of G protein and G-protein coupled receptor signaling, inhibits neutrophil chemotaxis and other inflammatory responses in cell-based assays, is a synthetic substrate for the isoprenylated protein methyltransferase (also known as S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase). It was shown, that the topical N-acetyl-S-farnesyl-L-cysteine inhibited mouse skin inflammation and might exert its anti-inflammatory effects through the inhibition of chemokine production by stimulated endothelial cells.
