Meldonium (3-(2,2,2-trimethylhydrazinium)propionate; MET-88; quaterine, trade-named as Mildronate) is an antiischemic drug developed at the Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis. It is a clinically used in the treatment of heart failure, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. Mechanism of action is based on the regulation of energy metabolism pathways through l-carnitine lowering effect. L-Carnitine biosynthesis enzyme γ-butyrobetaine hydroxylase and carnitine/organic cation transporter type 2 (OCTN2) are the main known drug targets of meldonium, and through inhibition of these activities, meldonium induces adaptive changes in the cellular energy homeostasis. Since L-carnitine is involved in the metabolism of fatty acids, the decline in its levels stimulates glucose metabolism and decreases concentrations of l-carnitine related metabolites, such as long-chain acylcarnitines and trimethylamine-N-oxide. Meldonium is used in neurological clinics for the treatment of brain circulation disorders. It appears to improve patients' mood; they become more active, their motor dysfunction decreases, and asthenia, dizziness, and nausea become less pronounced. CNS effects of Meldonium could be mediated by stimulation of the nitric oxide production in the vascular endothelium by modification of the gamma-butyrobetaine and its esters pools. It is hypothesized that mildronate may increase the formation of the gamma-butyrobetaine esters. Meldonium was on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) list of drugs being monitored until September 2015, when it was added to the list of banned substances, effective January 1, 2016.

1-Naphthyl acetate may be used in a rapid staining method for identification of macrophages. And it was used as a susbtrate for different type of esterases, e.g. butyrylcholinesterase, α-naphthyl acetate esterase for determination of their properties towards to insecticide resistance.

Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG), an endogenous intermediary metabolite in the Krebs cycle, is a molecule involved in multiple metabolic and cellular pathways. As an intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, AKG is essential for the oxidation of fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose. Extracellular AKG is a significant source of energy for cells of the gastrointestinal tract. As a precursor for the synthesis of glutamate and glutamine in multiple tissues (including liver, skeletal muscle, heart, brain, and white adipose tissue), AKG bridges carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism for both conservation of amino acids and ammonia detoxification. Additionally, emerging evidence shows that AKG is a regulator of gene expression and cell signaling pathways (including the mammalian target of rapamycin and AMPactivated protein kinase). Thus, AKG is an attractive dietary supplement in animal and human nutrition to improve cellular energy status, immunity, and health.AKG can decrease protein catabolism and increase protein synthesis to enhance bone tissue formation in the skeletal muscles and can be used in clinical applications. In addition to these health benefits, a recent study has shown that AKG can extend the lifespan of adult Caenorhabditis elegans by inhibiting ATP synthase and TOR. Orally, AKG is used for kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders, bacterial overgrowth, intestinal toxemia, liver dysfunction, and chronic candidiasis. It is also used for improving peak athletic performance, improving amino acid metabolism in hemodialysis patients, and cataracts. Intravenously, AKG is used for preventing ischemic injury during heart surgery, improving renal blood flow after heart surgery, and preventing muscle protein depletion after surgery or trauma.

p-tert-butylphenol is in public use since the 1930s. It is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of varnish and lacquer resin. It has apparently not been reported to occur in nature. There is an abundant literature dealing with the well-established sensitization and depigmentation (vitiligo) properties of p-tert-butylphenol.

Thebacon (dihydrocodeinone enol acetate, trade name Acedicon) is semisynthetic opioid analgetic and antitussive compound. Boehringer-Ingelheim merketed Acedicon for the treatment of cough. Thebacon is a Schedule I drug, that has not got approved use in US.

(S)-Sulindac is the (S)-enantiomer of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) Sulindac, that is marketed in the U.S. by Merck as Clinoril. Sulindac is a prodrug, derived from sulfinyl-indene, that is converted in vivo to an active sulfide compound by liver methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msr). The (Msr) family of enzymes includes two major classes, MsrA and MsrB, that specifically reduce the S- and R-epimers of Sulindac. Reduction of (S)-Sulindac to Sulindac Sulfide catalyzed by methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr)-A. The oxidation of both epimers to sulindac sulfone is catalyzed primarily by the microsomal cytochrome P450 (P450) system. (S)-Sulindac increases the activity of the P450 system better than (R)-sulindac, but both epimers increase primarily the enzymes that oxidize (R)-sulindac. Both epimers can protect normal lung cells against oxidative damage and enhance the killing of lung cancer cells exposed to oxidative stress.

Phosphocreatine (creatine phosphate, PCr, PC) is the phosphorylated form of endogenous creatine that serves as a rapidly mobilizable reserve of high-energy phosphates in skeletal muscle and the brain of vertebrates. Phosphocreatine is a key component in the intracellular system of energy buffering and transports from the site of energy production to the site of energy utilization to ensure that supply meets the high and dynamic demands of the heart. Phosphocreatine can anaerobically donate a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP during the first two to seven seconds following an intense muscular or neuronal effort. Conversely, excess ATP can be used during a period of low effort to convert creatine to phosphocreatine. The reversible phosphorylation of creatine is catalyzed by several creatine kinases. Particularly, PCr makes the energy of phosphoryl bonds of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) available at the myofibrillar creatine kinase that allows myocardium contraction. Supplementation with PCr was, therefore, suggested as potentially beneficial in patients with acute and chronic myocardial ischaemic injury. Phosphocreatine has been tried in the treatment of cardiac disorders and has been added to cardioplegic solutions. Phosphocreatine is used intravenously in hospitals in some parts of the world for cardiovascular problems under the name Neoton and also used by some professional athletes, as it is not a controlled substance.
