Dichloroxylenol is a bactericide, preservative and deodorant. It is often used in the preparation of antiseptic and deodorant lotions and bath preparations. Dichloroxylenol also showed slightly greater activity against S. aureus Oxoid 701/1 Lot 610254 than against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi, indicating a probable role for cell wall in the susceptibility of bacteria to dichloroxylenol. The efficacy of either povidone-iodine (Betadine) or dichloroxylenol (Septocid) intrauterine infusions on the treatment of endometritis and/or cervicitis in cows was examined. The recovery and conception rates obtained after Betadine treatment were better than those obtained after Septocid. Moreover, healthy cows and those inseminated before post-partum day 180, having no more than 4-7 previous services, responded well to either Betadine or Septocid treatment.

Peretinoin is an orally available, acyclic retinoid with potential antineoplastic and chemopreventive activities. Peretinoin binds to and activates nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR), which in turn recruit coactivator proteins and promote, with other transcriptional complexes, the transcription of target genes. As a result, this agent may modulate the expression of genes involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and apoptosis of both normal and tumor cells. Peretinoin inhibits post-therapeutic recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma via unclear mechanisms. The European Commission granted Orphan Drug designation for Kowa's peretinoin to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Cinnamaverine is an aminodiphenylacrylate, a smooth muscle relaxant and antispasmodic with some local anesthetic activity.

Difebarbamate is a barbituric acid derivative. It is a hypnotic drug. Difebarbamate is a component of Tetrabamate complex, which was introduced for clinical use in the treatment of alcoholism and various types of drug dependence. After oral administration of difebarbamate, the compound was completely metabolized and three metabolic pathways were observed: oxidation of Cl of the n-butyl chain which leads to the oxygen dealkylation; hydrolysis of the carbamoyloxy group; oxidation of the benzene ring in position 4. Tetrabamate can induce hepatotoxicity, probably due to an idiosyncratic metabolic mechanism. Despite restrictions on its indications and treatment duration introduced in 1997, cases of severe liver damage have continued to be notified in France.

Dazoxiben is a selective inhibitor of thromboxane synthetase (IC50 3 nM), an enzyme that converts the endo-peroxide PGH2 into thromboxane A2, which is a potent vasoconstrictor and platelet aggregating agent. Dazoxiben has demonstrated efficacy in some clinical trial for the treatment of Raynaud's syndrome, an ischaemic condition manifested by the pallor of affected digits. In subsequent studies, however, no significant effect of dazoxiben was found. Dazoxiben was also evaluated in patients with sepsis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, stable angina, and other conditions.

Dazoquinast is an imidazoquinoxaline derivative with antiallergic properties, developed by the British company Roussel Laboratories Ltd. Dazoquinast inhibited the IgE-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in rats passively sensitized to ovalbumen after intravenous and oral administration with ED50s of 0.073 and 0.13 mg/kg respectively.

Cinnamic acid is an odorless white crystalline acid that has only been recently studied for its potential in cancer prevention. Cinnamic acid and its derivatives are the major group of phenolic acids with ubiquitous distribution in fruits and vegetables. Preclinical data support the beneficial effects of Cinnamic acid, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activities. A more recent botanical review noted that cinnamic acid may help pre-diabetic and diabetic patients. When infected mice were fed food loaded with cinnamic acid, researchers saw that their insulin levels were better managed. Another study which used mice models saw that cinnamic acid improved glucose tolerance by promoting insulin secretion.

Cinecromen is benzopyranone derivative useful as coronary dilators. Cinecromen increases dog coronary blood flow two times after i.v. administration.
