Iosefamic Acid is triiodoisophthalamic acid derivative patented by Mallinckrodt Chemical Works as x-ray contrast agent for imaging in the biliary and urinary systems and in vasography.

Dimpylate (diazinon) is a nonsystemic organophosphate insecticide, an inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) in cholinergic synapses and neuromuscular junctions. This results in abnormal accumulation of ACh in the nervous system. Dimpylate was first registered for use in the USA in 1956. It was developed as an insecticide, acaricide, and nematicide for use on a variety of pests for control of soil insects and pests of fruit, vegetables, and forage and field crops. It had been used extensively in home and garden applications, in formulations designed to prevent such pests as crickets or cockroaches from infesting homes or offices, and in pet collars. Due to the emerging health and ecological risks posed by diazinon, manufacturers agreed to phase out and cancel all residential products. Manufacturing of indoor use products containing dimpylatewas discontinued in 2001; manufacture of non-agricultural outdoor use products containing dimpylate was discontinued in 2003.

Tiacrilast (also known as Ro 22-3747) is a quinazolinyl-propenoic acid derivative patented by Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. as an antihypertensive useful for anaphylaxis management. Tiacrilast acts as a potent mast cell degranulation inhibitor in vitro and inhibits of antigen-induced histamine release from passively sensitized rat peritoneal cells in vitro. In preclinical models, Tiacrilast shows marked activity in rat passive cutaneous anaphylaxis assay, rat anaphylactic bronchospasm assay. In vitro studies have confirmed that the mechanism of action of Tiacrilast in the in vivo models is through allergic mediator release inhibition. Clinical evaluations of Tiacrilast in patients with ragweed sensitive allergic asthma, Tiacrilast demonstrates significant inhibitory activity relative to placebo in reducing acute airway responses to inhaled pollen extracts

Thyropropic Acid (also known as Triopron) is a hydrocinnamic acid derivative and naturally occurring thyroid analog with antigoitrogenic and anticholesteremic activity. Thyropropic Acid acts as potent antagonist of thyroid hormone receptors and may be useful in the therapy of resistance to thyroid hormone and corticosteroid-induced skin atrophy. In preclinical models, Thyropropic Acid reduced serum cholesterol 27% and liver incorporation of acetate into cholesterol 37% but did not affect liver cholesterol levels.

Rose Bengal lactone is a polyhalogenated derivative of Fluorescein. Rose Bengal lactone is a dye compound described to produce cell membrane damage. Rose Bengal lactone and other Fluorescein derivatives are also described to modulate the function of ATP-sensitive K+ channels. Rose bengal lactone reacts readily with bases so treatment with triethylamine immediately yields the Rose Bengal salt.

Streptonigrin is an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces flocculus. Streptonigrin exhibits activity as a broad spectrum antibiotic against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Streptonigrin shows antitumor activity against sarcomas, carcinomas, leukemias and lymphomas in vivo and in vitro. Due to its high toxicity, streptonigrin has not recieved widespread clinical use.

Iodocetylic Acid I-123 is a radiolabeled derivative of cetylic acid. Iodocetylic Acid I-123 was studied as for in vivo diagnosis of the myocardium.
