Aceburic acid is the acetyl ester of gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), it has analgesic effects as a prodrug to GHB. GHB is used medically as an anesthetic as well as a treatment for several neurologically affecting diseases.

Betulinic acid (BA) is a plant-derived pentacyclic triterpenoid that exerts potent anti-cancer effects in vitro and in vivo. It`s anticancer property is linked to its ability to induce apoptotic cell death in cancer cells by triggering the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. In contrast to the cytotoxicity of betulinic acid against a variety of cancer types, normal cells and tissue are relatively resistant to betulinic acid, pointing to a therapeutic window. Compounds that exert a direct action on mitochondria present promising experimental cancer therapeutics, since they may trigger cell death under circumstances in which standard chemotherapeutics fail. Thus, mitochondrion-targeted agents such as betulinic acid hold great promise as a novel therapeutic strategy in the treatment of human cancers. Betulinic acid has antiretroviral, antimalarial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Betulinic acid exerts its inhibitory effect by preventing topoisomerase I-DNA interaction as a result of which the 'cleavable complex' is not formed. In consequence, it also acts as an antagonist to camptothecin-mediated cleavage. The antitumor pharmacological effects of BA consist of triggering apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway, regulating the cell cycle and the angiogenic pathway via factors, including specificity protein transcription factors, cyclin D1 and epidermal growth factor receptor, inhibiting the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and nuclear factor‑κB signaling pathways, preventing the invasion and metastasis of tumor cells, and affecting the expression of topoisomerase I, p53 and lamin B1. Betulinic Acid has also been used in trials studying the treatment of Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome. Betulinic acid acts as anti-melanoma agent through inhibiting aminopeptidase N activity with IC50 of 7.3 uM. Betulinic acid is an inhibitor of HIV-1 with EC50 of 1.4 uM.

Diprogulic acid (Dikegulac) is used as a precursor in vitamin C synthesis. It is plant growth regulator for hedges. Dikegulac is used to differentially kill terminal apices, and it analogously inhibits basic metabolic functions in dividing cells, but not stationary cells, in suspension culture. At the lowest concentrations, dikegulac partially suppresses division of the isolated tobacco protoplasts. Higher concentrations are required to produce visual cytoplasmic damage to the protoplasts, which probably first occurs at the level of the plasmalemma, as the vacuoles can be released intact. Later, tonoplast disruption occurs. It does not inhibit mature leaves.

Hydroxytoluic acid is a long-acting derivative of salicylate with antilipidemic properties. It shows fibrinolytic activity in human plasma by activating the fibrinolytic system and has been shown to lower plasma free fatty acid, cholesterol levels, and to raise metabolic oxygen consumption.

Icomucret (15(S)-HETE) is an hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid developed by Alcon Research, Ltd for treatment Ophthalmic Disorders. In vitro Icomucret has been shown to inhibit LTB4 formation, 12-HETE formation and specifically inhibits the neutrophil chemotactic effect of LTB4. The inhibition of LTB4 formation is probably due to modulation of the 5- lipoxygenase (LO) because no changes in PGE2 formation have been determined. In vivo, Icomucret inhibits LTB4-induced erythema and edema, and reduces LTB4 in the synovial fluid of carragheenan-induced experimental arthritis in dogs. Icomucret has also some immunomodulatory effects. It inhibits the mixed lymphocyte reaction, induces generation of murine cytotoxic suppressor T cells, and it decreases interferon production by murine lymphoma cells. Furthermore, IL-4 and IL-13 have recently been shown to be potent activators of the 15-LO in mononuclear cells. Icomucret induces the secretion of membrane-bound mucins from human conjunctival and corneal epithelial cells. Icomucret was evaluated in clinical trials for Dry Eye Syndrome treatment. However from 2007 no future development reported, and Icomucret development sims to be discontinued.

Eprodisate (1,3-propanedisulfonate) is a negatively charged, sulfonated molecule of low molecular weight that has structural similarities to heparin sulfate; it is a glycosaminoglycan mimetic that binds to the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) binding site on serum A amyloid (AA) to prevent its interaction with glycosaminoglycan and arrest amyloidosis, or inhibit amyloid deposition. In nonclinical toxicity studies in two animal species (i.e., rat and dog), eprodisate was administered orally at doses of up to 2000 mg/kg/day for 39 weeks: eprodisate showed low toxicity potential at doses several fold higher than the anticipated clinical dose, was well tolerated upon chronic exposure and was found to be nonmutagenic and nonclastogenic. Furthermore, a series of safety pharmacology studies showed that eprodisate does not have any clinically significant effect on major organ function.

Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) is an oxidized form of ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is transported in its oxidized form via GLUT1 across the blood-brain barrier. Dehydroascorbic acid delay low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation when added before the initiation of the process, they accelerate the process if added to minimally oxidized LDL. Dehydroascorbic acid is used as biochemical markers of oxidative stress in clinical investigations. Dehydroascorbic acid has been used as a vitamin C dietary supplement.

Oxiniacic Acid is a nicotinic acid derivative, that shows potent hypolipidemic activity.
