Ascr#18, an ascaroside, is a hormone of nematodes. Ascr#18 is expressed during nematode development. Ascr#18 increases resistance in Arabidopsis, tomato, potato and barley to viral, bacterial, oomycete, fungal and nematode infections.

Tuliposide A is a glycoside precursor compound derived from Tulipa gesneriana L. Tuliposide A exists in two spontaneously interconvertible isomers, and can release glucose via hydrolysis or enzymatic decomposition to generate the active intermediate Tulipaline A. Tuliposide A produces hydrolysates that suppress infection and expansion of Fusarium oxysporum, trigger cutaneous contact irritation, and lower the viability of in vitro plant calli. Tuliposide A can be used in studies related to fungal infections and dermatitis.

Virodhamine TFA is an endocannabinoid, it regulates neurotransmission by activating the cannabinoid (CB) receptors. Virodhamine is an antagonist of CB1 receptor and an agonist of CB2 receptor. Virodhamine TFA induces megakaryocytic differentiation by triggering MAPK signaling and ROS production. Virodhamine TFA can be used for the research of various neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

N-Hydroxydecanamide (Decanohydroxamic acid) is a component of an experimental iron ore flotation agent.
