| 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propandiol | An aminodiol that is propane-1,3-diol substituted ny an amino and a methyl group at position 2. | 2-amino-2-methylpropane-1,3-diol |
| diisopropanolamine | A secondary amino compound that is diethanolamine substituted by methyl groups at positions 1 and 1'. It is a versatile chemical used in a variety of personal care, cosmetic and industrial products. | diisopropanolamine |
| fingolimod | An aminodiol that consists of propane-1,3-diol having amino and 2-(4-octylphenyl)ethyl substituents at the 2-position. It is a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator used for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. A prodrug, fingolimod is phosphorylated by sphingosine kinase to active metabolite fingolimod-phosphate, a structural analogue of sphingosine 1-phosphate. | fingolimod |
| n,n-dimethylsphingenine | A sphingoid that is sphingosine in which the two amino hydrogens are replaced by methyl groups. | N,N-dimethylsphingosine |
| safingol | An aminodiol that is octadecane bearing two hydroxy substituents at positions 1 and 3 as well as an amino substituent at position 2. | 2-aminooctadecane-1,3-diol |
