| 10-gingerol | | (10)-Gingerol |
| 17-phenyltrinorprostaglandin e2 | A prostanoid that is 18,19,20-trinor-prostaglandin E2 in which one of the terminal methyl hydrogens has been replaced by a phenyl group. | 17-phenyl-18,19,20-trinor-prostaglandin E2 |
| 3-deoxyhexulose | A deoxyketohexose that is keto-D-fructose that is lacking the hydroxy group at position 3. A metabolite of 3-deoxyglucosone, a dicarbonyl sugar synthesised through the Maillard reaction. | 3-deoxy-keto-D-fructose |
| 4'-epichaetoviridin A | An azaphilone that is the 4'-epimer of chaetoviridin A. It has been isolated from Chaetomium globosum. | 4'-epichaetoviridin A |
| 8-gingerol | | (8)-Gingerol |
| chaetoviridin a | An azaphilone that is 6H-furo[2,3-h]isochromene-6,8(6aH)-dione substituted by a chloro group at position 5, a 3-hydroxy-2-methylbutanoyl group at position 9, a methyl group at position 6a and a 3-methylpent-1-en-1yl group at position 3. Isolated from Chaetomium globosum, it exhibits natifungal activity against plant pathogenic fungi. | chaetoviridin A |
| diacetone alcohol | A beta-hydroxy ketone formed by hydroxylation of 4-methylpentan-2-one at the 4-position. It has been isolated from Achnatherum robustum. | diacetone alcohol |
| gingerol | A beta-hydroxy ketone that is 5-hydroxydecan-3-one substituted by a 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl moiety at position 1; believed to inhibit adipogenesis. It is a constituent of fresh ginger. | gingerol |
| ixabepilone | A macrocycle that is a lactam analogue of epothilone B. Binds directly to beta-tubulin subunits on microtubules, leading to suppression of microtubule dynamics. | ixabepilone |
| lasalocid | A polyether antibiotic used for prevention and treatment of coccidiosis in poultry. | lasalocid |
| myriaporone 3 | A member of the class of oxanes isolated from the Mediterranean bryozoan Myriapora truncata and has been shown to exhibit inhibitory activity against murine leukemia cells. | myriaporone 3 |
| pramanicin | | Pramanicin |
| pyoluteorin | A member of the class of resorcinols that is resorcinol in which the hydrogen at position 2 is replaced by a 4,5-dichloro-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonyl group. It is a natural product found in Pseudomonas fluorescens which exhibits antibacterial properties and is a strong inducer of caspase-3-dependent apoptosis. | pyoluteorin |
