| averufin | An organic heteropentacyclic compound that is 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-2,6-epoxyanthra[2,3-b]oxocine-8,13-dione substituted at position 2 by a methyl group and at positions 7, 9 and 11 by hydroxy groups (the S,S-diastereomer) | (1'S,5'S)-averufin |
| azaconazole | A member of the class of dioxolanes that is 1,3-dioxolane substituted at position 2 by 2,4-dichlorophenyl and 1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl groups. A fungicide used mainly in ornamental crops to control canker and other diseases. Azaconazole is moderately toxic to mammals but is not expected to bioaccumulate. It is moderately toxic to birds, fish and aquatic invertebrates. | azaconazole |
| desonide | Triamcinolone acetonide with hydrogen instead of the fluorine substituent at position 9. A corticosteroid anti-inflammatory, it is used topically as a cream, ointment or lotion for the treatment of various skin disorders. | desonide |
| difenoconazole | A member of the class of dioxolanes that is 1,3-dioxolane substituted at position 2 by 2-chloro-4-(4-chlorophenoxy)phenyl and 1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl groups. A broad spectrum fungicide with novel broad-range activity used as a spray or seed treatment. It is moderately toxic to humans, mammals, birds and most aquatic organisms. | difenoconazole |
| dotarizine | An N-alkylpiperazine in which the two amino hydrogens of piperazine have been replaced by diphenylmethyl and 3-(2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)propyl groups. A calcium channel blocker and serotonin (5-HT2) receptor antagonist used in the treatment of migraine. | dotarizine |
| er-086526 | A fully synthetic macrocyclic ketone analogue of marine sponge natural products. Inhibits growth phase of microtubules via tubulin-based antimitotic mechanism, which leads to G2/M cell-cycle block, disruption of mitotic spindles, and, ultimately, apoptotic cell death after prolonged mitotic blockage | eribulin |
| flunisolide | | flunisolide |
| fluocinolone acetonide | A fluorinated steroid that is flunisolide in which the hydrogen at position 9 is replaced by fluorine. A corticosteroid with glucocorticoid activity, it is used (both as the anhydrous form and as the dihydrate) in creams, gels and ointments for the treatment of various skin disorders. | fluocinolone acetonide |
| itraconazole | An N-arylpiperazine that is cis-ketoconazole in which the imidazol-1-yl group is replaced by a 1,2,4-triazol-1-yl group and in which the actyl group attached to the piperazine moiety is replaced by a p-[(+-)1-sec-butyl-5-oxo-1,5-dihydro-4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]phenyl group. A potent P-glycoprotein and CYP3A4 inhibitor, it is used as an antifungal drug for the treatment of various fungal infections, including aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis, chromoblastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, and sporotrichosis. | itraconazole |
| pederin | A polyketide and carboxamide produced by a (Pseudomonas) bacterial endosymbiont of certain rove beetles (genus Paederus). Pederin is the agent responsible for the vesicant effects (linear or Paederus dermatitis) when the beetle is crushed against the skin. It is a powerful inhibitor of protein biosynthesis and mitosis and a potent antitumour agent. | pederin |
| propiconazole | The cyclic ketal obtained by formal condensation of 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethanone with pentane-1,2-diol. A triazole fungicide, it is used commercially as a diastereoisomeric mixture on soft fruit (including apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums and prunes), nuts (including peanuts, pecans and almonds), mushrooms, and grasses grown for seeds. | propiconazole |
| rifampin | A member of the class of rifamycins that is a a semisynthetic antibiotic derived from Amycolatopsis rifamycinica (previously known as Amycolatopsis mediterranei and Streptomyces mediterranei). | rifampicin zwitterion; rifampicin |
| rifamycin sv | A member of the class of rifamycins that exhibits antibiotic and antitubercular properties. | rifamycin SV |
| rifaximin | A semisynthetic member of the class of rifamycins and non-systemic gastrointestinal site-specific broad spectrum antibiotic. Used in the treatment of traveller's diarrhoea, hepatic encephalopathy and irritable bowel syndrome. | rifaximin |
| rx 821002 | A benzodioxine that is idazoxan substituted at position 2 by a methoxy group. | 2-methoxyidazoxan |
| squalestatin 1 | A polyketide isolated from fungi that is a potent inhibitor of fungal and mammalian squalene synthase. | zaragozic acid A |
| streptolydigin | A monocarboxylic acid amide that is a broad-spectrum antibiotic produced by Streptomyces lydicus. | streptolydigin |
| topiramate | A hexose derivative that is 2,3:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-fructopyranose in which the hydroxy group has been converted to the corresponding sulfamate ester. It blocks voltage-dependent sodium channels and is used as an antiepileptic and for the prevention of migraine. | topiramate |
| triamcinolone acetonide | A synthetic glucocorticoid that is the 16,17-acetonide of triamcinolone. Used to treat various skin infections. | triamcinolone acetonide |
| zaragozic acid c | A polyketide isolated from fungi that is a potent inhibitor of fungal and mammalian squalene synthase. | zaragozic acid C |
