NPR-C activator 1 (Compound 1) is a potent agonist (EC50 ~ 1 μM) of natriuretic peptide receptor C (NPR-C), which plays a crucial role in regulating vascular homeostasis, and demonstrates promising in vivo pharmacokinetic properties .

Alpha-Hydroxyisobutyric acid is a metabolite of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). MTBE may be obtained through environmental exposure. MTBE is rapidly eliminated from the body mainly through expired air as the unchanged compound. MTBE is to some extent metabolised to t-butyl alcohol (TBA) and formaldehyde and oxidised to 2-methyl-12-propanediol and a-hydroxy isobuturic acid. Alpha-Hydroxyisobutyric acid has been used as an arial bactericide.

2,4′-Dichloroacetanilide (2-chloro-N-(4-chlorophenyl)acetamide) has antifungal activity and inhibits T. asteroides with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 6.25 μg/mL.
