Methyl L-(S)-b-hydroxyisobutanoate is a spiroketal that belongs to the class of methyl ketones. It has been found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. This effect is mediated by its ability to inhibit fatty acid synthesis and its ability to activate Bafilomycin A1, which inhibits ATP synthase. Methyl L-(S)-b-hydroxyisobutanoate also has an asymmetric carbon atom at position 4, which makes it possible to synthesize stereoisomers with different biological properties. The hydroxyl group on the side chain is important for its biological function because it facilitates the binding to biomolecules.

8-Chloro-1-octanol is an organic compound with a hydroxyl group at the 8th position of the octane ring. It has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth in vitro by binding to fatty acid biosynthesis enzymes and preventing the formation of fatty acids, which are vital for bacterial cell wall synthesis. The 8-chloro-1-octanol also inhibits the population growth of bacteria in corneal epithelium, leading to reduced biofilm formation. This compound has been shown to have regulatory effects on microbial populations. 8-Chloro-1-octanol is currently under study for its potential use as a topical antibacterial agent for treating corneal infections.

1H-Indol-2-ylmethanol is a model compound for the synthesis of bioactive molecules. It is used in biological studies as an inhibitor of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, heart disease, and inflammatory pain. The nitro group on 1H-Indol-2-ylmethanol has been shown to activate various enzymes involved in the inflammatory response. The hydroxy group on 1H-Indol-2-ylmethanol has been shown to inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation.
