1-Docosanol (Behenic alcohol) is a saturated 22-carbon aliphatic alcohol with antiviral activity. 1-Docosanol has a distinct mechanism of action and inhibits fusion between the plasma membrane and the herpes simplex virus envelope, thereby preventing viral entry into cells and subsequent viral activity and replication. 1-Docosanol is used topically in the treatment of recurrent herpes simplex labialis episodes and relieves associated pain and may help heal sores faster.

Nortropine (Nortropenol) is used as muscarinic receptor antagonists.

(-)-Menthol (Levomenthol) is a levo isomer of menthol, an organic compound made synthetically or obtained from peppermint or mint oils with flavoring and local anesthetic properties. When added to pharmaceuticals and foods, menthol functions as a fortifier for peppermint flavors. It also has a counterirritant effect on skin and mucous membranes, thereby producing a local analgesic or anesthetic effect.

cis-3-Hexen-1-ol ((Z)-3-Hexen-1-ol) is an aroma compound described as green grassy or the smell of cut grass. It is found in many fresh fruits and vegetables and is widely used as a flavor additive in processed food and perfumes. cis-3-Hexen-1-ol also attracts various insects[1][2].

DL-Menthol ((±)-Menthol) is a racemic mixture of the monoterpene alcohols (–)-menthol and (+)-menthod, which have been found in Cannabis. (–)-Menthol is more common than (+)-menthol in nature and exhibits analgesic, antibacterial, and anticancer properties, as well as inhibits cholinesterase.2 (+)-Menthol inhibits the growth of F. verticillioides (MIC: 1.5 mM) but, unlike (–)-menthol, does not exhibit analgesic, antibacterial, anticancer, or cholinesterase inhibitory activities.

4-Hydroxybenzoic acid (4-hydroxybenzoate) is a monohydroxybenzoic acid, a phenolic derivative of benzoic acid. It is a white crystalline solid that is slightly soluble in water and chloroform but more soluble in polar organic solvents such as alcohols. It could inhibit most gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria, with an IC50 of 160 μg mL.

Xanthohumol, also known as 2', 4, 4'-trihydroxy-6'-methoxy-3'-prenylchalcone or desmethylxanthohumol, is a member of the class of compounds known as 3-prenylated chalcones. It inhibits COX-1 and COX-2 activity and shows chemopreventive effects.

2-Heptanol (s-Heptyl alcohol) is a chemical compound found in the essential oil extracted from the rhizome of Curcuma angustifolia and Curcuma zedoaria. The rhizome essential oil demonstrates noteworthy antimicrobial and antioxidant properties.

1-Heptadecanol is a long-chain primary alcohol with antibacterial activity derived from Solena amplexicaulis leaves [1]. [1]. Soumendranath Chatterjee, et al. Antibacterial Activity of Long-Chain Primary Alcohols from Solena amplexicaulis Leaves. Proceedings of the Zoological Society volume 71, pages313-319(2018).

3-Methyl-2-buten-1-ol (gamma-dimethylallylalcohol) is found in blackcurrant, ylang-ylang, hop oils, orange peel oil, and various fruits such as orange, lemon, lime, grape, pineapple, purple passion fruit, and loganberry. Prenol is a flavoring ingredient.

α-Pyridone (2-Hydroxypyridine)e is the catalyst for generating β-oxopropyl carbonates from cyclic carbonates and alcohols and in the aminolysis of a polyglutamate.

1-Hydroxyoctadecane (OctadecanolOctadecanol) is a fatty alcohol present in human and is normally incorporated into plasmalogen lipids. Sjogren-Larsson syndrome is defined by the triad of ichthyosis, mental retardation, and spasticity, and patients accumulate fatty alcohols such as Octadenol in the plasma and cultured fibroblasts.

2-Acetylthiazole (2-Acetylthiazole;2 Acetylthiazole) is used in the preparation of chiral alcohols, triazolothiazoles, it is also used in aldol condensation reactions.

1,3-Butanediol (BD) is a ketogenic substance. Ketone bodies are essential energy substrates in the absence of exogenous nutrients, and more recently, they have been suggested to prevent disease and improve longevity.

Geranylgeraniol (FT0626663) is an isoprenoid found in fruits, vegetables, and grains, including rice. Geranylgeraniol (FT0626663) inhibits growth and induces apoptosis of various tumor cells. Geranylgeraniol (FT0626663) protects monocytes against statin-induced cytotoxicity and suppresses the growth of Mycobacterium.
