L-Isoleucine (Ile) is an essential branched-chain aliphatic amino acid found in many proteins. It is an isomer of LEUCINE. It is important in hemoglobin synthesis and regulation of blood sugar and energy levels.

Sophoridine (Dihydro-5-episophocarpine), a natural anticancer drug, has been used in China for decades. A series of novel N-substituted Sophoridinic acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxicity with 1 as the lead. The structure-activity relationship indicated that introduction of an aliphatic acyl on the nitrogen atom might significantly enhance the anticancer activity. Among the compounds, 6b bearing bromoacetyl side-chain afforded a potential effect against four human tumor cell lines (liver, colon, breast, and lung). The mechanism of action of 6b is to inhibit the activity of DNA topoisomerase I, followed by the S-phase arrest and then cause apoptotic cell death, similar to that of its parent 1.

1-Octacosanol (Octanosol) is a straight-chain aliphatic 28-carbon primary fatty alcohol that is used as a nutritional supplement. It is reported to possess cholesterol-lowering effects, antiaggregatory properties, cytoprotective use, and ergogenic properties.

(E)-Oct-2-enoic acid (2-Octenoate) is an organic acid produced by hepatic microsomal oxidation of aliphatic aldehydes and is a metabolite naturally present in urine and plasma.

(±)-1,2-Propanediol is an aliphatic alcohol that has a variety of roles as a preservative and antifreeze, and has a wide range of applications in the food industry and skin care industry. (±)-1,2-Propanediol is a natural bacteriostatic agent that inhibits the growth and multiplication of bacteria to a certain extent.

Ethyl pyruvate is a simple aliphatic ester of pyruvic acid and has been shown to have robust neuroprotective effects via its anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-apoptotic functions.

4-Pentenoic acid, also known as allyl acetic acid or 4-pentenate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as straight chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with a straight aliphatic chain. 4-Pentenoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practi

γ-Hexalactone (γ-caprolactone) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. Thus, Gamma-caprolactone is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Gamma-Caprolactone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Gamma-Caprolactone exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Outside of the human body, Gamma-caprolactone has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as potato, cereals and cereal products, pomes, alcoholic beverages, and fruits. This could make Gamma-caprolactone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 4-hydroxy-Hexanoic acid gamma-lactone is occasionally found as a volatile component of human urine. In some cases differences up to an order of magnitude are observed. 4-hydroxy-Hexanoic acid gamma-lactone has been found in the polar fraction of human blood. Biological fluids such as blood and urine have been shown to contain a large number of components, some of them volatiles (low boiling point) apparently present in all individuals, while others such are much more variable. Although some of these changes may have dietary origins, others seem to be characteristic of the individual.

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.

Isopentylamine is a primary aliphatic amine that is structurally defined as butan-1-amine carrying a methyl substituent at the 3-position. Isopentylamine has documented biological role as both a plant metabolite and a bacterial metabolite, with additional potential applications being explored in the field of medical research.

Hexylamine is a primary aliphatic amine that presents as a flammable, water-white liquid with a strong, unpleasant ammonia-like, fishy odor. Hexylamine is used as a chemical reagent and versatile synthetic intermediate in organic synthesis, including the creation of polypeptides, functionalized materials for CO₂ capture, and lipid nanoparticles for drug delivery, Hexylamine is toxic by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact, requiring careful handling, storage, and disposal procedures.

Sinigrin hydrate (Allylglucosinolate monohydrate) has antimicrobial activity. Sinigrin hydrate (Allylglucosinolate monohydrate) exerts important anti-proliferative activities in carcinogen-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in rats, and highlight the potential of Sinigrin as an anti-cancer agent for liver cancer.

Dihydroisoalantolactone is found in herbs and spices. Dihydroisoalantolactone is isolated from roots of Inula helenium (elecampane). This compound Aliphatic heteropolycyclic, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as eudesmanolides, secoeudesmano

(±)-Jasmonic acid (trans-Jasmonic acid) is a compound found in grapevine inflorescences and fruits with pro-aging activity, inhibiting chlorophyll levels in green and yellowing barley leaf segments, suppressing rice seedling elongation, and participating in biogenic amine chemical coupling through decarboxylation with both aliphatic and aromatic α-amino acids.

(2E,4E)-Decadienoic acid, an aliphatic anti-oomycete agent, is present in the coculture of Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma asperellum [1].
