Chlorphenesin (Chlorophenesin) is an antigen-associated immunosuppressant that inhibits IgE-mediated histamine release. It is also used as an antimycotic agent.

Cholesteryl erucate, a cholesterol ester, serves as a standard for the quantification of cholesterol esters in human meibomian gland secretions.

Cholesterol nervonate is a specific cholesterol ester molecular species composed of cholesterol esterified to the very long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid nervonic acid, which has been identified as a constituent of the complex lipid mixture in human meibum, the secretory product of the meibomian glands.Cholesterol nervonate has been experimentally used in the generation of synthetic liposomes for membrane biophysics and drug delivery research.

Cholesteryl palmitoleate, a cholesterol ester, exhibits elevated plasma levels in ApoE- - mice following exposure to cigarette smoke and in pediatric patients diagnosed with biliary atresia. It serves as a standard for identifying cholesterol esters in human meibomian gland secretions.

17-Methylstearic acid is a methyl-branched fatty acid identified in the meibomian glands of mice, the mushroom C. cornucopioides, and species of the genus Pseudomonas. It has also been detected in the aerial parts of C. ladanifer, where its concentration exhibits seasonal variation.
