Vasopressin (argipressin), a cyclic nine-peptide synthesized by hypothalamic neurons, is one of the hormones involved in peptide prohormone synthesis. Vasopressin is involved in the regulation process of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, increasing the amount of solute free water reabsorbed from the renal tubule's colate back into the circulation, narrowing arteries to increase pressure, enhancing the stimulating effect of corticotropin releasing factor to regulate pituitary corticotropin secretion. Vasopressin acts as a neurotransmitter during nerve conduction by binding to specific G-protein-coupled receptors.

Clazamycin A, a microbial metabolite and antibiotic derived from Streptomyces, exhibits efficacy against several bacteria, namely S. aureus, B. anthracis, B. subtilis, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 100, 6.25, 100, 50, and 25 µg/ml, respectively.

4-Trehalosamine, a microbial metabolite identified in Streptomyces, exhibits antibiotic properties. Demonstrating efficacy in cup assays, it is active against E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and B. subtilis at concentrations of 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/ml.

Bactobolin A, a microbial metabolite initially derived from Pseudomonas, exhibits both antibiotic and anticancer properties. It demonstrates activity against various bacteria including S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. faecalis, B. anthracis, B. subtilis, E. coli, S. typhi, and S. dysenteriae, with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 0.1 to 12.5 µg/ml. Additionally, in vivo studies show that bactobolin A enhances survival rates at doses of 0.25 to 4 mg/kg in an L1210 murine leukemia model.

Arylomycin B3 is a microbial metabolite and a structural analog of Arylomycin B2.

Actinorhodin is a blue pigment and a redox-active microbial secondary metabolite. It is a potent, antibacterial, pH-responsive antibiotic (antibiotic) exhibiting antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria.

Arisugacin H is a microbial metabolite and a structural analog of Arisugacin A. Unlike Arisugacin A, Arisugacin H does not exhibit activity against AChE (acetylcholinesterase).

5-aminovalerate (or 5-aminopentanoic acid) is a lysine degradation product. It can be produced both endogenously or through bacterial catabolism of lysine. 5-aminovalerate is formed via the following multi-step reaction: L-lysine leads to cadverine leads
