Glycerol or glycerin is a colourless, odourless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and mostly non-toxic. It is widely used in the food industry as a sweetener and humectant and in pharmaceutical formulations. Glycerol is an important component of trigl

(4Z,6E)-5-hydroxy-1,7-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hepta-4,6-dien-3-one shows growth inhibitory activity in vitro versus bloodstream forms of African trypanosomes, with the IC(50) value in the range of 1-3 microg/mL.

Polymyxin B2, a significant component of polymyxin B, is an antibiotic cationic lipopeptide initially derived from B. polymyxa. This compound effectively inhibits P. aeruginosa, A. baumannii, K. pneumoniae, and E. cloacae strains, exhibiting minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 1-2, 0.5-1, 0.25-0.5, and 0.25-1 µg/ml, respectively. Notably, in a mouse model of P. aeruginosa bloodstream infection, administration of polymyxin B2 at a dosage of 4 mg/kg has been shown to decrease the number of colony-forming units (CFUs) in the blood.

Probucol (DH-581), an anti-hyperlipidemic drug, can lower the level of cholesterol in the bloodstream by increasing the LDL catabolic rate.

1-Caffeoylquinic acid is an important intermediate in lignin biosynthesis. 1-Caffeoylquinic acid has anti-influenza, and antioxidant activities, it also slows the release of glucose into the bloodstream after a meal.
