Bilaid C is a tetrapeptide μ-opioid receptor agonist (Ki= 210 nM in HEK293 cell membranes expressing the human receptor) that has been found inPenicillium.1It inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation by 77% in HEK293 cells expressing the human μ-opioid receptor when used at a concentration of 10 μM. Bilaid C induces inward rectifying potassium channel (Kir) currents in rat locus coeruleus slices that endogenously express high levels of the μ-opioid receptor (EC50= 4.2 μM).

Flupirtine HCl is the salt form of Flupirtine, also known as W-2964, an aminopyridine that functions as a centrally acting non-opioid analgesic. It first became available in Europe in 1984, and is sold mainly under the names Katadolon, Trancolong, Awegal, Efiret, Trancopal Dolo, and Metanor. Like nefopam, it is unique among analgesics in that it is a non-opioid, non-NSAID, non-steroidal centrally acting analgesic. Flupirtine is a selective neuronal potassium channel opener that also has NMDA receptor antagonist and GABAA receptor modulatory properties.
Decanoyl Chloride is used in the synthesis of an effective metalloproteinase inhibitor. Also acts as a reagent in the synthesis of reversible α-ketoheterocycle inhibitors of fatty acid amide hydrolase as potnetial analgesics.
