4-Fluorophenibut (developmental code name CGP-11130; also known as β-(4-fluorophenyl)-γ-aminobutyric acid or β-(4-fluorophenyl)-GABA) is a GABAB receptor agonist which was never marketed. It is selective for the GABAB receptor over the GABAA receptor (IC50 = 1.70 μM and > 100 μM, respectively). The drug is a GABA analogue and is closely related to baclofen (β-(4-chlorophenyl)-GABA), tolibut (β-(4-methylphenyl)-GABA), and phenibut (β-phenyl-GABA). It is less potent as a GABAB receptor agonist than baclofen but more potent than phenibut.
TAB29 is a potent peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (Pin1) inhibitor (IC50 of 874 nM), with therapeutic potential for human cancers.
DB293 is an inhibitor of PIT-1 and BRN-3 transcription factors. DB293 binds as head-to-tail stacked dimers in the minor groove of 5'-ATGA sequence, thereby leading to an increase in the size of minor groove.
7,10-dihydroxy-8(E)-Octadecenoic acid is a hydroxy fatty acid and metabolite of oleic acid that is produced byP. aeruginosafrom vegetable oils.1It is active against the food-borne pathogenic bacteriaS. aureus,S. typhimurium,L. monocytogenes,B. subtilis, andE. coli(MIC50s = 31.3, 125, 125, 62.5, and 250 μg ml, respectively), as well as the plant pathogenic bacteriaErwinia,R. solanacearum,C. glutamicum, andP. syringae(MIC90s = 125, 125, 250, and 500 μg ml, respectively).2,1 1.Sohn, H.-R., Bae, J.-H., Hou, C.T., et al.Antibacterial activity of a 7,10-dihydroxy-8(E)-octadecenoic acid against plant pathogenic bacteriaEnzyme Microb.

Thiocoraline is a depsipeptide and DNAbis-intercalator originally isolated fromMicromonosporawith antibacterial and anticancer activities.1,2It is active against the Gram-positive bacteriaS. aureus,B. subtilis, andM. luteus(MICs = 0.05, 0.05, and 0.03 μg ml, respectively) but not Gram-negativeE. coli,K. pneumoniae, orP. aeruginosa(MICs = >100 μg ml for all).1Thiocoraline inhibits RNA and DNA polymerase and thymidylate synthase (IC50s = 6, 6, and 15 μg ml, respectively), as well as RNA and DNA synthesisin vitro(IC50s = 0.008 and 0.4 μg ml, respectively). It is cytotoxic to P388, A549, HT-29, and MEL-28 cancer cells (IC50s = 0.002, 0.002, 0.01, and 0.002 μg ml, respectively). 1.Romero, F., Espilego, F., Pérez Baz, J., et al.Thiocoraline, a new depsipeptide with antitumor activity produced by a marine Micromonospora.
