EPI-589, a quinone derivative and oxidoreductase enzyme inhibitor, is considered safe and well tolerated, showing promise for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
3-epi-25-hydroxy Vitamin D3is the C-3 epimer of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3.1Dietary administration of 3-epi-25-hydroxy vitamin D3(0.5 and 1 IU g) decreases levels of serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) in male, but not female, weanling rats. 1.Djekic-Ivankovic, M., Lavery, P., Agellon, S., et al.The C-3α epimer of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol from endogenous and exogenous sources supports normal growth and bone mineral density in weanling ratsJ.

Chlortetracycline is an analog of tetracycline , a broad spectrum antibiotic. In addition to its actions against microorganisms, chlortetracycline suppresses inflammation by inhibiting neutrophil action and other aspects of the innate immune response. 4-epi-Chlortetracycline is an epimer of chlortetracycline.
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) compounds are produced by both enzymatic and non-enzymatic processes. The products of enzymatic origin, via Leukotriene A4 (LTA4) hydrolase, are stereospecifically 12(R). Non-enzymatic hydrolysis products are 50:50 mixtures at C-12, but are almost exclusively trans at C-6. Thus, the non-enzymatic hydrolysis product of LTA4 is 6-trans-12-epi LTB4. 12-epi LTB4 is an isomer which would not be expected to occur in either non-enzymatic hydrolysis products, or in the enzymatic products of LTA4 hydrolase. Compared to LTB4, 12-epi LTB4 has significantly reduced activity for the LTB4 receptor on human neutrophils (IC50 of 7.5 mM), and on guinea pig lung membranes with a (Ki of 4.7 mM). 12-epi LTB4 is an weak agonist at both the recombinant human BLT1 and BLT2 receptors, requiring approximately 10 mM for full activation of the receptor.
