1-Hexadecanol is a fatty alcohol, a lipophilic substrate. 1-Hexadecanol can be used for the research of ferroptosis.

1-Undecanol (Undecyl alcohol) is the main product generated from the degradation of 2-tridecanone by Pseudomonas bacteria isolated from the soil. 1-Undecanol can enhance the attraction of Grapholita molesta to sex pheromone traps.

1-Heptanol (n-Heptyl alcohol) is a linear primary fatty alcohol. 1-Heptanol selectively inhibits the activating phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK and reduces the phosphorylation level of IκB-α. 1-Heptanol increases plasma membrane fluidity, decreases membrane thermal stability, alters the coupling kinetics of STIM1-ORAI1, inhibits the production of ROS and LTC₄, and induces the expression of HSP70. 1-Heptanol is used in the fragrance industry due to its pleasant odor.

1,16-Hexadecanediol (Hexadecamethylene glycol) is a diol compound derived from plant wax and an inducer of appressorium formation in Magnaporthe grisea. Its activities include reversing PepEST-mediated inhibition and promoting the accumulation of α-1,3-glucan (a-1,3-glucan) on germ tubes and appressoria. 1,16-Hexadecanediol activates the Mps1 MAP kinase pathway through Mps1p phosphorylation. 1,16-Hexadecanediol can be used for research on rice blast and anthracnose.

1-Pentadecanol is a long-chain fatty alcohol found in the leaves of Solena amplexicaulis. 1-Pentadecanol shows antibacterial activity with a MIC of 20 μg/mL against Salmonella gallinarum. 1-Pentadecanol can be used for the research of Salmonella gallinarum infection.

1-Tetradecanol is a straight-chain saturated fatty alcohol and antibacterial agent. 1-Tetradecanol can be isolated from Myristica fragrans. 1-Tetradecanol possesses antibacterial and anti-inflammatory (periodontitis) activity.

Falcarindiol, an orally active polyacetylenic oxylipin, activates PPARγ and increases the expression of the cholesterol transporter ABCA1 in cells. Falcarindiol induces apoptosis and autophagy. Falcarindiol has anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anticancer and antidiabetic properties. Falcarindiol is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.

1-Octacosanol is a straight-chain aliphatic 28-carbon fatty alcohol and a major component of the cholesterol-lowering agent Policosanol. 1-Octacosanol exhibits various activities such as anti-fatigue, anti-angiogenic, cholesterol-lowering, and insecticidal effects.

1-Decanol (Decyl alcohol) is a nematicidal agent derived from Houttuynia cordata, with an LC₅₀ of 31.5 μg/mL against potato cyst nematodes (PCN). 1-decanol directly damages nematode surface structures, induces cellular apoptosis, and disrupts the oxidative stress regulation system, while also downregulating defense-related metabolic pathways in potato, thereby promoting the reallocation of metabolic resources from defense to growth. 1-Decanol can be used for the research of potato cyst nematode infestation.

1-Hydroxyoctadecane (Stearyl alcohol) is a long-chain fatty alcohol and excipient. 1-Hydroxyoctadecane forms a closed oil film, thereby reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and promoting skin moisturization. 1-Hydroxyoctadecane improves Imiquimod (HY-B0180)-induced psoriatic skin inflammation in mice.

1-Eicosanol (Arachidyl alcohol) is a long-chain fatty alcohol and volatile organic compound that can be isolated from the leaves of Leea indica and produced by Bacillus velezensis ZJ1. 1-Eicosanol inhibits mycelial growth of Alternaria solani and Botrytis cinerea. 1-Eicosanol is applicable to research related to tomato early blight and tomato gray mold.

(+)-(3R,8S)-Falcarindiol ((3R,8S)-Falcarindiol; 3 (R),8 (S),9 (Z)-Falcarindiol) is an orally active polyacetylene anti-mycobacterial agent. (+)-(3R,8S)-Falcarindiol exhibits antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and mycobacteria. Co-administration of (+)-(3R,8S)-Falcarindiol with (3R)-falcarinol alters the composition of gut microbiota, reduces colonic tumor lesions and slows down polyp growth. (+)-(3R,8S)-Falcarindiol can be used in research related to tuberculosis and colorectal cancer.

1-Tridecanol is an organic compound commonly used as a surfactant, lubricant, and stabilizer, among others. It can be used in some cleaning products, preservatives and plastic additives, and can help enhance their performance and stability. In addition, the compound is used in some industrial fields, for example in the manufacture of products such as cellulose and paints. Although the compound has no direct medical application, it plays an important role in consumer products and industrial production.

10-Undecen-1-ol, converted from ricinoleic acid, can be used as a comonomer for the introduction of functional groups.

Falcarinol (Panaxynol) is a natural, orally active Hsp90 inhibitor targeting both the N-terminal and C-terminal of Hsp90 with limited toxicities. Falcarinol (Panaxynol) induces apoptosis. Falcarinol is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
