Lucifer Yellow CH dilithium salt is a fluorescent dye commonly utilized for selective staining and studying the photodynamic disruption of eukaryotic and subcellular structures.

Palatinose is a disaccharide having an α(1→6) linkage between D-glucose and D-fructose and is similar to sucrose in its physicochemical properties. It is produced from sucrose in some bacteria by the action of sucrose isomerase. In mammalian gut palatinose is hydrolyzed and absorbed much more slowly than sucrose.

α-santonin is a potent antiparasitic agent.
