Monolinuron is a pesticide, more specifically a selective systemic herbicide and an algaecide. As an herbicide, it is used to control broad-leaved weeds and annual grasses in vegetable crops such as leeks, potatoes, and dwarf French beans. Monolinuron affects the photosynthesis in weeds. Following uptake of monolinuron through roots and leaves of weeds, monolinuron causes early symptoms of yellowing and die-back of the leaves, eventually resulting in weed death. In fishkeeping, it is used to control blanket weed and hair algae.

Nutlins are a family of small molecule, cis-imidazoline analogs, which inhibit the interaction between MDM2 and tumor suppressor p53, stabilizing p53 and triggering cell death and senescence. Three nutlins were discovered in the initial small molecule screen (nutlin-1, nutlin-2, and nutlin-3), but nutlin-3 is most commonly used in anti-cancer studies. Nutlins disrupt the p53–MDM2 interaction by occupying a p53-binding pocket of MDM2. Many tumors that express normal p53 and normal or elevated levels of MDM2 may be targeted using nutlin. Nutlin-3 acts quickly in vitro, leading to increased level
