We estimate sensitivity coefficients to variation of the fine-structure constant alpha and electron-to-proton mass ratio mu for microwave Lambda-type transitions in CH molecule and for inversion-rotational transitions in partly deuterated ammonia NH2D. Sensitivity coefficients for these systems are large and strongly depend on the quantum numbers of the transition. This can be used for the search for possible variation of alpha and mu.
