Cyclohexan
Diluent in colour additive mixtures for food use. Cyclohexane is found in kohlrabi. Cyclohexane is found in kohlrabi. Diluent in colour additive mixtures for food us Cyclohexane appears as a clear colorless liquid with a petroleum-like odor. Used to make nylon, as a solvent, paint remover, and to make other chemicals. Flash point -4 °F. Density 6.5 lb / gal (less than water) and insoluble in water. Vapors heavier than air. Cyclohexane is an alicyclic hydrocarbon comprising a ring of six carbon atoms; the cyclic form of hexane, used as a raw material in the manufacture of nylon. It has a role as a non-polar solvent. It is a cycloalkane and a volatile organic compound. Cyclohexane is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H12. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a distinctive sweet odor. Cyclohexane is a saturated hydrocarbon, consisting of a six-membered ring of carbon atoms, with each carbon atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms. The carbon-carbon bonds in the ring are of equal length and angle, giving cyclohexane a regular, symmetrical structure. Due to its ring structure, cyclohexane is more stable than the open-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons with the same number of carbon atoms. It is widely used in industry as a solvent for oils, waxes, and alkaloids, and as a starting material in the production of various chemicals, including adipic acid, cyclohexanol, and cyclohexene. Cyclohexane is also used in the manufacturing of nylon and other synthetic fibers. Cyclohexane exhibits a unique conformational behavior, where it can exist in several different forms, known as conformers. The two most stable conformers are the chair form and the boat form. The chair conformation is the most stable and is characterized by alternating axial and equatorial hydrogen atoms, while the boat conformation has two pairs of hydrogen atoms that are close together, creating strain in the molecule. In terms of its physical properties, cyclohexane has a boiling point of around 80.7°C and a melting point of approximately 6.47°C. It is relatively insoluble in water but miscible with many organic solvents. Cyclohexane is non-polar and therefore does not dissolve ionic compounds or highly polar molecules. Cyclohexane.

Methylcyclopentane
Methylcyclopentane, also known as methylpentamethylene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cycloalkanes. These are saturated monocyclic hydrocarbons (with or without side chains). Methylcyclopentane has been detected, but not quantified, in celeriacs and celery stalks. This could make methylcyclopentane a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. At high amounts methylcyclopentane is a potentially toxic compound and central nervous system depression may occur, with symptoms such as weakness, dizziness, slow and shallow respiration, unconsciousness, and convulsions. Methylcyclopentane is a volatile component of petroleum distillates. Petroleum distillates are aspiration hazards and may cause pulmonary damage, central nervous system depression, and cardiac effects such as cardiac arrhythmias. They may also affect the blood, immune system, liver, and kidney. Volatile hydrocarbons are absorbed mainly through the lungs, and may also enter the body after ingestion via aspiration. Treatment is mainly symptomatic and supportive. Petroleum distillates are also irritating to the skin. Petroleum distillate poisoning may cause nausea, vomiting, cough, pulmonary irritation progressing to pulmonary edema, bloody sputum, and bronchial pneumonia. Gastric lavage, emesis, and the administration of activated charcoal should be avoided, as vomiting increases the risk of aspiration. Isolated from Helianthus annuus (sunflower).

8-Isoprostane
8-isoprostane concentrations are elevated in asthma and increase with the clinical severity and during acute asthma episodes. Isoprostane is formed in the airways of asthmatic patients from peroxidation of poly-unsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes, the effect of reactive oxygen species resulting of the NADPH oxidase of eosinophils, neutrophils and alveolar macrophages, which produces superoxide anion which undergoes dismutation to H2O2. (PMID 16354413). 8-isoprostane is also elevated in Bronchopulmonary dysplasia, which remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in extremely premature newborn infants receiving intensive care and is the most common contributing factor to severe respiratory morbidity and mortality in early childhood. (PMID 14980283). 8-Isoprostaglandin F(2a) is a marker of oxidative stress in the aqueous humour of patients with exfoliation syndrome (XFS) (PubMed ID 12598453). 8-isoprostane concentrations are elevated in asthma and increase with the clinical severity and during acute asthma episodes.

Punicalagin
Punicalagin is the major tannin component of Terminalia catappa and have been characterized to possess antioxidative and anti-genotoxic activities. T. catappa has been a popular folk medicine for preventing hepatoma and treating hepatitis in Taiwan; the leaves contain many hydrolyzable tannins. Although the leaves of T. catappa have been claimed to be effective in preventing hepatoma, the mechanism of its chemopreventive effect remains to be elucidated, and their effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated carcinogenesis are still unclear. (PMID: 16242868). Constituent of Punica granatum (pomegranate) Punicalagin is a polyphenol ingredient isolated from Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) or the leaves of Terminalia catappa L.. Punicalagin is a reversible and non-competitive 3CLpro inhibitor and inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro. Punicalagin is an anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) agent and has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. Punicalagin has the potential for the research of COVID-19[1][2][3].
