Stigmastanol is a 3-hydroxy steroid that is 5alpha-stigmastane which is substituted at the 3beta position by a hydroxy group. It has a role as an anticholesteremic drug and a plant metabolite. It is a 3-hydroxy steroid and a member of phytosterols. It derives from a hydride of a 5alpha-stigmastane. Stigmastanol is a natural product found in Alnus japonica, Dracaena cinnabari, and other organisms with data available. Stigmastanol is a steroid derivative characterized by the hydroxyl group in position C-3 of the steroid skeleton, and a saturated bond in position 5-6 of the B ring. See also: Saw Palmetto (part of).

Metanephrine

4-[1-hydroxy-2-(methylamino)ethyl]-2-methoxyphenol

C10H15NO3 (197.1052)


Metanephrine is a metabolite of epinephrine created by action of catechol O-methyltransferase on epinephrine. Technically it is a product of epinephrine O-methylation. It is a commonly occurring, pharmacologically and physiologically inactive metabolite of epinephrine. The measurement of plasma free metanephrines is considered to be the best tool in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma, a rare kind of adrenal medullary neoplasm. In adrenal chromaffin cells, leakage of norepinephrine and epinephrine from storage granules leads to substantial intracellular production of the O-methylated metabolite metanephrine. In fact, the adrenals constitute the single largest source out of any organ system including the liver for circulating metanephrine. In humans, about 93 percent of circulating metanephrine is derived from catecholamines metabolized within adrenal chromaffin cells. (PMID 15317907).

S-Carboxymethyl-L-cysteine

2-Amino-3-[(carboxymethyl)sulfanyl]propanoic acid

C5H9NO4S (179.0252)


S-carboxymethylcysteine (carbocisteine) is the most frequently prescribed mucoactive agent for long-term COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) use in a number of countries. In addition to its mucoregulatory activity, carbocisteine exhibits free-radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory properties. S-Carboxymethyl-L-cysteine can be found in root vegetables and has been isolated from radish seedlings. S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine can be detectable in urine especially after the processing of chlorinated compounds by gut microlfora.

C7H8O3S (172.0194)


p-Toluenesulfonic acid, also known as tosylate or para-toluene sulfonate, is a member of the class of compounds known as p-methylbenzenesulfonates. p-Methylbenzenesulfonates are benzenesulfonic acids (or derivative thereof) carrying a methyl group at the para- position. p-Toluenesulfonic acid is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). p-Toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA or pTsOH) or tosylic acid (TsOH) is an organic compound with the formula CH3C6H4SO3H. It is a white solid that is soluble in water, alcohols, and other polar organic solvents. The CH3C6H4SO2– group is known as the tosyl group and is often abbreviated as Ts or Tos. Most often, TsOH refers to the monohydrate, TsOH•H2O. It is a white solid that is soluble in water, alcohols, and other polar organic solvents (Wikipedia).

Vanylglycol

1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-diol

C9H12O4 (184.0736)


Vanylglycol, also known as 3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (MHPG), belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. It is synthesized from endogenous epinephrine and norepinephrine in vivo. It is found in brain, blood, CSF, and urine, where its concentrations are used to measure catecholamine turnover. Catecholamines play an important role in platelet activation and aggregation, epinephrine being the most potent one. Vanylglycol and pyrocatechol can be biosynthesized from 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol and guaiacol; which is catalyzed by the enzyme catechol O-methyltransferase. Vanylglycol is a O-methylated metabolite of normetanephrine. In humans, vanylglycol is involved in the metabolic disorder called tyrosinemia in newborns. Alcohol consumption increases the level of vanylglycol in urine and CSF. Vanylglycol is found normally in urine, in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. Outside of the human body, vanylglycol has been detected, but not quantified in several different foods, such as blackcurrants, chinese bayberries, elderberries, oriental wheats, and poppies.

   

2-Propylamine

Isopropylamine:2-Propanamine

C3H9N (59.0735)


Isopropylamine, also known as 2-aminopropane or 2-propanamine, is a member of the class of compounds known as monoalkylamines. Monoalkylamines are organic compounds containing an primary aliphatic amine group. Isopropylamine is soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Isopropylamine is an ammoniacal and fishy tasting compound found in corn and soy bean, which makes isopropylamine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Isopropylamine (monoisopropyl amine, MIPA, 2-Propylamine) is an organic compound, an amine. It is a hygroscopic colorless liquid with ammonia-like odor. It is miscible with water and flammable. It is a valuable intermediate in chemical industry .

   

Proparacaine

Benzoic acid, 3-amino-4-propoxy-, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl ester, monohydrochloride*benzoic acid, 3-amino-4-propoxy-, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl ester, monohydrochloride

C16H26N2O3 (294.1943)


Proparacaine is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a topical anesthetic drug of the amino ester group. It is available as its hydrochloride salt in ophthalmic solutions at a concentration of 0.5\\%. [Wikipedia]The exact mechanism whereby proparacaine and other local anesthetics influence the permeability of the cell membrane is unknown; however, several studies indicate that local anesthetics may limit sodium ion permeability through the lipid layer of the nerve cell membrane. Proparacaine may alter epithelial sodium channels through interaction with channel protein residues. This limitation prevents the fundamental change necessary for the generation of the action potential.
