Bendroflumethiazide
Bendroflumethiazide is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a thiazide diuretic with actions and uses similar to those of hydrochlorothiazide. It has been used in the treatment of familial hyperkalemia, hypertension, edema, and urinary tract disorders. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p810)As a diuretic, bendroflumethiazide inhibits active chloride reabsorption at the early distal tubule via the Na-Cl cotransporter, resulting in an increase in the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water. Thiazides like bendroflumethiazide also inhibit sodium ion transport across the renal tubular epithelium through binding to the thiazide sensitive sodium-chloride transporter. This results in an increase in potassium excretion via the sodium-potassium exchange mechanism. The antihypertensive mechanism of bendroflumethiazide is less well understood although it may be mediated through its action on carbonic anhydrases in the smooth muscle or through its action on the large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channel, also found in the smooth muscle.

AICAR
Aicar, also known as 5-phosphoribosyl-5-amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide or 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribotide, is a member of the class of compounds known as 1-ribosyl-imidazolecarboxamides. 1-ribosyl-imidazolecarboxamides are organic compounds containing the imidazole ring linked to a ribose ring through a 1-2 bond. Aicar is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Aicar can be found in a number of food items such as safflower, greenthread tea, common pea, and wild leek, which makes aicar a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Aicar can be found primarily in saliva, as well as in human skeletal muscle tissue. Aicar exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, aicar is involved in few metabolic pathways, which include azathioprine action pathway, mercaptopurine action pathway, purine metabolism, and thioguanine action pathway. Aicar is also involved in several metabolic disorders, some of which include mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency, xanthinuria type II, and gout or kelley-seegmiller syndrome. AICAR also known as ZMP is an analog of AMP that is capable of stimulating AMP-dependent protein kinase activity(AMPK). AICAR is an intermediate in the generation of inosine monophosphate. AICAR is being clinically used to treat and protect against cardiac ischemic injury. AICAR can enter cardiac cells to inhibit adenosine kinase and adenosine deaminase. It enhances the rate of nucleotide re-synthesis increasing adenosine generation from adenosine monophosphate only during conditions of myocardial ischemia. AICAR increases glucose uptake by inducing translocation of GLUT4 and/or by activating the p38 MAPK pathway. Acquisition and generation of the data is financially supported in part by CREST/JST.

2-Hydroxy-6-pentadecylbenzoic acid
2-Hydroxy-6-pentadecylbenzoic acid is found in cashew nut. Synthesised by immature seeds of Ginkgo biloba (ginkgo).Chemically, anacardic acid is a mixture of several closely related organic compounds. Each consists of a salicylic acid substituted with an alkyl chain that has 15 or 17 carbon atoms; anacardic acid is a mixture of saturated and unsaturated molecules. The exact mixture depends on the species of the plant and the major component is C5:3 all-Z.

2-Hydroxy-6-pentadecylbenzoic acid
Anacardic acid is a hydroxybenzoic acid that is salicylic acid substituted by a pentadecyl group at position 6. It is a major component of cashew nut shell liquid and exhibits an extensive range of bioactivities. It has a role as an EC 2.3.1.48 (histone acetyltransferase) inhibitor, an apoptosis inducer, a neuroprotective agent, an EC 3.4.22.69 (SARS coronavirus main proteinase) inhibitor, an anticoronaviral agent, an antibacterial agent, an anti-inflammatory agent and a plant metabolite. It is a hydroxybenzoic acid and a hydroxy monocarboxylic acid. It is functionally related to a salicylic acid. Anacardic acid is a natural product found in Amphipterygium adstringens, Knema elegans, and other organisms with data available. 2-Hydroxy-6-pentadecylbenzoic acid is found in cashew nut.
