Hydroquinone
Hydroquinone, also benzene-1,4-diol, is an aromatic organic compound which is a type of phenol, having the chemical formula C6H4(OH)2. Its chemical structure has two hydroxyl groups bonded to a benzene ring in a para position. Hydroquinone is commonly used as a biomarker for benzene exposure. The presence of hydroquinone in normal individuals stems mainly from direct dietary ingestion, catabolism of tyrosine and other substrates by gut bacteria, ingestion of arbutin containing foods, cigarette smoking, and the use of some over-the-counter medicines. Hydroquinone is a white granular solid at room temperature and pressure. The hydroxyl groups of hydroquinone are quite weakly acidic. Hydroquinone can lose an H+ from one of the hydroxyls to form a monophenolate ion or lose an H+ from both to form a diphenolate ion. Hydroquinone has a variety of uses principally associated with its action as a reducing agent which is soluble in water. It is a major component in most photographic developers where, with the compound Metol, it reduces silver halides to elemental silver. [HMDB]. Hydroquinone is found in many foods, some of which are kai-lan, agar, red bell pepper, and jostaberry.

Molybdenum
Molybdenum is a transition metal with the atomic symbol Mo, atomic number 42, and atomic weight 95.94. The pure metal is silvery white in color, fairly soft, and has one of the highest melting points of all pure elements. Physiologically, it exists as an ion in the body. It is an essential trace element, being a component of the enzymes xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, and nitrate reductase. There is a trace requirement for molybdenum in plants, and soils can be barren due to molybdenum deficiencies. Plants and animals generally have molybdenum present in amounts of a few parts per million. In animals molybdenum is a cofactor of the enzyme xanthine oxidase which is involved in the pathways of purine degradation and formation of uric acid. In some animals, adding a small amount of dietary molybdenum enhances growth. Francis Crick suggested that since molybdenum is an essential trace element that plays an important role in many enzymatic reactions, despite being less abundant than the more common elements, such as chromium and nickel, that perhaps this fact is indicative of "Panspermia." Crick theorized that if it could be shown that the elements represented in terrestrial living organisms correlate closely with those that are abundant in some class of star - molybdenum stars, for example, that this would provide evidence of such Directed Panspermia. In small quantities, molybdenum is effective at hardening steel. Molybdenum is important in plant nutrition, and is found in certain enzymes, including xanthine oxidase. Molybdenum is used to this day in high-strength alloys and in high-temperature steels. Special molybdenum-containing alloys, such as the Hastelloys, are notably heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant. Molybdenum is used in oil pipelines, aircraft and missile parts, and in filaments. Molybdenum finds use as a catalyst in the petroleum industry, especially in catalysts for removing organic sulfurs from petroleum products. It is used to form the anode in some x-ray tubes, particularly in mammography applications. And is found in some electronic applications as the conductive metal layers in thin-film transistors (TFTs). Molybdenum disulfide is a good lubricant, especially at high temperatures. And Mo-99 is used in the nuclear isotope industry. Molybdenum pigments range from red-yellow to a bright red orange and are used in paints, inks, plastics, and rubber compounds. Molybdenum is a Group 6 chemical element with the symbol Mo and atomic number 42. The free element, which is a silvery metal, has the sixth-highest melting point of any element. It readily forms hard, stable carbides, and for this reason it is often used in high-strength steel alloys. Molybdenum does not occur as a free metal on Earth, but rather in various oxidation states in minerals. Industrially, molybdenum compounds are used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications, as pigments and catalysts. Molybdenum-containing enzymes are used as catalysts by some bacteria to break the chemical bond in atmospheric molecular nitrogen, allowing biological nitrogen fixation. At least 50 molybdenum-containing enzymes are now known in bacteria and animals, though only the bacterial and cyanobacterial enzymes are involved in nitrogen fixation. Owing to the diverse functions of the remainder of the enzymes, molybdenum is a required element for life in higher organisms (eukaryotes), though not in all bacteria. [Wikipedia]. Molybdenum is found in many foods, some of which are cabbage, gooseberry, french plantain, and turnip. D018977 - Micronutrients > D014131 - Trace Elements
4-Nitrotoluene
P-nitrotoluene appears as a yellow liquid with a weak aromatic odor. Toxic. Insoluble in water. Combustible but may take some effort to ignite. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen when burned. In a spill, immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Can easily penetrate the soil and contaminate groundwater or nearby streams. Used to make other chemicals. 4-Nitrotoluene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H7NO2. It is a yellowish liquid or solid, depending on the temperature, and has a characteristic aromatic odor. This compound is primarily used in industrial applications, such as in the production of dyes, pesticides, and other chemicals. In terms of its toxicity to humans: Acute Toxicity: 4-Nitrotoluene can enter the body through inhalation, skin contact, and ingestion. Acute exposure can lead to irritation of the eyes and skin, headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and liver damage. Chronic Toxicity: Prolonged exposure to 4-nitrotoluene can result in more severe health issues, including damage to the liver and kidneys, effects on the central nervous system, and a potential risk of cancer. Environmental and Health Impact: 4-Nitrotoluene can be found in water and soil, posing a risk to aquatic life. It can also accumulate in the food chain. Due to its toxicity and potential health risks, 4-nitrotoluene is typically subject to strict control and regulation, especially in industrial settings. Appropriate safety measures, such as wearing personal protective equipment and following safe operating procedures, are necessary when handling this chemical.
Trabectedin
Trabectedin, also referred as ET-743 during its development, is a marine derived antitumoral agent discovered in the Carribean tunicate _Ecteinascidia turbinata_ and now produced synthetically. Trabectedin has a unique mechanism of action. It binds to the minor groove of DNA interfering with cell division and genetic transcription processes and DNA repair machinery. It is approved for use in Europe, Russia and South Korea for the treatment of advanced soft tissue sarcoma refractory to or unsuitable to receive anthracycline or ifosfamide chemotherapy.

1-Methyl-4-nitrobenzene
4-Nitrotoluene, being a volatile organic compound, can potentially penetrate the skin epidermis under certain conditions. The skin is a complex barrier that can prevent many substances from entering the body, but it is not impervious to all chemicals, especially those that are small, lipophilic (fat-soluble), and volatile. The epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, consists of several sub-layers, including the stratum corneum, which is the primary barrier to external agents. Substances can pass through the skin via two main routes: transcellular (through the cells) and intercellular (between the cells). The efficiency of this penetration depends on various factors, such as the concentration of the compound, the duration of exposure, the condition of the skin (e.g., damaged or intact), and the chemical's properties. In the case of 4-nitrotoluene, if there is direct contact with the skin, especially in liquid or high vapor concentration forms, it could potentially penetration through the skin layers. This is particularly a concern in occupational settings where workers might be exposed to this compound without adequate protection. To minimize the risk of skin absorption, it is crucial to use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and aprons, when handling 4-nitrotoluene or any other potentially hazardous chemicals. In case of skin contact, it is important to wash the affected area immediately with soap and water and seek medical attention if necessary.
