Bovinocidin
3-nitropropionic acid appears as golden crystals (from chloroform). (NTP, 1992) 3-nitropropanoic acid is a C-nitro compound that is propanoic acid in which one of the methyl hydrogens has been replaced by a nitro group. It has a role as a neurotoxin, an EC 1.3.5.1 [succinate dehydrogenase (quinone)] inhibitor, an antimycobacterial drug and a mycotoxin. It is functionally related to a propionic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-nitropropanoate. It is a tautomer of a 3-aci-nitropropanoic acid. 3-Nitropropionic acid is a natural product found in Indigofera suffruticosa, Coscinoderma, and other organisms with data available. Bovinocidin is isolated from Aspergillus sp. and moulds contaminating foodBovinocidin belongs to the family of Beta Amino Acids and Derivatives. These are amino acids having a (-NH2) group attached to the beta carbon atom.

Urocanic acid
Urocanic acid (CAS: 104-98-3) is a breakdown (deamination) product of histidine. In the liver, urocanic acid is an intermediate in the conversion of histidine to glutamic acid, whereas, in the epidermis, it accumulates and may be both a UV protectant and an immunoregulator. Urocanic acid (UA) exists as a trans isomer (t-UA, approximately 30 mg/cm2) in the uppermost layer of the skin (stratum corneum). t-UA is formed as the cells of the second layer of the skin become metabolically inactive. During this process, proteins and membranes degrade, histidine is released, and histidase (histidine ammonia lyase) catalyzes the deamination of histidine to form t-UA. t-UA accumulates in the epidermis until removal by either the monthly skin renewal cycle or sweat. Upon absorption of UV light, the naturally occurring t-UA isomerizes to its cis form, c-UA. Because DNA lesions (e.g., pyrimidine dimers) in the lower epidermis can result from UV-B absorption, initial research proposed that t-UA acted as a natural sunscreen absorbing UV-B in the stratum corneum before the damaging rays could penetrate into lower epidermal zones. Researchers have found that c-UA also suppresses contact hypersensitivity and delayed hypersensitivity, reduces the Langerhans cell count in the epidermis, prolongs skin-graft survival time, and affects natural killer cell activity. (E)-Urocanic acid is found in mushrooms. It has been isolated from Coprinus atramentarius (common ink cap) and Phallus impudicus (common stinkhorn). Trans-urocanic acid, also known as 4-imidazoleacrylic acid or urocanate, belongs to imidazolyl carboxylic acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are organic compounds containing a carboxylic acid chain (of at least 2 carbon atoms) linked to an imidazole ring. Trans-urocanic acid is soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Trans-urocanic acid can be found in mung bean, which makes trans-urocanic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Trans-urocanic acid can be found primarily in most biofluids, including sweat, feces, blood, and urine, as well as in human liver and skin tissues. Trans-urocanic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, trans-urocanic acid is involved in the histidine metabolism. Trans-urocanic acid is also involved in a couple of metabolic disorders, which include ammonia recycling and histidinemia. Urocanic acid, produced in the upper layers of mammalian skin, is a major absorber of ultraviolet radiation (UVR).

2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene
Trinitrotoluene, also known as tnt or S-trinitrotoluol, is a member of the class of compounds known as nitrobenzenes. Nitrobenzenes are compounds containing a nitrobenzene moiety, which consists of a benzene ring with a carbon bearing a nitro group. Trinitrotoluene is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Trinitrotoluene can be found in a number of food items such as parsnip, broccoli, highbush blueberry, and sunburst squash (pattypan squash), which makes trinitrotoluene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Trinitrotoluene is formally rated as an unfounded non-carcinogenic (IARC 3) potentially toxic compound. Trinitrotoluene (; TNT), or more specifically 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, is a chemical compound with the formula C6H2(NO2)3CH3. This yellow solid is sometimes used as a reagent in chemical synthesis, but it is best known as an explosive material with convenient handling properties. The explosive yield of TNT is considered to be the standard measure of bombs and other explosives. In chemistry, TNT is used to generate charge transfer salts . In some cases, gastric lavage, activated charcoal, and emetics have been suggested as useful in reducing absorption of the general class of nitro compounds to which 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene belongs (L132) (T3DB).

Urocanic acid
