Medrysone
Medrysone is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a corticosteroid used in ophthalmology. [Wikipedia]There is no generally accepted explanation for the mechanism of action of ocular corticosteroids. However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor, arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2. Initially, the drug binds to the glucocorticoid receptor in the cytosol. This migrates to the nucleus and binds to genetic elements which cause activation and repression of the involved genes in the inflammatory pathway.

3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate
3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate, also known as kdo or 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-octonate, belongs to sugar acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing a saccharide unit which bears a carboxylic acid group. 3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate can be found in a number of food items such as peppermint, okra, horseradish tree, and hazelnut, which makes 3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate may be a unique E.coli metabolite.
