Phlorizin
Phlorizin, also known as phlorizoside or phlorrhizen, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as flavonoid o-glycosides. Flavonoid O-glycosides are compounds containing a carbohydrate moiety which is O-glycosidically linked to the 2-phenylchromen-4-one flavonoid backbone. Phlorizin (also referred to as phloridzin; chemical name phloretin-2-‚âà√≠‚Äö√¢¬ß-D-glucopyranoside) is a glucoside of phloretin, a dihydrochalcone, a family of bicyclic flavonoids, which in turn is a subgroup in the diverse phenylpropanoid synthesis pathway in plants. In humans, phlorizin is involved in lactose degradation. Phlorizin is a bitter tasting compound. phlorizin is found, on average, in the highest concentration in a few different foods, such as mexican oregano, european plums, and apples and in a lower concentration in pomegranates and apricots. phlorizin has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as epazotes, durians, chinese broccoli, sesames, and sweet potato. This could make phlorizin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It is of sweet taste and contains four molecules of water in the crystal. Phlorizin is found primarily in unripe Malus (apple), root bark of apple, trace amounts have been found in strawberry. It is poorly soluble in ether and cold water, but soluble in ethanol and hot water. Closely related species, such as pear (Pyrus communis), cherry, and other fruit trees in the Rosaceae do not contain phloridzin. Phlorizin was studied as a potential pharmaceutical treatment for type 2 diabetes, but has since been superseded by more selective and more promising synthetic analogs, such as empagliflozin, canagliflozin and dapagliflozin. Phlorizin is a competitive inhibitor of SGLT1 and SGLT2 because it competes with D-glucose for binding to the carrier; this reduces renal glucose transport, lowering the amount of glucose in the blood. Phlorizin is not an effective drug because when orally consumed, it is nearly entirely converted into phloretin by hydrolytic enzymes in the small intestine. Above 200 °C, it decomposes. Phlorizin is an aryl beta-D-glucoside that is phloretin attached to a beta-D-glucopyranosyl residue at position 2 via a glycosidic linkage. It has a role as a plant metabolite and an antioxidant. It is an aryl beta-D-glucoside, a member of dihydrochalcones and a monosaccharide derivative. It is functionally related to a phloretin. Phlorizin is a natural product found in Malus doumeri, Vaccinium macrocarpon, and other organisms with data available. See also: ... View More ...

D-Ribose
D-Ribose, commonly referred to as simply ribose, is a five-carbon sugar found in all living cells. Ribose is not an essential nutrient because it can be synthesized by almost every tissue in the body from other substances, such as glucose. It is vital for life as a component of DNA, RNA, ATP, ADP, and AMP. In nature, small amounts of ribose can be found in ripe fruits and vegetables. Brewers yeast, which has a high concentration of RNA, is another rich source of ribose. D-ribose is also a component of many so-called energy drinks and anti-ageing products available on the market today. Ribose is a structural component of ATP, which is the primary energy source for exercising muscle. The adenosine component is an adenine base attached to the five-carbon sugar ribose. ATP provides energy to working muscles by releasing a phosphate group, hence becoming ADP, which in turn may release a phosphate group, then becoming AMP. During intense muscular activity, the total amount of ATP available is quickly depleted. In an effort to correct this imbalance, AMP is broken down in the muscle and secreted from the cell. Once the breakdown products of AMP are released from the cell, the energy potential (TAN pool) of the muscle is reduced and ATP must then be reformed using ribose. Ribose helps restore the level of adenine nucleotides by bypassing the rate-limiting step in the de novo (oxidative pentose phosphate) pathway, which regenerates phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP), the essential precursor for ATP. If ribose is not readily available to a cell, glucose may be converted to ribose. Ribose supplementation has been shown to increase the rate of ATP resynthesis following intense exercise. The use of ribose in men with severe coronary artery disease resulted in improved exercise tolerance. Hence, there is interest in the potential of ribose supplements to boost muscular performance in athletic activities (PMID: 17618002, Curr Sports Med Rep. 2007 Jul;6(4):254-7.). Ribose, also known as D-ribose or alpha-delta-ribose-5, is a member of the class of compounds known as pentoses. Pentoses are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains five carbon atoms. Ribose is very soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Ribose can be found in a number of food items such as lemon verbena, devilfish, watercress, and chicory roots, which makes ribose a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Ribose can be found primarily in most biofluids, including urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), saliva, and feces, as well as throughout most human tissues. Ribose exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, ribose is involved in the pentose phosphate pathway. Ribose is also involved in few metabolic disorders, which include glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency, and transaldolase deficiency. Moreover, ribose is found to be associated with ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency. The ribose β-D-ribofuranose forms part of the backbone of RNA. It is related to deoxyribose, which is found in DNA. Phosphorylated derivatives of ribose such as ATP and NADH play central roles in metabolism. cAMP and cGMP, formed from ATP and GTP, serve as secondary messengers in some signalling pathways .

2-Propylamine
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 .
