Parietin
Physcion is a dihydroxyanthraquinone that is 9,10-anthraquinone bearing hydroxy substituents at positions 1 and 8, a methoxy group at position 3, and a methyl group at position 6. It has been widely isolated and characterised from both terrestrial and marine sources. It has a role as an apoptosis inducer, an antineoplastic agent, a hepatoprotective agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, an antibacterial agent, an antifungal agent and a metabolite. It is functionally related to a 2-methylanthraquinone. Physcion is a natural product found in Rumex dentatus, Ageratina altissima, and other organisms with data available.

N-Glycolylneuraminic acid
N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is a widely expressed sialic acid found in most mammalian cells. Although humans are genetically deficient in producing Neu5Gc, small amounts are present in human cells and biofluids. Humans cannot synthesize Neu5Gc because the human gene CMAH is irreversibly mutated, though it is found in apes. This loss of the CMAH gene was estimated to have occurred two to three million years ago, just before the emergence of the genus Homo. A dietary origin of Neu5Gc was suggested by human volunteer studies. These trace amounts of Neu5Gc were determined to come from the consumption of animals in the human diet (i.e. red meats such as lamb, pork, and beef). Neu5Gc can also be found in dairy products, but to a lesser extent. Neu5Gc is not found in poultry and is found in only trace amounts in fish (Wikipedia). Isolated from beef serum KEIO_ID G062
Bovinic acid
Bovinic acid is a conjugated linoleic acid, present in human adipose tissue; the amount of bovinic acid in humans is significantly related to milk fat intake. Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) are a group of naturally occurring fatty acids present mainly in fats from ruminants. Milk contains over 20 isomers of CLA but the predominant one is cis-9,trans-11-CLA (bovinic acid). Biomedical studies with animal models have shown that this isomer has anticarcinogenic and anti-atherogenic activities. Bovinic acid is produced as an intermediate in the rumen biohydrogenation of linoleic acid but not of linolenic acid. However, it is only a transient intermediate, and the major source of milk fat CLA is from endogenous synthesis (PMID: 10393134, 15736916).
Cytidine 5'-monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid
Cytidine 5-monophosphate-N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac), also known as CMP-N-acetyl-β-neuraminic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidine nucleotide sugars. These are pyrimidine nucleotides bound to a saccharide derivative through the terminal phosphate group. CMP-Neu5Ac is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). CMP-Neu5Ac donates N-acetylneuraminic acid to the terminal sugar of a ganglioside or glycoprotein. A nucleoside monophosphate sugar which donates N-acetylneuraminic acid to the terminal sugar of a ganglioside or glycoprotein.

5-Hydroxyisourate
5-Hydroxyisourate (CAS: 6960-30-1) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as xanthines. These are purine derivatives with a ketone group conjugated at carbons 2 and 6 of the purine moiety. 5-Hydroxyisourate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 5-Hydroxyisourate exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, 5-hydroxyisourate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as soybeans, common thymes, poppies, blackcurrants, black elderberries, and rapes. This could make 5-hydroxyisourate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 5-Hydroxyisourate is the product of the oxidation of uric acid by urate oxidase. 5-Hydroxyisourate is a molecule with a formula of C5H4N4O4 and molecular weight of 184.110 g/mol. It is the product of the oxidation of uric acid by urate oxidase. 5-Hydroxyisourate is found in many foods, some of which are nance, cupuaçu, horned melon, and mentha (mint).
physcion
Physcion, also known as emodin monomethyl ether or parienin, is a member of the class of compounds known as anthraquinones. Anthraquinones are organic compounds containing either anthracene-9,10-quinone, 1,4-anthraquinone, or 1,2-anthraquinone. Physcion is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Physcion can be synthesized from 2-methylanthraquinone. Physcion can also be synthesized into torososide B and physcion 8-gentiobioside. Physcion can be found in common sage, garden rhubarb, and sorrel, which makes physcion a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Physcion has also been shown to protect lichens against UV-B light, at high altitudes in Alpine regions. The UV-B light stimulates production of parietin and the parietin protects the lichens from damage. Lichens in arctic regions such as Svarlbard retain this capability though they do not encounter damaging levels of UV-B, a capability that could help protect the lichens in case of Ozone layer thinning .
