Hypoglycin B
Hypoglycin B is found in fruits. Hypoglycin B is a biologically active component of Blighia sapida (akee apple) Hypoglycin B is a naturally occurring organic compound in the species Blighia sapida. It is particularly concentrated in the fruit of the plant especially in the seeds. Hypoglycin B is toxic if ingested and is a causative agent of Jamaican Vomiting Sickness. It is an amino acid and chemically related to lysine Biologically active component of Blighia sapida (akee apple)
Hederagenin
Hederagenin is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Hederagenin is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Hederagenin can be found in a number of food items such as rye, dill, european cranberry, and black salsify, which makes hederagenin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Hederagenin is the aglycone part of numerous saponins found in Hedera helix (common ivy). The most prevalent of these being hederacoside C and alpha-hederin. It is also one of three primary triterpenoids extracted from the Chenopodium quinoa plant categorized by the EPA as a biopesticide. HeadsUp Plant Protectant is made up of approximately equal ratios of the saponin aglycones oleanolic acid, hederagenin, and phytolaccagenic acid and is intended for use as a seed treatment on tuber (e.g. potato seed pieces), legume, and cereal seeds or as a pre-plant root dip for roots of transplants, at planting, to prevent fungal growth, bacterial growth, and viral plant diseases .
Hederagenin
Hederagenin is a sapogenin that is olean-12-en-28-oic acid substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 23 (the 3beta stereoisomer). It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a pentacyclic triterpenoid, a dihydroxy monocarboxylic acid and a sapogenin. It is functionally related to an oleanolic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a hederagenin(1-). It derives from a hydride of an oleanane. Hederagenin is a natural product found in Zygophyllum obliquum, Sapindus emarginatus, and other organisms with data available. See also: Paeonia lactiflora root (part of); Caulophyllum robustum Root (part of); Medicago sativa whole (part of). A sapogenin that is olean-12-en-28-oic acid substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 23 (the 3beta stereoisomer). Hederagenin is a triterpenoid saponin that can inhibit the expression of iNOS, COX-2, and NF-κB in cells caused by LPS stimulation. Hederagenin is a triterpenoid saponin that can inhibit the expression of iNOS, COX-2, and NF-κB in cells caused by LPS stimulation.

Hypoglycin a
A diastereoisomeric mixture of (2S,4R)- and (2S,4S)- hypoglycin A, found in the edible part of the fruit of the Ackee, Blighia sapida (where the 2S,4R diastereoisomer is more dominant (17\\% d.e.) than its 2S,4S counterpart) as well as in the sycamore maple tree (Acer pseudoplatanus).
