Stachydrine
Proline betaine is an osmoprotective compound found in urine. It is thought to serve an osmoprotective role for the kidney. Proline betaine is a glycine betaine analogue found in many citrus foods. Elevated levels of proline betaine in human urine are found after the consumption of citrus fruits and juices (PMID: 18060588). Proline betaine is a biomarker for the consumption of citrus fruits. Alkaloid from Citrus spp Medicago sativa and Stachys subspecies(alfalfa). L-Stachydrine or also called proline betaine is a biomarker for the consumption of citrus fruits. L-Stachydrine is found in many foods, some of which are capers, pulses, lemon, and alfalfa. Proline betaine, also known as stachydrine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as proline and derivatives. Proline and derivatives are compounds containing proline or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of proline at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Proline betaine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Proline betaine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within capers (Capparis spinosa). Proline betaine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as soy beans (Glycine max), crosnes (Stachys affinis), domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica), limes (Citrus aurantiifolia), and triticales (X Triticosecale rimpaui). This could make proline betaine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Proline betaine is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Proline betaine. Stachydrine is a major constituent of Chinese herb leonurus heterophyllus sweet used to promote blood circulation and dispel blood stasis. Stachydrine can inhibit the NF-κB signal pathway.

Stachydrine
L-proline betaine is an amino acid betaine that is L-proline zwitterion in which both of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen are replaced by methyl groups. It has a role as a food component, a plant metabolite and a human blood serum metabolite. It is a N-methyl-L-alpha-amino acid, an alkaloid and an amino-acid betaine. It is functionally related to a L-prolinium. It is a conjugate base of a N,N-dimethyl-L-prolinium. It is an enantiomer of a D-proline betaine. Stachydrine is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655). Stachydrine is a natural product found in Teucrium polium, Halopithys incurva, and other organisms with data available. Proline betaine is an osmoprotective compound found in urine.

Betaine
Betaine or trimethylglycine is a methylated derivative of glycine. It functions as a methyl donor in that it carries and donates methyl functional groups to facilitate necessary chemical processes. The donation of methyl groups is important to proper liver function, cellular replication, and detoxification reactions. Betaine also plays a role in the manufacture of carnitine and serves to protect the kidneys from damage. Betaine has also been of interest for its role in osmoregulation. As a drug, betaine hydrochloride has been used as a source of hydrochloric acid in the treatment of hypochlorhydria. Betaine has also been used in the treatment of liver disorders, for hyperkalemia, for homocystinuria, and for gastrointestinal disturbances. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th Ed, p1341). Betaine is found in many foods, some of which are potato puffs, poppy, hazelnut, and garden cress. Betaine. CAS Common Chemistry.

Cyclohexane
Cyclohexane appears as a clear colorless liquid with a petroleum-like odor. Used to make nylon, as a solvent, paint remover, and to make other chemicals. Flash point -4 °F. Density 6.5 lb / gal (less than water) and insoluble in water. Vapors heavier than air. Cyclohexane is an alicyclic hydrocarbon comprising a ring of six carbon atoms; the cyclic form of hexane, used as a raw material in the manufacture of nylon. It has a role as a non-polar solvent. It is a cycloalkane and a volatile organic compound. Cyclohexane is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H12. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a distinctive sweet odor. Cyclohexane is a saturated hydrocarbon, consisting of a six-membered ring of carbon atoms, with each carbon atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms. The carbon-carbon bonds in the ring are of equal length and angle, giving cyclohexane a regular, symmetrical structure. Due to its ring structure, cyclohexane is more stable than the open-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons with the same number of carbon atoms. It is widely used in industry as a solvent for oils, waxes, and alkaloids, and as a starting material in the production of various chemicals, including adipic acid, cyclohexanol, and cyclohexene. Cyclohexane is also used in the manufacturing of nylon and other synthetic fibers. Cyclohexane exhibits a unique conformational behavior, where it can exist in several different forms, known as conformers. The two most stable conformers are the chair form and the boat form. The chair conformation is the most stable and is characterized by alternating axial and equatorial hydrogen atoms, while the boat conformation has two pairs of hydrogen atoms that are close together, creating strain in the molecule. In terms of its physical properties, cyclohexane has a boiling point of around 80.7°C and a melting point of approximately 6.47°C. It is relatively insoluble in water but miscible with many organic solvents. Cyclohexane is non-polar and therefore does not dissolve ionic compounds or highly polar molecules. Cyclohexane.
