(-)-Gossypol
Gossypol has been used in trials studying the treatment of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. (-)-Gossypol or (R)-Gossypol, is the R-isomer of [Gossypol]. Gossypol is a natural product found in Malva pseudolavatera, Hibiscus syriacus, and other organisms with data available. Gossypol is an orally-active polyphenolic aldehyde with potential antineoplastic activity. Derived primarily from unrefined cottonseed oil, gossypol induces cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and inducing apoptosis. This agent also inhibits cell-signaling enzymes, resulting in inhibition of cell growth, and may act as a male contraceptive. (-)-Gossypol is found in fats and oils. (-)-Gossypol is a constituent of Gossypium hirsutum (cotton).(-)-gossypol has been shown to exhibit anti-tumor, anti-cancer and anti-proliferative functions (A7832, A7833, A7834). A dimeric sesquiterpene found in cottonseed (GOSSYPIUM). The (-) isomer is active as a male contraceptive (CONTRACEPTIVE AGENTS, MALE) whereas toxic symptoms are associated with the (+) isomer. Gossypol, also known as gossypol, (+)-isomer or (-)-gossypol, is a member of the class of compounds known as sesquiterpenoids. Sesquiterpenoids are terpenes with three consecutive isoprene units. Thus, gossypol is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Gossypol is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Gossypol can be found in cottonseed, okra, soy bean, and sunflower, which makes gossypol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Gossypol is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Among other things, it has been tested as a male oral contraceptive in China. In addition to its putative contraceptive properties, gossypol has also long been known to possess antimalarial properties. Other researchers are investigating the anticancer properties of gossypol . Gossypol may cause apoptosis via the regulation of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins. It is also an inhibitor of calcineurin and protein kinases C, and has been shown to bind calmodulin (L1239) (T3DB).

myo-Inositol hexakisphosphate
myo-Inositol hexakisphosphate is an intermediate in inositol phosphate metabolism. It can be generated from D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate via the enzyme inositol-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase (EC 2.7.1.158). myo-Inositol hexakisphosphate is also known as phytic acid. It can be used clinically as a complexing agent for the removal of traces of heavy metal ions. It acts also as a hypocalcemic agent. Phytic acid is a strong chelator of important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc and can, therefore, contribute to mineral deficiencies in developing countries. For people with a particularly low intake of essential minerals, especially young children and those in developing countries, this effect can be undesirable. However, dietary mineral chelators help prevent over-mineralization of joints, blood vessels, and other parts of the body, which is most common in older persons. Phytic acid is a plant antioxidant (PMID: 3040709). Myo-inositol hexakisphosphate is a myo-inositol hexakisphosphate in which each hydroxy group of myo-inositol is monophosphorylated. It has a role as an iron chelator, an antineoplastic agent, a signalling molecule, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a mouse metabolite and a cofactor. It is a conjugate acid of a myo-inositol hexakisphosphate(12-). Phytic acid is under investigation in clinical trial NCT01000233 (Value of Oral Phytate (InsP6) in the Prevention of Progression of the Cardiovascular Calcifications). Myo-inositol hexakisphosphate is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655). Phytic acid is a natural product found in Chloris gayana, Vachellia nilotica, and other organisms with data available. Myo-Inositol hexakisphosphate is a metabolite found in or produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Complexing agent for removal of traces of heavy metal ions. It acts also as a hypocalcemic agent. Widely distributed in many higher plants. The Ca salt is used as a sequestrant in food flavouring C26170 - Protective Agent > C275 - Antioxidant
Hemigossypol
Hemigossypol is a sesquiterpenoid. Hemigossypol is a natural product found in Sida rhombifolia, Hibiscus trionum, and other organisms with data available.
Phytic acid
1d-myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate, also known as phytate or phytic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as inositol phosphates. Inositol phosphates are compounds containing a phosphate group attached to an inositol (or cyclohexanehexol) moiety. 1d-myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate is soluble (in water) and an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1d-myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate can be found in a number of food items such as scarlet bean, arrowroot, salmonberry, and roman camomile, which makes 1d-myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 1d-myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate can be found primarily in blood and urine, as well as throughout most human tissues. In humans, 1d-myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include inositol metabolism and inositol phosphate metabolism.
