Pregnenolone
Pregnenolone is a derivative of cholesterol, the product of cytochrome P450 side-chain cleavage (EC 1.14.15.6, CYP11A1. This reaction consists of three consecutive monooxygenations, a 22-hydroxylation, a 20-hydroxylation, and the cleavage of the C20-C22 bond, yielding pregnenolone. Pregnenolone is the precursor to gonadal steroid hormones and the adrenal corticosteroids. This reaction occurs in steroid hormone-producing tissues such as the adrenal cortex, corpus luteum, and placenta. The most notable difference between the placenta and other steroidogenic tissues is that electron supply to CYP11A1 limits the rate at which cholesterol is converted into pregnenolone in the placenta. The limiting component for electron delivery to CYP11A1 is the concentration of adrenodoxin reductase in the mitochondrial matrix which is insufficient to maintain the adrenodoxin pool in a fully reduced state. Pregnenolone is also a neurosteroid, and is produced in the spinal cord; CYP11A1 is the key enzyme catalyzing the conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone, the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of all classes of steroids, and has been localized in sensory networks of the spinal cord dorsal horn. In the adrenal glomerulosa cell, angiotensin II, one of the major physiological regulators of mineralocorticoid synthesis, appears to affect most of the cholesterol transfer to the mitochondrial outer membrane and many steps in the transport to the inner membrane. Thus, it exerts a powerful control over the use of cholesterol for aldosterone production (PMID: 17222962, 15823613, 16632873, 15134809).

Pregnenolone acts as a signaling-specific inhibitor of cannabinoid CB1 receptor, inhibits the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that are mediated by the CB1 receptors. Pregnenolone can protect the brain from cannabis intoxication[1][2]. Pregnenolone is also a TRPM3 channel activator, and also can weakly activate TRPM1 channels[3].

1-Tetradecene
1-tetradecene is a member of the class of compounds known as unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. Unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are aliphatic Hydrocarbons that contains one or more unsaturated carbon atoms. These compounds contain one or more double or triple bonds. Thus, 1-tetradecene is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 1-tetradecene can be found in safflower, which makes 1-tetradecene a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. 1-tetradecene can be found primarily in saliva. 1-Tetradecene belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acyclic olefins. These are olefins that do not contain a ring in their structure.
1-Pentadecene
1-Pentadecene, also known as pentadec-1-ene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. These are aliphatic Hydrocarbons that contains one or more unsaturated carbon atoms. 1-Pentadecene is an unbranched fifteen-carbon alkene with one double bond between C-1 and C-2. These compounds contain one or more double or triple bonds. Thus, 1-pentadecene is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 1-Pentadecene is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. 1-Pentadecene is found, on average, in the highest concentration within safflowers. 1-Pentadecene has also been detected, but not quantified, in burdocks and watermelons. This could make 1-pentadecene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Occurs in beef and oakmoss oleoresin. 1-Pentadecene is found in many foods, some of which are animal foods, burdock, safflower, and watermelon.
1-Heptadecene
1-heptadecene is a member of the class of compounds known as unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. Unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are aliphatic Hydrocarbons that contains one or more unsaturated carbon atoms. These compounds contain one or more double or triple bonds. Thus, 1-heptadecene is considered to be a hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 1-heptadecene can be found in burdock and safflower, which makes 1-heptadecene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
