2-Amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid
2-Amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid (AP-3 or 2-AP3), also known as 3-phosphonoalanine, is a non-proteinogenc alpha-amino acid that is alanine in which one of the hydrogens of the terminal methyl group has been replaced by a dihydroxy(oxido)-lambda(5)-phosphanyl group. It is found in many organisms ranging from microbes to invertebrates to animals. In humans AP-3 is found in diverse tissues, such as liver, intestine and spleen. (PMID: 2627760). 2-Amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid is a ubiquitous naturally occurring phosphonate used as a source of phosphorus by many prokaryotic organisms (PMID: 30119975). The natural occurrence of 2-amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid. the phosphonate analogue of aspartic acid, was first reported by Kittredge & Hughes (PMID: 14214094) in the sea anemone Zoanthus sociatus and the protozoon Tetrahymena pyriformis. It has since been established to be one of the most widely distributed of the biogenic C–P compounds, particularly among the lower marine invertebrates (PMID: 19191873). AP-3 has been determined to be a metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist (PMID: 8836635). It has been shown to block the amyloid precursor protein (APP) release evoked by glutamate receptor stimulation in neurons of the cortex and hippocampus. APP accumulation is believed to produce the damage in Alzheimer’s disease (PMID: 7644542). 2-Amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid (AP-3)is a normal human metabolite found in diverse tissues, such as liver, intestine and spleen. (PMID 2627760) AP-3 is a metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist (PMID 8836635) shown to block the amyloid precursor protein (APP) release evoked by glutamate receptor stimulation in neurons of the cortex and hippocampus; APP accumulation is believed to produce the damage in Alzheimer disease (PMID 7644542) [HMDB] D018377 - Neurotransmitter Agents > D018683 - Excitatory Amino Acid Agents > D018691 - Excitatory Amino Acid Antagonists KEIO_ID A131 DL-AP3 is a competitive mGluR1 and mGluR5 antagonist. DL-AP3 is also an inhibitor of phosphoserine phosphatase. DL-AP3 has neuroprotective effect[1][2][3].
Acetylene
Polyacetylene is also known as ethyne or ethin. Polyacetylene can be found in german camomile and roman camomile, which makes polyacetylene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Polyacetylene (IUPAC name: polyethyne) usually refers to an organic polymer with the repeating unit (C2H2)n. The name refers to its conceptual construction from polymerization of acetylene to give a chain with repeating olefin groups. This compound is conceptually important as the discovery of polyacetylene and its high conductivity upon doping helped to launch the field of organic conductive polymers. The high electrical conductivity discovered by Hideki Shirakawa, Alan Heeger, and Alan MacDiarmid for this polymer led to intense interest in the use of organic compounds in microelectronics (organic semiconductors). This discovery was recognized by the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000. Early work in the field of polyacetylene research was aimed at using doped polymers as easily processable and lightweight "plastic metals". Despite the promise of this polymer in the field of conductive polymers, many of its properties such as instability to air and difficulty with processing have led to avoidance in commercial applications .
Desmopressin
Desmopressin is a chemical that is similar to Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) which is found naturally in the body. It increases urine concentration and decreases urine production. Desmopressin is used to prevent and control excessive thirst, urination, and dehydration caused by injury, surgery, and certain medical conditions, allowing you to sleep through the night without awakening to urinate. It is also used to treat specific types of diabetes insipidus and conditions after head injury or pituitary surgery.

Isophosphamide mustard
Isophosphamide mustard is a metabolite of ifosfamide. Ifosfamide (also marketed as Mitoxana and Ifex) is a nitrogen mustard alkylating agent used in the treatment of cancer. It is sometimes abbreviated IFO.
