5-Hydroxylysine
5-Hydroxylysine (Hyl), also known as hydroxylysine or 5-Hydroxy-L-lysine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as L-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain amino (–NH2) and carboxyl (–COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid. 5-Hydroxylysine is a hydroxylated derivative of the amino acid lysine that is present in certain collagens, the chief structural protein of mammalian skin and connective tissue. 5-Hydroxylysine arises from a post-translational hydroxy modification of lysine and is biosynthesized from lysine via oxidation by lysyl hydroxylase enzymes. 5-Hydroxylysine can then undergo further modification by glycosylation, giving rise to galactosyl hydroxylysine (GH) and glucosylgalactosyl hydroxylysine (GGH). These glycosylated forms of hydroxylysine contribute to collagen’s unusual toughness and resiliency. The monoglycosylated, galactosyl-hydroxylysine is enriched in bone compared with the disaccharide form, glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxylysine, which is the major form in skin. 5-Hydroxylysine exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. It was first discovered in 1921 by Donald Van Slyke. Free forms of hydroxylysine arise through proteolytic degradation of collagen. Urinary excretion of 5-Hydroxylysine and its glycosides can be used as an index of collagen degradation, with high levels being indicative of more rapid or extensive collagen degradation (often seen in patients with thermal burns, Pagets disease of bone or hyperphosphatasia) (PMID: 404321). One of the natural protein-bound amino acids. Occurs free in plant tissues, e.g. Medicago sativa (alfalfa)
Esmolol
Esmolol (trade name Brevibloc) is a cardioselective beta1 receptor blocker with rapid onset, a very short duration of action, and no significant intrinsic sympathomimetic or membrane stabilising activity at therapeutic dosages. Esmolol decreases the force and rate of heart contractions by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors of the sympathetic nervous system, which are found in the heart and other organs of the body. Esmolol prevents the action of two naturally occurring substances: epinephrine and norepinephrine.

2-Hydroxypyridine
This colourless crystalline solid is used in peptide synthesis. It is well known to form hydrogen bonded structures somewhat related to the base-pairing mechanism found in RNA and DNA. It is also a classic case of a molecule that exists as tautomers. Some publications only focus one of the two possible patterns, and neglect the influence of the other. For example, to calculation of the energy difference of the two tautomers in a non-polar solution will lead to a wrong result if a large quantity of the substance is on the side of the dimer in an equilibrium. The direct tautomerisation is not energetically favoured, but a dimerisation followed by a double proton transfer and dissociation of the dimer is a self catalytic path from one tautomer to the other. Protic solvents also mediate the proton transfer during the tautomerisation. Acquisition and generation of the data is financially supported in part by CREST/JST. KEIO_ID H021 α-Pyridone is an endogenous metabolite.

Estriol
Estriol is a metabolite of estrone metabolized via 16alpha-hydroxyestrone through the enzyme 16alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.147) or to 2- or 4-hydroxyestrone (catechol estrogens) by the action of catecho-O-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.6). The latter metabolites can be formed in the brain and may compete with receptors for catecholamines. Metabolites are conjugated with sulfate or glucuronide before excretion by the kidney. During pregnancy, estriol constitutes 60-70\\\\% of the total estrogens, increasing to 300-500-fold in relation to non-pregnant women. The late term human fetus produces relatively large amounts of 16 alphahydroxy DHEA, which serves the mother as a precursor of estriol. It has been shown that 90\\\\% of the precursors for the formation of estriol are of fetal origin. If abnormal maternal serum screening results, specifically low levels of unconjugated estriol in the second trimester are detected, a diagnosis of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS),or RSH is suspected. SLOS is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the gene encoding 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (EC 1.3.1.21, DHCR7). (PMID: 16202579, 16112271, 16097001).

Bromide
Bromine is a brown or red liquid with a characteristic odor. Bromine is mainly used in the manufacture of dyes, inks, flame retardants, pharmaceuticals and chemical warfare agents. Occupational exposure to bromine may occur during the production and the application of bromine compounds and during other industrial activities. This compound is adsorbed into the human body through the respiratory tract, skin (occupational exposure) and alimentary tract (general population). Physiologically, bromine exists as an ion in the body. Slight eye irritation occurs as a consequence of chronic exposure to bromine vapors at concentration of 1 mg/m3. Higher concentrations increase this effect and cause nasal and skin irritation. Many years observations have shown that during occupational exposure to bromine vapors at concentrations of up to 0.7 mg/m3 (0.1 ppm), there are no observed adverse effects. From cytotoxicity and mutagenicity assays, it is known that brominated organic compounds are more toxic than chlorinated organic compounds. However, only a limited number of brominated organic compounds have been regulated. (PMID: 17316744). Bromine is a brown or red liquid with a characteristic odor.

Diluent in colour additive mixtures for food us 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.

Magnesium oxide
Magnesium oxide is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an inorganic compound that occurs in nature as the mineral periclase. In aqueous media combines quickly with water to form magnesium hydroxide. It is used as an antacid and mild laxative and has many nonmedicinal uses. [PubChem]The term "Milk of Magnesia" was first used to describe a white aqueous, mildly alkaline suspension of magnesium hydroxide formulated at about 8\\%w/v. Milk of magnesia is primarily used to alleviate constipation, but can also be used to relieve indigestion and heartburn. When taken internally by mouth as a laxative, the osmotic force of the magnesia suspension acts to draw fluids from the body and to retain those already within the lumen of the intestine, serving to distend the bowel, thus stimulating nerves within the colon wall, inducing peristalsis and resulting in evacuation of colonic contents. Magnesium supplements have also been shown to reduce platelet aggregation by inhibiting in the influx of calcium, a crucial component of platelet aggregation.

Lithium
Lithium (Li) is an alkali metal. First described as a mood stabilizer in 1949, it remains an efficacious treatment for bipolar disorders. Recent emerging evidence of its neuroprotective and neurogenic effects alludes to lithiums potential therapeutic use in stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. One intriguing clinical application is in the treatment of Alzheimers disease. Ongoing clinical trials are evaluating lithiums abilities to lower tau and beta-amyloid levels in cerebrospinal fluid in Alzheimers patients. Lithium reduces brain inositol levels by inhibiting the enzyme inositol monophosphatase. This suggests that inositol monophosphatase inhibition is a key mechanism of Lis therapeutic action and that design of new inositol monophosphatase inhibitors may be a practical strategy to create new compounds with Li-like therapeutic effects. Lithium reduces the severity of some behavioral complications of Alzheimers disease (AD). And there are growing indications that Li may be of benefit to the underlying pathology of AD, as well as an array of other common CNS disorders, including stroke, Parkinsons disease, and Huntingtons disease. Physiologically, it exists as an ion in the body. Despite these demonstrated and prospective therapeutic benefits, Lis mechanism of action remains elusive, and opinions differ regarding the most relevant molecular targets. Lithium inhibits several enzymes; significant among these are inositol monophosphatase (IMPase), glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), and the proteasome. Lithium has a narrow therapeutic range, and several well characterised adverse effects limit the potential usefulness of higher doses. Acute ingestion in Li-naive patients is generally associated with only short-lived exposure to high concentrations, due to extensive distribution of Li throughout the total body water compartment. Conversely, chronic toxicity and acute-on-therapeutic ingestion are associated with prolonged exposure to higher tissue concentrations and, therefore, greater toxicity. Lithium toxicity may be life threatening, or result in persistent cognitive and neurological impairment. Therefore, enhanced Li clearance has been explored as a means of minimizing exposure to high tissue concentrations. Although haemodialysis is highly effective in removing circulating Li, serum concentrations often rebound so repeated or prolonged treatment may be required. Continuous arteriovenous haemodiafiltration and continuous venovenous haemodiafiltration increase Li clearance, albeit to a lesser extent than haemodialysis, and are more widely accessible. Lithium reduces brain inositol levels by inhibiting IMPase, suggesting that IMPases inhibition is a key mechanism of Lis therapeutic action and that design of new IMPase inhibitors may be a practical strategy to create new compounds with Li-like therapeutic effects. (PMID: 17688381, 17316163, 8110911, 17288494). Lithium is found in many foods, some of which are endive, yellow zucchini, romaine lettuce, and common bean. Lithium (Li) is an alkali metal.

CYCLOHEXYLAMINE
A primary aliphatic amine consisting of cyclohexane carrying an amino substituent.
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.
