Food Sourced Compound Library

Catalog No. L6910

Food is the foundation of human survival and development, referring to a series of edible substances that can meet the body's nutritional needs and sustain life activities. These substances not only provide the essential energy and basic nutrients—such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals—required for bodily functions, but also play an irreplaceable role in regulating physiological functions, promoting health, and preventing chronic diseases.

Modern nutritional science has revealed that the health benefits of many foods stem from the bioactive compounds they contain. Although these components are not directly involved in energy metabolism, they perform important regulatory functions at the molecular level. For example, catechins in green tea possess powerful antioxidant capabilities, effectively neutralizing free radicals and reducing oxidative stress-induced cellular damage, thereby slowing aging and lowering the risk of diseases such as cancer. Blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, which not only help improve vision but can also cross the blood-brain barrier to exert neuroprotective effects, supporting cognitive function and slowing the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Meanwhile, allicin in garlic exhibits broad-spectrum antibacterial and antiviral activity, while also regulating lipid metabolism, helping to lower cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health.

The TargetMol Food Sourced Compound Library contains 1979 compounds and can be used to screen for compounds with specific pharmacological properties, such as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, or neuroprotective effects, thereby aiding in the development of new drugs or dietary supplements.
