acid-sensitive

L-Lactic acid ((S)-2-Hydroxypropanoic acid) is a natural product produced by the anaerobic glycolysis of pyruvic acid. L-Lactic acid is a sensitive indicator of tissue hypoxia and can be used as a hemodynamic indicator in critically ill patients.

3-Hydroxyisovaleric acid (Beta-Hydroxyisovaleric acid) is an endogenous metabolite excreted in the urine and can serve as an early and sensitive indicator of biotin deficiency.

2-(4-Methoxyphenyl)acetic acid, a plasma metabolite, is highly sensitive and specific and can be used as a bioindicator to differentiate non-small cell carcinoma patients from healthy controls.

1. Pulegone ((+)-Pulegone) has cytotoxicity followed by regenerative cell proliferation is the MOA for Pulegone-induced urothelial tumors in female rats. 2. Pulegone induces a verapamil-sensitive psychostimulant effect that appears to independ on the opening of L-type calcium channels. 3. Pulegone has negative reinforcing properties and seems to possess anxiolytic-like actions unrelated to the benzodiazepine site of the γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor.

Trans-caffeic acid (3,4-Dihydroxybenzeneacrylic acid) can be used as a highly sensitive fluorescent probe for the detection of laccase in food and can also stimulate the growth of germ tissue.

L-Alloisoleucine (L-allo-Isoleucine) is a branched chain amino acid and is a stereoisomer of L-isoleucine. It is a common constituent of human plasma (albeit at low levels). L-alloisoleucine is produced as a byproduct of isoleucine transamination. Plasma L-alloisoleucine, which is derived from L-isoleucine in vivo, can be used for the diagnosis of maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), a genetic disorder. Indeed, plasma L-alloisoleucine levels above 5 μmol L is the most specific and most sensitive diagnostic marker for all forms of MSUD.

The acyl amides are a family of endogenous lipids that act as potent modulators of pain and inflammation. The best characterized members of this family are the arachidonoyl amides, which includes N-arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA; anandamide). N-palmitoyl glycine (PalGly) contains an 18-carbon saturated fatty acid that is amide-linked to glycine and is structurally similar to the phospholipid-derived N-acyl ethanolamines. Endogenously produced in rat skin and spinal cord, PalGly is present in 100-fold greater amounts in skin and 3-fold greater in brain compared to AEA. Injection of 0.43 μg PalGly in rat hindpaw inhibits heat-induced firing of nociceptive neurons in rat dorsal horn. PalGly treatment induces transient calcium influx in native dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells and in the PTX-sensitive, DRG-like cell line F-11 (EC50 = 5.5 μM).

Kaurenoic acid (kaurenoate) has anti-inflammatory potential in acetic acid-induced colitis, decreases in MDA level. Kaurenoic acid exerts a uterine relaxant effect acting principally through calcium blockade and in part, by the opening of ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Kaurenoic acid exhibits an analgesic effect in a consistent manner and that its mechanisms involve the inhibition of cytokine production and activation of the NO-cyclic GMP-protein kinase G-ATP-sensitive potassium channel signaling pathway. Kaurenoic acid derivatives have an antimicrobial activity of substituted on carbon-15 at concentrations greater than or equal to 250 μg ml. Kaurenoic acid has inhibitory effects on the LPS-induced inflammatory response in RAW264.7 macrophages.

Paederosidic acid methyl ester has antinociception, is possibly related to the pathway of NO-cGMP-ATP sensitive K(+) channels.

Ganoderic acid R, exhibiting notable anticancer properties, effectively hampers tumor growth through apoptosis induction in both multidrug resistance (MDR) tumor cell line (KB-A-1 Dox) and sensitive tumor cell line (KB-A-1), demonstrating significant cytotoxicity.

R-30-Hydroxygambogic acid, a polyprenylated xanthone epimer isolated from the gamboge of Garcinia hanburyi, exhibits cytotoxicity against human leukemia K562 cell lines, with IC50 values of 2.89 μM for the resistant strain (K562 R) and 1.27 μM for the sensitive strain (K562 S). This compound is utilized in cancer research [1].

Hardwickiic acid ((-)-Hardwickiic acid) is a natural compound derived from Pulicaria gnaphalodes with anti-injury receptor properties. It blocks tetrodotoxin-sensitive voltage-dependent sodium channels and exhibits anti-inflammatory and insecticidal activity.

Longistylin A and longistylin C show some cytotoxic effects, with IC(50) values of 0.7-14.7 microM against the range of cancer cell lines. Longistylin A and longistylin C, and betulinic acid show a moderately high in vitro activity against the chloroquine

Isoreserpiline, an indole alkaloid discovered in R. tetraphylla, exhibits a range of biological activities. This compound enhances the antibacterial efficacy of nalidixic acid against both nalidixic acid-sensitive and -resistant E. coli strains through a synergistic effect. Additionally, at a dosage of 25 mg/kg, it mitigates amphetamine-induced hyperactivity in mice.

LysoPC(14:0 0:0) is a lysophospholipid (LyP) and mono-glycerophospholipid.
