Methyl 2-hydroxy-4-methylvalerate [Methyl 2-hydroxyisovalerate] is a predominant volatile compound found in Zhenjiang aromatic vinegar.

Oxindole (Indolin-2-one) is an aromatic heterocyclic building block, and its 2-indolinone derivatives are lead compounds in kinase inhibitor research. The oxindole structure is utilized in receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) inhibitors, such as SU4984 and intedanib, making the RTK family a significant therapeutic target for anti-cancer drug development.

2-Phenylethanol (Phenylethanol) is an antimicrobial, antiseptic, and disinfectant. It is used also as an aromatic essence and preservative in pharmaceutics and perfumery.

Anethole (Anise camphor) is a type of aromatic compound that exists widely in nature, widely utilized as a seasoning substance.

L-Tyrosine ((S)-Tyrosine) is a naturally occurring tyrosine and is synthesized in vivo from L-phenylalanine, considered a non-essential amino acid. L-Tyrosine(L-p-Tyrosine) is the levorotatory isomer of the aromatic amino acid tyrosine.

Phenyl acetate (Acetic acid phenyl ester) is an aromatic fatty acid metabolite of phenylalanine with potential antineoplastic activity. Naturally occurring in mammals, phenylacetate induces differentiation, growth inhibition, and apoptosis in tumor cells.

D-Phenylalanine, a necessary aromatic amino acid, is a precursor of thyroxine, dopamine, melanin, and noradrenaline (norepinephrine).

Benzyl alcohol (Benzenemethanol), a colorless liquid, is an aromatic alcohol with a mild pleasant aromatic odor.

Trans-Anethole ((E)-Anethole) , an organic compound, is widely served as a condiment substance. It is a derivative of phenylpropene, a type of aromatic compound that exists widely in essential oils.

Lignin (Lignine), the primary component of plant cell walls, is a renewable aromatic polymer with strong antioxidant activity. This natural complex biopolymer is both biodegradable and biocompatible.

1-Hydroxypyrene (1-Pyrenol), a biomarker of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, is analyzed in urine samples.

Benzil is a bioactive aromatic ketone commonly used as a photoinitiator in polymer chemistry, exhibiting inhibitory activity against human carboxylesterase (hCE1) in Sf21 cells.

Octyl 2-Methylpropanoate is an aromatic and ester compound widely used in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.

4-Isopropylbenzoic acid (Cumic acid) is an aromatic monoterpenoid isolated from the stem bark of Bridelia retusa. 4-Isopropylbenzoic acid shows antifungal activities. 4-Isopropylbenzoic acid is also a reversible and uncompetitive mushroom tyrosinase inhibitor.

Isophthalic acid is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid primarily used as a raw material for the production of polyester resins, alkyd resins, and unsaturated polyester resins, and is widely applied in research and experimentation within the life sciences field.

Apigenin (NSC 83244) is an aromatic oil extracted from the flowers or leaves of the daisy-like plants. Extracts, oils and teas made from chamomile are used for its soothing qualities as a sedative, mild analgesic and sleep medication. Apigenin has not been implicated in causing serum enzyme elevations or clinically apparent liver injury.

Chalcone (Cinnamophenone) is an aromatic ketone that forms the central core for a variety of important biological compounds, which are known collectively as chalcones.

5-Hydroxytryptophan (NSC-92523) is a metabolite of tryptophan and a direct precursor of serotonin. It is a substrate of aromatic amino acid decarboxylase and can be used to induce depression models.

trans-Chalcone (Chalkone) is an aromatic ketone that forms the central core for a variety of important biological compounds, which are known collectively as chalcones.

Histidine (abbreviated as His or H) is an alpha-amino acid. The L-isomer is one of the 22 proteinogenic amino acids, i.e., the building blocks of proteins. It is classified as a charged, polar because of the hydrophilic nature of the imidazole side chain.

Potassium 1-carboxyvinyl hydrogenphosphate (PEP-K) is involved in glycolysis and gluconeogeneis. In glycolysis, PEP is metabolized by Pyruvate Kinase to yield pyruvate. In plants, PEP is involved in the formation of aromatic amino acids as well as in the carbon fixation pathway.

(S)-2-Hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoic acid (L-(−)-3-Phenyllactic acid) is a chiral aromatic compound involved in phenylalanine metabolism. It is likely produced from phenylpyruvate via lactate dehydrogenase. The D-form is derived from bacterial sources, while the L-form is endogenous. Phenyllactate levels are normally very low in blood or urine, but high levels indicate phenylketonuria (PKU) and hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA). PKU is due to a deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), causing phenylalanine to convert to phenylpyruvic acid rather than tyrosine.

Maltol is a type of aromatic compound found in high concentrations in red ginseng and is a potent antioxidant used to enhance flavor and preserve food.

Phthalic acid (1,2-Benzenedioic acid) is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid. It is a human xenobiotic metabolite.
