Vincamine (Perval) is a major alkaloid of Vinca minor L., Apocynaceae. It has been used therapeutically as a vasodilator and antihypertensive agent, particularly in cerebrovascular disorders.

Glucosamine (Chitosamine) is a natural product. Glucosamine is used as a dietary supplement. Glucosamine has pharmacological effects on cartilage and chondrocytes in osteoarthritis when used externally. Glucosamine regulates sugar metabolism. Glucosamine reduces the activity of glucoskinase in pancreatic islet homogenate.

Pantethine (Pantomin) (Bis-pantethine) is a dimeric form of vitamin B5. Pantethine is less stable than pantothenic acid and tends to decompose over time if it is not kept refrigerated, so most vitamin B5 supplements are in the form of calcium pantothenate. It is available as a dietary supplement and is used to treat acne and improve the blood-cholesterol profile.

L-5-Hydroxytryptophan (L-5-HTP) is a naturally occurring amino acid and dietary supplement that serves as a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. It can be used as an antidepressant, appetite suppressant, and sleep aid, and acts as an antagonist to reserpine. L-5-HTP is widely used in research on myoclonus, fibromyalgia, migraine, and cerebellar ataxia, and is also commonly used to induce epilepsy models.

Malic acid disodium hydrate is commonly used as a food additive, buffering agent and nutritional supplement with the ability to enhance food flavor, improve texture and regulate acidity. Hydroxybutanedioic acid disodium hydrate can also be used as a dietary supplement to help increase energy production, reduce fatigue and enhance athletic performance.

Adrenosterone (11-ketoandrostenedione) is a steroid hormone isolated from the adrenal cortex.

Chondroitin sulfate is an important structural component of cartilage and has been used as a dietary supplement for the treatment of joint discomfort.

Pyridoxal phosphate (Vitamin B6 phosphate) is the active form of vitamin B6 and a coenzyme for many pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes. PLP is involved in numerous enzymatic transamination, decarboxylation and deamination reactions; it is necessary for the synthesis of amino acids and amino acid metabolites, and for the synthesis and/or catabolism of certain neurotransmitters, including the conversion of glutamate into gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and levodopa into dopamine. PLP can be used as a dietary supplement in cases of vitamin B6 deficiency. Reduced levels of PLP in the brain can cause neurological dysfunction.

S-Adenosyl-L-methionine disulfate tosylate is a methyl donor with oral activity. S-Adenosyl-L-methionine disulfate tosylate is a dietary supplement with effective antidepressant and pain-relieving effects. S-Adenosyl-L-methionine disulfate tosylate also has anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic and anti-metastatic effects in cancer. S-Adenosyl-L-methionine can be used in the research of liver diseases and osteoarthritis.

(±)-Propionylcarnitine chloride (Propionyl-DL-carnitine chloride) is a mixture of short-chain acylcarnitines used as a dietary supplement for the study of chronic diabetes.

Hydroxocobalamin (Vitamin B12a) is a naturally occurring, injectable form of vitamin B12 used as a dietary supplement to treat B12 deficiency, including pernicious anemia, and is known for its favorable adverse effect profile [1] [2].

Peonidin-3-O-arabinoside chloride (Compound XII) is an anthocyanin isolated from cranberry fruit. It is an inhibitor of pancreatic lipase and a dietary supplement used for studying obesity.

Tridocosahexaenoylglycerol (TG-DHA), an orally active dietary supplement, enhances outcomes in autoimmune encephalomyelitis among mice, exhibits beneficial impacts on neurodegenerative conditions, and fosters macular function improvement in diabetic retinopathy. It is applicable for investigating neurological, inflammatory immune, and metabolic diseases [1] [2] [3].
