hydrogenation

Worenine (Worenin) is used in the a flurophore switched probe which aids in correction of an abasic site (AP site) caused by the removal of a damaged base in DNA.

Arachidic acid (Icosanoic Acid) is a saturated fatty acid found naturally in fish and vegetable oils (such as those from peanuts). It can also be formed by the hydrogenation of arachidonic acid. Diets rich in saturated fatty acids, such as arachidic acid, are known to increase serum low-density lipoproteins resulting in high blood cholesterol levels.

Dihydrophytol is a saturated diterpene alcohol that functions as a key metabolic intermediate in the endogenous biosynthetic pathway leading to phytanic acid. Dihydrophytol is biochemically produced from the unsaturated alcohol phytol via a hydrogenation process that occurs primarily in the rumen of cattle through the metabolic activity of resident microorganisms.

Dihydrocelastrol is synthesized by hydrogenation of celastrol, a treterpene isolated from Chinese medicinal plant Tripterygium regelii. Dihydrocelastrol could inhibit cell proliferation and promote apoptosis through caspase-dependent way in vitro. DHCE co

Epmedin C (Baohuoside-VI) was metabolized via desugarization, dehydrogenation, hydrogenation, dehydroxylation, hydroxylation, demethylation and glucuronidation pathways in vivo. It has potential activity against osteoporosis by stimulating osteoblasts.
