N-Benzyloctadecanamide is a distinct class of secondary metabolites in Lepidium meyenii Walp. (Maca).

Macarangin is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences and the catalog number is T126091.

Macamide impurity 10 is a Macamide impurity that may be used in the study of metabolic diseases.

Macarangioside D is a natural product for research related to life sciences. The catalog number is TN5390 and the CAS number is 819870-23-0.

γ-Hexalactone (γ-caprolactone) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. Thus, Gamma-caprolactone is considered to be a fatty ester lipid molecule. Gamma-Caprolactone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Gamma-Caprolactone exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Outside of the human body, Gamma-caprolactone has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as potato, cereals and cereal products, pomes, alcoholic beverages, and fruits. This could make Gamma-caprolactone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 4-hydroxy-Hexanoic acid gamma-lactone is occasionally found as a volatile component of human urine. In some cases differences up to an order of magnitude are observed. 4-hydroxy-Hexanoic acid gamma-lactone has been found in the polar fraction of human blood. Biological fluids such as blood and urine have been shown to contain a large number of components, some of them volatiles (low boiling point) apparently present in all individuals, while others such are much more variable. Although some of these changes may have dietary origins, others seem to be characteristic of the individual.

Lepidiline A (Macaline A) is a flavonoid lignin with anti-inflammatory activity. Lepidiline A showed cytotoxic activity against HL-60 cells with IC50 of 32.3 μM. It is the active ingredient of Lepidium meyenii Walpers, a plant in the brassica family, and improves the balance of endogenous sex hormones in mice and the fectility of fruit flies. Lepidiline A targets HSD17B1 gene to enhance enzyme activity, improve the efficiency of sex hormone bioconversion, and improve reproductive ability. Lepidiline A has anticancer activity.

Lepidiline B is a flavonolignan that exhibits anti-inflammation activities. It is isolated from the roots of Lepidium meyenii Walpers (Brassicaceae).

N-Benzylpalmitamide (Macamide 1) inhibits fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) in a time-dependent manner and could potentially offer a good alternative for the treatment of pain, inflammation and CNS degenerative disorders.

N-(3-Methoxybenzyl)-(9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadecatrienamide (Macamide Impurity 14) induces osteogenic differentiation and subsequent bone formation of mesenchymal stem cells by activating the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, making it useful for osteoporosis research.

N-(3-methoxybenzyl)-octadecanamide deverts from Maca (Lepidium meyenii Walp.).

N-benzyl-heptadecanamide (N-Benzylheptadecanamide) is a macamide in maca.
