Sucrose (D-(+)-Saccharose) is a nonreducing disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose linked via their anomeric carbons.

Citric acid trilithium salt tetrahydrate (Lithium citrate tribasic tetrahydrate) , the active component of Lithium, is a medicine used in the therapy of psychiatric disease. It has shown the effects of signaling pathways and metabolic in the brain based on the particular disease and clinical condition model. According to the reports, Citric acid trilithium salt tetrahydrate was used as a mood stabilizer when treating bipolar mood disorders (BD) and lower the risk of self-harm in BD patient. In addition,Citric acid trilithium salt tetrahydrate has been the choice drug in the therapy of acute manic episodes.Citric acid trilithium salt tetrahydrate also could dissolve uric acid crystals in urine achieved from patients with gout. Besides,Citric acid trilithium salt tetrahydrate have some dose-dependent side-effects. The the main side-effects of Lithium Citrate is the tendency to inhibit the prostatic acid phosphatase enzyme (PAP), which result in the accumulation of PAP.

L-DOPA (Levodopa) is an orally active metabolic precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine. It can cross the blood-brain barrier and be converted into dopamine in the brain. L-DOPA exhibits anti-hyperalgesic effects and holds potential in Parkinson’s disease research, and it can also be used to induce Parkinson’s disease models.

3-Methyladipic acid is a metabolite of the catabolism of phytanic acid. Patients with adult Refsums disease (ARD) are unable to detoxify phytanic acid by alpha-oxidation, and so the w-oxidation pathway is the only metabolic pathway available for phytanic

Bisphenol A is an endogenous metabolic compound of phenols and is widely used in the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics. It is reproductive, developmental and systemic toxicant and is often classified as an endocrine disruptor. It has been linked to many diseases, including respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, obesity and reproductive disorders.

Lysophosphatidylcholine 18:2 is a mouse metabolite functionally related to linoleic acid.18:2 LysoPC is a major component of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), and low plasma levels of LPC 18:2 have been associated with metabolic disorders such as impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and coronary artery disease.1-Linoleoyl 1-Linoleoyl-2-Hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-PC is also a substrate for the generation of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) from Autotaxin (LysoPLD), which plays an important role in cell motility.

Obafluorin is a β-lactone antibiotic produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 39502, with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, inhibiting tRNA transglycosylase, used in metabolic disease research.

Sphinganine 1-phosphate is an intermediate in the sphingolipid metabolic pathway and is structurally similar to sphingosine. It has a protective effect on the kidney and liver through activation of the S1P1 receptor in mice. D-erythro-Dihydrosphingosine 1-phosphate acts as an agonist for S1P4 in Homo sapiens and may activate GPR63 (G protein-coupled receptor), mainly used in the study of Fabry disease, Gaucher disease, Krabbe disease and Leukodystrophy.

Isocitric acid (Isocitrate), an isomer of citric acid, is a substrate for citric acid cycle and an endogenous metabolite, which has potential for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, Fe-deficiency anemia, and metabolic myopathies associated with a shortage of succinate dehydrogenase and aconitate hydratase, as well as the mutation of the gene of NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1).

3-Methylhistidine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as histidine and derivatives. Histidine and derivatives are compounds containing cysteine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of cysteine at the amino group or the carboxy group

Norlichexanthone has the potential to treat and or prevent lifestyle-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Norlichexanthone has antibacterial and antimalarial activity, it has strong activity against Bacillus subtilis with an IC50 range of 1- 5uM, and also has strong inhibitory effect on the growth of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with an IC50 of 20.95±1.56 uM.
