Methyldopa (MK-351), an alpha-adrenergic agonist (selective for α2-adrenergic receptors) psychoactive medicine, is served as an antihypertensive or sympatholytic.

Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate (Glycyrrhizin) , an extensively used anti-inflammatory agent, is isolated from the licorice root. It is metabolized to glycyrrhetinic acid, which inhibits 11-β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and other enzymes involved in the metabolism of corticosteroids. Therefore, glycyrrhizic acid, the main and sweet component of licorice, has been studied for its ability to cause hypermineralocorticoidism with potassium loss and sodium retention, edema, increased blood pressure, as well as inhibited the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.

L-Histidine (L-(-)-Histidine) is a semi-essential amino acid (children should obtain it from food) needed in humans for growth and tissue repair, L-Histidine is important for maintenance of myelin sheaths that protect nerve cells and is metabolized to the neurotransmitter histamine. Histamines play many roles in immunity, gastric secretion, and sexual functions. L-Histidine is also required for blood cell manufacture and protects tissues against damage caused by radiation and heavy metals.

Oxalic acid is a strong dicarboxylic acid occurring in many plants. Oxalic acid is produced in the body by metabolism of glyoxylic acid or ascorbic acid.

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.

Oxalic acid dihydrate (Ethanedioic acid dihydrate) is a strong dicarboxylic acid occurring in many plants and vegetables. It is produced in the body by metabolism of glyoxylic acid or ascorbic acid. It is not metabolized but excreted in the urine. It is used as an analytical reagent and general reducing agent.

Cholestenone is an intermediate oxidation product of cholesterol that is metabolized primarily in the liver. It can cause long-term defects in cell function. It is highly mobile in membranes and affects cholesterol turnover and efflux.

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.

Eleutheroside E has anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting NF-κB activities. Eleutheroside E significantly decreases the inflammatory cell infiltration, pannus formation, cartilage damage, bone erosion of CIA mice, the generation of TNF-α and IL-6, the m

Calcifediol (U 32070E) is a naturally occurring product that is metabolized in the liver from vitamin D3, a VDR ligand. Calcifediol is indicated for use as a vitamin supplement for all patients with vitamin D deficiency.

Diacerein (Fisiodar) is a prodrug which is metabolized to rhein. It is currently approved in France for the treatment of osteoarthritis although the use of diacerein is restricted due to the side effects including sevre diarrhea [L780]. Diacerein is under investigation for the treatment of Insulin Resistance, Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2), and Diabetes-Related Complications.

6-Hydroxymelatonin is the main active metabolite and endogenous metabolite of Melatonin via CYP1A2, an agonist of MT2 receptor with antioxidant and neuroprotective effects, and effectively reduces KCN-induced lipid peroxidation and superoxide anion production.

Pi-Methylimidazoleacetic acid, considered a potential neurotoxin, targets the nervous system and may pose significant health risks when absorbed or metabolized within biological systems.

2,2-Dimethylsuccinic acid (2,2-DMSA) is a gut-metabolized biomarker.

Tributyrin (Glyceryl tributyrate), a neutral short-chain fatty acid triglyceride, is a stable and rapidly absorbed prodrug of Butyric Acid. It diffuses through biological membranes and is metabolized by intracellular lipases, releasing effective butyrate directly into cells in vivo, exhibiting potent proapoptotic, antiproliferative, and differentiation-inducing effects.

Potassium 1H-indol-3-yl sulfate (Potassium 3-indoxyl sulfate) is an agonist for the human Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR), a key regulator of immune-inflammatory conditions. A metabolite of tryptophan derived from dietary protein, it is produced by intestinal bacteria and metabolized in the liver. In chronic kidney disease patients with impaired renal function, it accumulates in serum as a uremic toxin, inducing oxidative stress and accelerating disease progression. At 250 μM, it activates NF-Κb, promoting TGF-β1 and Smad3 expression in rat proximal tubular cells, which is associated with profibrotic activity.

Cholestenone is an intermediate oxidation product of cholesterol that is metabolized primarily in the liver. It can cause long-term defects in cell function. It is highly mobile in membranes and affects cholesterol turnover and efflux.

(±)-Enterodiol, the racemate of Enterodiol, is metabolized from lignans found in whole-grain cereals, nuts, legumes, flaxseed, and vegetables by human intestinal bacteria. This compound exhibits apoptotic effects in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and has been identified to possess anti-cancer activities [1] [2].

1β-Hydroxydeoxycholic acid (1β-OH-DCA), recognized as a secondary bile acid, serves as a biomarker for CYP3A. This compound is metabolized from deoxycholic acid specifically by CYP3A4 and CYP3A7 through recombinant human CYP450 enzymes [1].

1,2-Dihydroxynaphthalene, an intermediate isolated from naphthalene metabolism, is confirmed as a precursor to the formation of naphthoquinone. This compound can be further metabolized by certain bacteria (such as Pseudomonas spp.) into compounds like coumarin and salicylic acid.
