Arachidonic acid is subsequently metabolized to prostaglandins and thromboxanes by at least two cyclooxygenase (COX) isoforms, to leukotrienes and lipoxins by lipoxygenases, and to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids via cytochrome p450-catalyzed metabolism. Arachidonic acid and its metabolites play important roles in a variety of biological processes, including signal transduction, smooth muscle contraction, chemotaxis, cell proliferation and differentiation, and apoptosis. Arachidonic acid has been demonstrated to bind to the a subunit of G protein and inhibit the activity of Ras GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). Cellular uptake of Arachidonic acid is energy dependent and involves protein-facilitated transport across the plasma membrane.
Arachidonic acid stimulates adhesion of MDA-MB-435 human metastatic cancer cells to extracellular matrix molecules (collagen IV and vitronectin) .

| 2'-Deoxyinosine
2′-Deoxyinosine is a nucleoside composed of hypoxanthine attached to 2′-deoxyribose via a β-N9-glycosidic bond. It is a DNA damage product resulting from the impairment of DNA by reactive nitrogen species. 2′-deoxyinsine can be used as a model compound to study the chemistry of adduct formation and radical chemistry that may affect DNA structures. 2′-Deoxyinosine is used to produce hybridization-sensitive fluorescent DNA probes with self-avoidance ability. |
| Ribitol
Ribitol (Adonitol) is a crystalline pentose alcohol formed by the reduction of ribose. |
| Glycodeoxycholic Acid
Glycodeoxycholic Acid is an endogenous metabolite. Glycodeoxycholic Acid induces hepatocyte necrosis and autophagy in patients with obstructive cholestasis. |
| Glycolithocholic acid
Glycolithocholic acid, an endogenous metabolite, is a glycine conjugated secondary bile acid. Glycolithocholic acid can be used to study ulcerative colitis (UC), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH0) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). |
| 4-Aminohippuric Acid
4-Aminohippuric acid is a typical substrate of organic anion transport systems. 4-Aminohippuric acid is a diagnostic agent, useful in medical tests involving the kidney, used in the measurement of renal plasma flow. |
