Beta-carotene (Provitamin A) is A class of carotenoid compounds that are naturally occurring precursors of vitamin A. Beta-carotene is a ROS regulator with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. β -carotene can be either an antioxidant or a pro-oxidant, depending on its intrinsic properties and the REDOX potential of the biological environment it acts on. β -carotene can induce apoptosis of breast cancer cells and has anti-cancer activity.

| L-Glutamine-15N2
L-Glutamine-15N2 is the 15N-labeled L-Glutamine. L-Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid present abundantly throughout the body and involved in many metabolic processes. L-Glutamine provides a source of carbons for oxidation in some cells. |
| S-Me-DM4
S-Me-DM4 is a metabolite of DM4 S-methylated by intracellular enzyme. |
| 4-Hydroxyestradiol
4-Hydroxyestradiol (4-Hydroxy-17β-estradiol) is an endogenous metabolite of Estradiol. 4-Hydroxyestradiol inhibits the binding of Estradiol to the estrogen receptor in a competitive manner, with a Ki of 0.48 nM. 4-Hydroxyestradiol is carcinogenic and shows mutagenic activity in breast epithelial cells. |
| Isolithocholic acid
Isolithocholic acid (β-Lithocholic acid) is an isomer of Lithocholic acid. Isolithocholic acid, a bile acid, is formed by microbial metabolism of Lithocholic acid or Lithocholic acid 3α-sulfate. |
| 1-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
1-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is an lysophosphatidylcholine. 1-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine exhibits proinflammatory activity. 1-Palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine can be used in the research of atherosclerosis. |
