Protoporphyrin IX is the final intermediate in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Protoporphyrin IX acts as a radiation sensitizer enhancing ROS generation even in a hypoxic state and inducing DNA damage. Protoporphyrin IX also acts as a photo sensitizer undergoing photobleaching that occurs through direct degradation by light irradiation. Protoporphyrin IX causes selective improvement of basal cell carcinoma when activated red fluorescence of a peak wavelength at 405 nm. Protoporphyrin IX is promising for research of sonodynamic and photodynamic agents for a wide range of cancers, such as bladder cancer and nodular basal cell carcinoma.

| 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. |
