Taurine, or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, is an organic acid. It is a major constituent of bile and can be found in the lower intestine and, in small amounts, in the tissues of many animals, including humans. Taurine is a derivative of the sulfur-containing (sulfhydryl) amino acid cysteine. Taurine is one of the few known naturally occurring sulfonic acids. Taurine has the ability to activate autophagy in adipocytes. Taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in the brain and spinal cord, leukocytes, heart and muscle cells, the retina, and indeed almost every tissue throughout the body.

| Gentisuric Acid
Gentisuric Acid is a metabolite of Aspirin, it is a substrate of α-amidating monooxygenase (PAM). Gentisuric acid prevents DNA-damage by Mitomycin C. |
| 5α-Dihydroprogesterone
5α-Dihydroprogesterone (5a-Pregnane-3,20-dione) is the endogenous progesterone metabolite. 5α-Dihydroprogesterone (5a-Pregnane-3,20-dione) decreases cell-substrate attachment, adhesion plaques, vinculin expression, and polymerizes F-actin in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. |
| Adenosine 2',3'-cyclic phosphate sodium
Adenosine 2',3'-cyclic phosphate sodium serves as an extracellular source of adenosine. The release of extracellular 2′,3′-cAMP occurs in response to injury. 2′,3′-cAMP may be used to study the distribution and specificity of its degrading enzymes in the context of unique biological activities. 2′,3′-cAMP may also be used to study apoptosis induced at the level of mitochondrial permeability transition pores. 2′,3′-cAMP is converted into 2′-AMP and 3′-AMP which inhibit proliferation of preglomerular vascular smooth muscle cells and glomerular mesangial cells via A2B receptors. |
| 6α-Hydroxy Paclitaxel
6α-Hydroxy Paclitaxel is a primary metabolite of Paclitaxel. 6α-Hydroxy Paclitaxel (6-Hydroxytaxol) retains a time-dependent effect on organic anion-transporting polypeptides 1B1/SLCO1B1 (OATP1B1) with similar inhibition potency to Paclitaxel, whereas it no longer showed time-dependent inhibition of OATP1B3. |
| Casein (from bovine milk)
Casein is a phosphorus-containing complex protein with α-casein and β-casein as its main components. Casein is an orally active phosphoprotein that can be separated into various electrophoretic components, such as α2-Casein, κ-Casein, β-casein, and γ-casein. Casein can be used in biochemical research, to formulate biological culture media, and as a thickener, emulsifier and stabiliser. |
