Isethionic acid sodium salt (Sodium isethionate) is an organosulfur compound containing a short chain alkane sulfonate linked to a hydroxyl group. Mammals are able to endogenously synthesize Isethionic acid sodium salt via taurine through a possible enzymatic deamination process. Isethionic acid sodium salt can be found in both human plasma and urine. Higher plasma levels of Isethionic acid sodium salt have been shown to be protective against type 2 diabetes.

1-Hydroxyoctadecane (OctadecanolOctadecanol) is a fatty alcohol present in human and is normally incorporated into plasmalogen lipids. Sjogren-Larsson syndrome is defined by the triad of ichthyosis, mental retardation, and spasticity, and patients accumulate fatty alcohols such as Octadenol in the plasma and cultured fibroblasts.

Lyso-globotriaosylceramide is a form of globotriaosylceramide that is lacking the fatty acyl group. It binds to Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) in the presence of cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine but does not bind Stx2. It also reduces viability and aggregation of human neutrophils induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate when used at concentrations of 50 and 1 μM, respectively. Lyso-globotriaosylceramide accumulates in the brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, and spleen in a mouse model of Fabry disease, a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by a deficiency in the enzyme α-galactosidase A. It also accumulates in the urine, kidney, and plasma of patients with Fabry disease. Lyso-globotriaosylceramide levels decrease in response to administration of the α-galactosidase inhibitor 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin in a transgenic mouse model of Fabry disease. Decreases in plasma and urine concentrations of lyso-globotriaosylceramide have been used as a biomarker for efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and other therapies in the treatment of Fabry disease.

Lariciresinol is an enterolignan precursor, it possesses fungicidal activities by disrupting the fungal plasma membrane and therapeutic potential as a novel antifungal agent for the treatment of fungal infectious diseases in humans. Dietary lariciresinol

Thymopentin acetate, primarily secreted by the epithelial cells of the thymic cortex and medulla, serves as an effective immunomodulatory agent. It possesses a short plasma half-life of 30 seconds and significantly enhances the generation of T-cell lineage from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) [1] [2].

Dimethyl sulfone exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. It derives from dietary sources, from intestinal bacterial metabolism and from human endogenous methanethiol metabolism. Dimethyl sulfone is a metabolite occurring in plasma and CSF of normal human.

Pyrocatechuic acid (Catecholcarboxylic acid), a normal human benzoic acid metabolite found in plasma, has increased levels after aspirin ingestion.

L-Allothreonine (L-allo-Threonine) is an essential amino acid in humans. L-Allothreonine is abundant in human plasma, particularly in newborns. Severe deficiency of threonine causes neurological dysfunction and lameness in experimental animals. L-Allothreonine is an immunostimulant which promotes the growth of thymus gland. L-Allothreonine also can probably promote cell immune defense function. L-Allothreonine is highly concentrated in meat products, cottage cheese, and wheat germ.

3-Chloro-L-Tyrosine (Chlorotyrosine), a specific marker of myeloperoxidase-catalyzed oxidation, is markedly elevated in low-density lipoprotein isolated from human atherosclerotic intima. In particular, myeloperoxidase halogenates tyrosine residues in plasma proteins and generates 3-chlorotyrosine (CY). The detection of free chlorotyrosine in blood or urine arises from the degradation of these chlorinated proteins. CY concentrations may be useful for monitoring the activation of neutrophils in asthmatic patients.

Pipecolic acid (2-Piperidinecarboxylic acid), a metabolite of lysine found in human physiological fluids such as urine, plasma and CSF, is an important regulator of immunity in plants and humans alike.

Coenzyme Q9 (Ubiquinone 9) (CoQ9) is a normal constituent of human plasma. CoQ9 in human plasma may originate as a product of incomplete CoQ10 biosynthesis or from the diet.

N-Acetyl-L-arginine (Ac-Arg-OH) belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-l-alpha-amino acids. These are n-acylated alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine serum levels (and other guanidino compounds) were elevated of all the hyperargininemic patients are higher than the normal range. N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Untreated hyperargininemic patients have the highest guanidino compound levels in cerebrospinal fluid. N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine is one of the guanidino compounds found elevated in the serum of an hemodialyzed renal insufficient (uremic) pediatric population. Outside of the human body, N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine has been detected, but not quantified in, apples and loquats. This could make N-a-acetyl-L-arginine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as uremia and colorectal cancer; N-a-acetyl-L-arginine has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder hyperargininemia. During a low-arginine diet, together with sodium benzoate therapy, there was a marked decrease in plasma N-alpha-acetylarginine. N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine increases in urine hyperargininemic patients.

3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is a metabolite of alkylresorcinols in human urine and plasma, a potential biomarker of food intake such as beer, nuts, peanuts, and legumes, and a selective hydroxycarboxylic acid 1 (HCA1) inhibitor.

Mycophenolic acid glucuronide is the glucuronide metabolite of mycophenolic acid in human plasma.

N-Acetylornithine (N-Acetyl-L-ornithine) is a minor component of deproteinized blood plasma of human blood. Human blood plasma contains a variable amount of acetylornithine, averaging 1.1 +/- 0.4 μmol/L. Urine contains a very small amount of acetylornithine, approximately 1 nmol/mg creatinine (1 μmol/day).

L-Alloisoleucine (L-allo-Isoleucine) is a branched chain amino acid and is a stereoisomer of L-isoleucine. It is a common constituent of human plasma (albeit at low levels). L-alloisoleucine is produced as a byproduct of isoleucine transamination. Plasma L-alloisoleucine, which is derived from L-isoleucine in vivo, can be used for the diagnosis of maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), a genetic disorder. Indeed, plasma L-alloisoleucine levels above 5 μmol/L is the most specific and most sensitive diagnostic marker for all forms of MSUD.

(R)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (D-Proline) is an isomer of the naturally occurring amino acid, L-Proline. D-amino acids have been found in relatively high abundance in human plasma and saliva. These amino acids may be of bacterial origin, but there is also evidence that they are endogenously produced through amino acid racemase activity.
