4,5-dioxovaleric acid	A dioxo monocarboxylic acid consisting of a valeric acid core with the two oxo groups at the 4- and 5-positions.	4,5-dioxopentanoic acid
acetylpyruvic acid	A dioxo monocarboxylic acid that is pentanoic acid carrying two oxo groups at positions 2 and 4.	acetylpyruvic acid
integric acid	An eremophilane sesquiterpenoid with anti-HIV-1 activity. It is isolated from Xylaria sp. MF6254.	integric acid
lucidenic acid n	A tetracyclic triterpenoid that is 25,26,27-trinorlanost-8-en-24-oic acid substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 3 and 7 and oxo groups at positions 11 and 15 respectively (the 3beta,5alpha,7beta stereoisomer). Isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum, it exhibits cytotoxicity against tumour cells.	lucidenic acid N
succinylacetone	A dioxo monocarboxylic acid that is heptanoic acid in which oxo groups replace the hydrogens at positions 4 and 6. It is an abnormal metabolite of the tyrosine metabolic pathway and a marker for type 1 tyrosinaemia.	4,6-dioxoheptanoic acid
trimellitic anhydride	A 2-benzofuran compound having oxo groups at the 1- and 3-positions and a carboxy substituent at the 5-position; the cyclic anhydride formed from the carboxy groups at the 1- and 2-positions of trimellitic acid.	trimellitic anhydride
