Adenosine Triphosphate	An adenine nucleotide containing three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety. In addition to its crucial roles in metabolism adenosine triphosphate is a neurotransmitter.
adenosine monophosphate	Adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the sugar moiety in the 2'-, 3'-, or 5'-position.
berlition	antioxidant preparation containing alpha-lipoic acid, used in the neuroprotective therapy of chronic brain ischemia for correction of free-radical processes
methionine	A sulfur-containing essential L-amino acid that is important in many body functions.
octanoic acid	RN given refers to parent cpd; structure in Merck Index, 9th ed, #1764
5'-deoxyadenosine	main heading DEOXYADENOSINE refers to the 3' cpd
s-adenosylmethionine	Physiologic methyl radical donor involved in enzymatic transmethylation reactions and present in all living organisms. It possesses anti-inflammatory activity and has been used in treatment of chronic liver disease. (From Merck, 11th ed)
