| Compound | Description |
|---|
| Glutathione | A tripeptide with many roles in cells. It conjugates to drugs to make them more soluble for excretion, is a cofactor for some enzymes, is involved in protein disulfide bond rearrangement and reduces peroxides. |
| 5-methyltetrahydrofolate | |
| 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) |
| cysteine | A thiol-containing non-essential amino acid that is oxidized to form CYSTINE. |
| methionine | A sulfur-containing essential L-amino acid that is important in many body functions. |
| glycine | A non-essential amino acid. It is found primarily in gelatin and silk fibroin and used therapeutically as a nutrient. It is also a fast inhibitory neurotransmitter. |
| dihydrofolate | RN given refers to (L)-isomer |
| 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid | RN given refers to (DL)-isomer |
| phosphohydroxypyruvic acid | |
| Cystathionine | Sulfur-containing amino acid formed as an intermediate in the conversion of METHIONINE to CYSTEINE. |
| serine | A non-essential amino acid occurring in natural form as the L-isomer. It is synthesized from GLYCINE or THREONINE. It is involved in the biosynthesis of PURINES; PYRIMIDINES; and other amino acids. |
| 3-phosphoglycerate | |
| thymidine monophosphate | 5-Thymidylic acid. A thymine nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the deoxyribose moiety. |
| s-adenosylhomocysteine | 5'-S-(3-Amino-3-carboxypropyl)-5'-thioadenosine. Formed from S-adenosylmethionine after transmethylation reactions. |
| 2'-deoxyuridylic acid | RN given refers to parent cpd |
| plasmenylserine | RN given refers to (L)-isomer |
| homocysteine | A thiol-containing amino acid formed by a demethylation of METHIONINE. |
