Compounds (14)

CompoundDescription
hydronium ion
ammonium hydroxideThe hydroxy salt of ammonium ion. It is formed when AMMONIA reacts with water molecules in solution.
glutamic acidA non-essential amino acid naturally occurring in the L-form. Glutamic acid is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
phenylalanineAn essential aromatic amino acid that is a precursor of MELANIN; DOPAMINE; noradrenalin (NOREPINEPHRINE), and THYROXINE.
Hydrogen PeroxideA strong oxidizing agent used in aqueous solution as a ripening agent, bleach, and topical anti-infective. It is relatively unstable and solutions deteriorate over time unless stabilized by the addition of acetanilide or similar organic materials.
WaterA clear, odorless, tasteless liquid that is essential for most animal and plant life and is an excellent solvent for many substances. The chemical formula is hydrogen oxide (H2O). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
OxygenAn element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration.
3-tropinonestructure; RN given refers to parent cpd
tropineRN given refers to (endo)-isomer
cadaverineA foul-smelling diamine formed by bacterial decarboxylation of lysine.
1-methyl-delta(1)-pyrroliniumRN given refers to parent cpd; structure given in first source; this iminium salt is a precursor to tropane alkaloids in some biosynthetic routes
alpha-ketoglutaric acid
creolinfrom refined coal tar oils
phenylpyruvic acidRN given refers to parent cpd
