N-Acetyl-L-histidine monohydrate (NAH) also exhibits a strong phylogenetic component in that it is a major osmolyte in the brain and eye of teleost (bony) fish, amphibians and reptiles, but is present in much lower amounts in brain and other tissues of homeothermic (endothermic) vertebrates.

Monatepil maleate (AJ-2615 maleate) is an orally active Ca2+-channel and α1-adrenoceptor antagonist and non-competitive heparanoyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor with antihypertensive activity.

3-Methyladipic acid is a metabolite of the catabolism of phytanic acid. Patients with adult Refsums disease (ARD) are unable to detoxify phytanic acid by alpha-oxidation and so the w-oxidation pathway is the only metabolic pathway available for phytanic acid degradation.
