1-Monomyristin is a 1-monoglyceride with tetradecanoyl (myristoyl) as the acyl group. It has a role as a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolite. It is a 1-monoglyceride and a tetradecanoate ester. 1-Monomyristin was extracted from Serenoa repens and inhibited the hydrolysis of 2-oleoyl glycerol (IC50=32 μ M) and the activity of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) (IC50=18 μ M). 1-Monomyristin has antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and actinomycetes, as well as antifungal activity against Candida albicans.

Trimyristin is a triglyceride obtained by formal acylation of the three hydroxy groups of glycerol by myristic (tetradecanoic) acid. It is a triglyceride and a tetradecanoate ester.

Triolein is a triglyceride formed by esterification of the three hydroxy groups of glycerol with oleic acid. Triolein is one of the two components of Lorenzo's oil. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolite. It is functionally related to an oleic acid.

L-methionine is the L-enantiomer of methionine. It has a role as a micronutrient, a nutraceutical, an antidote to paracetamol poisoning, a mouse metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a L-alpha-amino acid, a methionine, an aspartate family amino acid and a proteinogenic amino acid. It is a conjugate base of a L-methioninium. It is a conjugate acid of a L-methioninate. It is an enantiomer of a D-methionine. It is a tautomer of a L-methionine zwitterion. L-Methionine is marker of cell viability and estimating proliferative activity. L-Methionine and L-cystine can improve hyperlipidemia by restoring LPL and HSL activities, it also might be a new potential drug for Parkinson's disease treatment.
