Indoline is a heterocyclic organic compound, which is a bicyclic structure formed by the fusion of a benzene ring and a five-membered nitrogen-containing ring (pyrrolidine ring).
Ergothioneine (ERG) is an unusual thio-histidine betaine amino acid that has potent antioxidant activities.
In solution, L-ergothioneine (EGT; 2-mercaptohistidine trimethylbetaine) exists as a tautomer between its thiol and thione forms.
Tissue expression of the ERGOTHIONEINE transporter, OCTN1, analyzed by real-time PCR adapted from 2 independent sources (Grundemann et al. 2005; National Academy of Sciences and Taubert et al. 2009; BMJ Journals). Data are relative to mRNA level of the ileum for each set.
Possible roles and interactions of Ergothioneine in vivo. Functional roles as an antioxidant are highlighted in yellow, anti-inflammatory agent in green, protectant against radiation in blue and roles in disease in orange.
Since its first isolation in 1905, there was initially significant interest in Ergothioneine, however the interest waned until the discovery of its transporter (ETT/OCTN1) in 2005 and has since been the focus of intense research.
High expression of the transporter, and hence high levels of Ergothioneine, is observed in certain cells (e.g. blood cells, bone marrow, ocular tissues, brain etc.) that are likely predisposed to oxidative stress, although other tissues can accumulate high levels of ET with sustained administration.
Norbornene, also known as bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene, is a cyclic alkene with a dense three-dimensional structure: a cyclohexene ring with a bridging methylene in the para-position.

Formaldehyde was described in the year 1855 by the Russian scientist Alexander Michailowitsch Butlerow. At room temperature, formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable gas that has a distinct, pungent smell.
Scheme 3 shows the procedure used for the synthesis of 4. Subjection of 3'-chloropropiophenone (10a) to Mannich reaction conditions with aqueous formaldehyde and dimethylamine gave 13. The methiodide 14 was obtained by alkylation of 13 with iodomethane. Treatment of 14 with tert-butylamine gave first a mixture of 15 and the desired 4. Subjection of the mixture to excess tert-butylamine provided the desired target compound.
L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a powerful water-soluble antioxidant, essential for the correct functioning of the body.

Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as the body's primary source of energy. It's a type of carbohydrate, and is found in foods like fruits, vegetables, and grains.
Systematic chemical modification of the glucopyranoside backbone inhibits the growth of glioblastoma cells.

Ethyl quinoline-3-carboxylate is an organic compound that is the ethyl ester of quinoline-3-carboxylic acid, which means it contains a quinoline ring system with a carboxylic acid group and an ethyl group attached to the third carbon of the quinoline ring.
