UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010756 Phosphoric Acids Inorganic derivatives of phosphoric acid (H3PO4). Note that organic derivatives of phosphoric acids are listed under ORGANOPHOSPHATES. Pyrophosphoric Acids,Acids, Phosphoric,Acids, Pyrophosphoric
D005204 Farnesol A colorless liquid extracted from oils of plants such as citronella, neroli, cyclamen, and tuberose. It is an intermediate step in the biological synthesis of cholesterol from mevalonic acid in vertebrates. It has a delicate odor and is used in perfumery. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed)
D013185 Squalene A natural 30-carbon triterpene.
