Metabolite

Node

Described relationship

Reference

Succinate

Immune response

Increases immune response, induces IL-1b production, promotes adaptive immune response.

PMID: 28109906

Cytidine

Immune response

5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine potentiates antitumor immune response, role in innate immune response.

PMID: 23865062, PMID: 24559534

Histamine

Angiogenesis

Histamine promotes angiogenesis by enhancing VEGF production.

PMID: 23225320

1,2-propanediol (prev.X-4796)

Angiogenesis

Modulates the immune system through S1P, which promotes angiogenesis and proliferation. 14C-sulfoquinovosyl acylpropanediol is an antiangiogenic drug.
