Sodium Monensin, isolated from Streptomyces cinnamonensis, is a well-known representative of naturally polyether ionophore antibiotics.

In cells D-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) is generated when glucose is phosphorylated by hexokinase or glucokinase or by the conversion of glucose-1-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase during glycogenolysis. G6P lies at the beginning of both glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathways. It also can be stored as glycogen when blood glucose levels are high.

ACTH (11-24) is a fragment of adrenocorticotrophin, induces cortisol release. ACTH (11-24) has been identified as a competitive antagonist of ACTH (1-39) and ACTH (1-10) in isolated adrenal cells.
