  <name>Rhapontigenin</name>
  <description>Isolated from rhizomes of Rheum undulatum (rhubarb)

4-Guanidinobutanoate is a normal metabolite present in low concentrations.; Patients with hyperargininemia have an arginase deficiency which leads to blockade of the urea cycle in the last step with several clinical symptoms. Owing to the arginase deficiency this patients accumulate arginine which leads eventually to epileptogenic guanidino compounds (PMID 7752905). Rhapontigenin is found in green vegetables and garden rhubarb.</description>

    <description> belongs to the class of organic compounds known as stilbenes. These are organic compounds containing a 1,2-diphenylethylene moiety. Stilbenes (C6-C2-C6 ) are derived from the common phenylpropene (C6-C3) skeleton building block. The introduction of one or more hydroxyl groups  to a phenyl ring lead to stilbenoids.</description>
