Asparagusic acid (CAT: I000031) is a unique compound found in asparagus and is responsible for the characteristic odor in urine after consumption. Its mode of action and pharmacologic effects are primarily related to its sulfur content. While the exact targets and mechanisms of action are not fully elucidated, asparagusic acid and its derivatives have been studied for their potential anti-inflammatory properties, showing promise as anti-inflammatory agents in preclinical research.
