Allantoin - In 1800, Vauquelin, together with Buniva, discovered a substance present in cow amniotic fluid but not in that of humans. It was later found in allantoic fluid and named allantoin. Allantoin is the end product of purine degradation in placental mammals, but not in humans and other apes

Malic acid - Vauquelin confirmed the existence of malic acid, which he isolated from apple juice. This intermediate of the Krebs and glyoxylate cycles was first discovered by Carl Wilhelm Scheele and later named by Antoine Lavoisier after the Latin word for apple, malum.

Asparagine - In 1806, Louis Nicolas Vauquelin and his assistant Pierre Jean Robiquet isolated asparagine (Asn, N) in crystalline form. As the first of the 20 universal amino acids to be identified, asparagine was named after its source: asparagus juice.

Louis Nicolas Vauquelin (1763–1829), a French chemist, is best known for discovering chromium and beryllium. However, his contributions to biochemistry are often overlooked—he was the first to isolate several iconic metabolites. 1/4
