Human Metabolome Project
http://www.hmdb.ca/
Seeks to be "the chemical equivalent of the Human Genome Project", producing a database of human metabolites. Since 2004 the project has assembled the current inventory of roughly 2,500 molecules produced by metabolic reactions in body tissues and fluids -- and though this may be only 10% of the human metabolome (nobody really knows) it is a useful starting point, and a unique database.
