    Topological analysis methods have been developed to study the fundamental organizational principles of large-scale metabolic networks, which would be operated maintain life in human and other organisms. Among a lot of topological analysis methods, a number of recent studies have focused on the centrality methods, which could be help to seek for important metabolites in metabolic networks, and would greatly aid drug target identification and therapy design. In this paper, we engage eigenvector centrality method to study metabolic networks of 20 organisms from different species, we analyze the first 10 important metabolites in these 20 metabolic networks and discuss their biological signification.
