| Description | 4-amino-2-methyl-5-phosphomethylpyrimidine, also known as hmp-P, belongs to aminopyrimidines and derivatives class of compounds. Those are organic compounds containing an amino group attached to a pyrimidine ring. Pyrimidine is a 6-membered ring consisting of four carbon atoms and two nitrogen centers at the 1- and 3- ring positions. 4-amino-2-methyl-5-phosphomethylpyrimidine is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). 4-amino-2-methyl-5-phosphomethylpyrimidine can be found in a number of food items such as chives, chestnut, common hazelnut, and lupine, which makes 4-amino-2-methyl-5-phosphomethylpyrimidine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. |
