| Description | 5-Amino-6-(5'-phosphoribitylamino)uracil belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monosaccharide phosphates. These are monosaccharides comprising a phosphated group linked to the carbohydrate unit. 5-O-Phosphono-D-ribitol in which the hydroxy group at position 1 is substituted by the 6-amino group of 5,6-diaminopyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione. 5-Amino-6-(5'-phosphoribitylamino)uracil is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 5-Amino-6-(5'-phosphoribitylamino)uracil exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, 5-Amino-6-(5'-phosphoribitylamino)uracil has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as chinese mustards, black-eyed pea, eggplants, limes, and kai-lans. This could make 5-amino-6-(5'-phosphoribitylamino)uracil a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 5-Amino-6-(5'-phosphoribitylamino)uracil is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it. |
