Description: An organophosphate oxoanion that is the dianion of β-D-glucose 1-phosphate arising from deprotonation of both phosphate OH groups.

Description: Pyrrolines, also known under the name dihydropyrroles, are three different heterocyclic organic chemical compounds which differ in the position of the double bond. Pyrrolines are formally derived from the aromate pyrrole by hydrogenation. 1-Pyrroline is a cyclic imine while 2-pyrroline and 3-pyrroline are cyclic amines.

Description: Quinolinic acid is a metabolite of tryptophan with a possible role in neurodegenerative disorders. Elevated CSF levels of quinolinic acid are correlated with the severity of neuropsychological deficits in patients who have AIDS. Quinolinic acid (QUIN) is a product of tryptophan metabolism that can act as an endogenous brain excitotoxin when released by activated macrophages. (Valle et. al, Brain 127:1047 (2004)).

Description: N1-(5-Phospho-alpha-D-ribosyl)-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (or alpha-ribazole-5'-Phosphate) is an intermediate in Riboflavin metabolism. In particular, alpha-Ribazole 5'-phosphate is converted from Dimethylbenzimidazole via the enzyme nicotinate-nucleotide-dimethylbenzimidazole. phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.21). It is then converted to alpha-Ribazole via the enzyme (EC 3.1.3.-).

Description: N1-(alpha-D-ribosyl)-5,6-dimethyl-benzimidazole is an intermediate in riboflavin metabolism. It is converted from N1-(5-Phospho-alpha-D-ribosyl)-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole via dephosphorylation by the enzyme phosphohistidine phosphatase 1 (EC 3.1.3.-). Humans do not have all the enzymes needed to synthesize or metabolize riboflavin. However, gut microflora do have the necessary enzymatic machinery to produce and metabolize this vitamin. Riboflavin (or vitamin B2) is an easily absorbed micronutrient with a key role in maintaining health in humans and animals. It is the central component of the cofactors FAD and FMN, and is therefore required by all flavoproteins. Riboflavin is yellow or yellow-orange in color and in addition to being used as a food coloring it is also used to fortify some foods including baby foods, breakfast cereals, pastas, sauces, processed cheese, fruit drinks, vitamin-enriched milk products, some energy drinks, and vitamin supplements.
