IUPAC 名称
4-{[(2-amino-4-oxo-3,4,7,8-tetrahydropteridin-6-yl)methyl]amino}benzoic acid
描述
7,8-dihydropteroic acid, also known as dihydropteroinsaeure or h2pte, belongs to pterins and derivatives class of compounds. Those are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a pterin moiety, which consist of a pteridine ring bearing a ketone and an amine group to form 2-aminopteridin-4(3H)-one. 7,8-dihydropteroic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 7,8-dihydropteroic acid can be synthesized from pteroic acid. 7,8-dihydropteroic acid can also be synthesized into 2-hydroxy-7,8-dihydropteroic acid. 7,8-dihydropteroic acid can be found in a number of food items such as rice, towel gourd, cauliflower, and silver linden, which makes 7,8-dihydropteroic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 7,8-dihydropteroic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, 7,8-dihydropteroic acid is involved in the pterine biosynthesis.
