6-(Hydroxymethyl)pterin

Description:

6-(Hydroxymethyl)pterin is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of pterins, which are bicyclic compounds containing a pteridine ring system. This substance is characterized by the presence of a hydroxymethyl group at the 6-position of the pterin structure, which contributes to its reactivity and potential biological activity. It is often involved in biochemical pathways, particularly in the synthesis of folate and other related compounds. The compound is soluble in water and exhibits a range of pH-dependent properties, making it relevant in various biochemical contexts. Its role in biological systems may include acting as a cofactor or precursor in enzymatic reactions. Additionally, 6-(Hydroxymethyl)pterin can be utilized in research settings to study metabolic processes and the function of pterin derivatives. Safety data indicates that, like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols to mitigate any potential hazards.

6-(Hydroxymethyl)pterin

CAS: 712-29-8

6-(Hydroxymethyl)pterin is a pterin molecule that is synthesized by the body in response to inflammatory diseases and cancer. It has been found in urine samples, and can be used as an indicator of inflammation or cancer. 6-hydroxymethylpterin is a redox cycle intermediate that can be converted to 6-carboxylic acid by the enzyme hydroxymethyltransferase. The enzyme 6-hydroxymethylpterin reductase converts this intermediate back to 6-(hydroxymethyl)pterin, completing the cycle. This compound has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against bacteria such as S. aureus and E. coli, with a pH optimum at neutral pH.
