Description

2-Amino-3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-6-pteridinecarboxylic acid is an analytical reagent that reacts with the hydroxyl group of malonic acid to produce a fluorescent derivative. 2-Amino-3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-6-pteridinecarboxylic acid is used in wastewater treatment to measure the effectiveness of the process. The compound reacts with human serum proteins to form a stable complex and can be used as a response element in an analysis matrix. It has been shown that 2 amino 3,4 dihydro 4 oxo 6 pteridine carboxylic acid fluoresces when irradiated by radiation. The optimum pH for this reaction is 7.5 and the reaction mechanism involves formation of a cyclic intermediate followed by cleavage of the C=C bond to release free radicals. Malonic acid is not required for this reaction but it
