Definition
7,8-dihydromonapterin, also known as dhm or h2-mpt, belongs to biopterins and derivatives class of compounds. Those are coenzymes containing a 2-amino-pteridine-4-one derivative. They are mainly synthesized in several parts of the body, including the pineal gland. 7,8-dihydromonapterin is slightly soluble (in water) and an extremely strong acidic compound (based on its pKa). 7,8-dihydromonapterin can be found in a number of food items such as mugwort, pineapple, eggplant, and japanese pumpkin, which makes 7,8-dihydromonapterin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as biopterins and derivatives. These are coenzymes containing a 2-amino-pteridine-4-one derivative. They are mainly synthesized in several parts of the body, including the pineal gland.
