Definition
Riboprine, also known as isopentenyladenosine or ipa, is a member of the class of compounds known as purine nucleosides. Purine nucleosides are compounds comprising a purine base attached to a ribosyl or deoxyribosyl moiety. Riboprine is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Riboprine can be found in a number of food items such as peppermint, chinese mustard, custard apple, and green bean, which makes riboprine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as purine nucleosides. Purine nucleosides are compounds comprising a purine base attached to a ribosyl or deoxyribosyl moiety.
