precorrin-2
Definition
Precorrin-2 belongs to tetrapyrroles and derivatives class of compounds. Those are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing four pyrrole rings joined by one-carbon units linking position 2 of one pyrrole ring to position 5 of the next. Precorrin-2 is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Precorrin-2 can be found in a number of food items such as plains prickly pear, rowanberry, fruits, and pigeon pea, which makes precorrin-2 a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tetrapyrroles and derivatives. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing four pyrrole rings joined by one-carbon units linking position 2 of one pyrrole ring to position 5 of the next.
