β-nicotinate D-ribonucleotide
Definition
β-nicotinate d-ribonucleotide is a member of the class of compounds known as nicotinic acid nucleotides. Nicotinic acid nucleotides are pyridine nucleotides, in which the pyridine base is nicotinic acid or a derivative thereof. β-nicotinate d-ribonucleotide is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). β-nicotinate d-ribonucleotide can be found in a number of food items such as asian pear, common verbena, small-leaf linden, and pepper (spice), which makes β-nicotinate d-ribonucleotide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carotenes. These are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing eight consecutive isoprene units. They are characterized by the presence of two end-groups (mostly cyclohexene rings, but also cyclopentene rings or acyclic groups) linked by a long branched alkyl chain. Carotenes belonging form a subgroup of the carotenoids family.
