orotic acid

Orotic acid (Vitamin B13) is an intermediate product in pyrimidine metabolism.

Orotic acid zinc (Zinc Orotate) salt dihydrate is an intermediate product in pyrimidine synthesis.

Orotic acid monohydrate is an intermediate product in pyrimidine metabolism.

Orotidine 5'-monophosphate trisodium, a pyrimidine nucleotide, is synthesized through the de novo DNA synthesis pathway by various microorganisms, including M. tuberculosis, S. cerevisiae, S. typhimurium, and P. falciparum. The compound's production involves orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT)-catalyzed reactions using phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) and orotic acid (OA) as substrates [1].

L-Dihydroorotic acid, also known as (S)-4,5-dihydroorotate or dihydro-L-orotate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids and derivatives. Within the cell, L-dihydroorotic acid is primarily located in the cytoplasm and mitochon

5-Amino-3H-imidazole-4-Carboxamide (AICA) is an imidazole derivative which is a metabolite of the antineoplastic agents BIC and DIC. By itself, or as the ribonucleotide, it is used as a condensation agent in the preparation of nucleosides and nucleotides. Compounded with orotic acid, it is used to treat liver diseases.
