orotic acid

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

Orotic acid-6-C14 is an endogenous metabolite. [PubChem]

Orotic acid (potassium salt) serves as a biochemical reagent, applicable as both a biological material and an organic compound in life science research.

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

Orotic acid monohydrate is an intermediate product in pyrimidine metabolism.

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-Fluoroorotic acid is an inhibitor of thymidylate synthase. 5-Fluoroorotic is a selective agent in yeast molecular genetics.5-Fluoroorotic possesses a well-expressed anticandidal effect close to that of 5-fluorocytosine, as well as moderate antidermatophytal effects.

Hydroorotic acid（Dihydroorotic acid） is an endogenous metabolite involved in the pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway and serves as a potential biomarker for diabetic nephropathy and adrenal pheochromocytoma.

Orotic acid-13C,15N2 monohydrate is a marker used in the routine newborn screening for abnormalities in the urea cycle. Orotic acid can induce hepatic steatosis and liver enlargement in rats.

5-Fluoroorotic acid (monohydrate) (5-Fluorouracil-6-carboxylic acid Mono(hydrate); 5-FOA) is employed to detect the expression of the URA3 gene in yeast molecular genetic constructs. Yeast possessing an active URA3 gene (which encodes orotidine-5'-monophosphate decarboxylase) convert 5-FOA into 5-fluorodeoxyuridine, a substance toxic to cells. Yeast strains with mutations in the URA3 gene that confer resistance can grow in the presence of 5-FOA if uracil is added to the medium.

2,4-Dihydroxypyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (Isoorotic acid) has been obtained from 5-formyluracil by the action of enzyme, thymine 7-hydroxylase. 2,4-Dihydroxypyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid has been used to synthesize N1-alkylated uracil derivatives.

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

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].
