Metabolite Identification
Common NameAlloxan
DescriptionAlloxan, also known as 5,6-dioxouracil or mesoxalylurea, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidones. Pyrimidones are compounds that contain a pyrimidine ring, which bears a ketone. Pyrimidine is a 6-membered ring consisting of four carbon atoms and two nitrogen centers at the 1- and 3- ring positions. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Alloxan.
