Metabolite Identification
Common NameDimethylbenzimidazole
DescriptionDimethylbenzimidazole, also known as dimethylbenzimidazole, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzimidazoles. These are organic compounds containing a benzene ring fused to an imidazole ring (five member ring containing a nitrogen atom, 4 carbon atoms, and two double bonds). Dimethylbenzimidazole exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Dimethylbenzimidazole exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, dimethylbenzimidazole is involved in the metabolic pathway called the riboflavin metabolism pathway.
