Metabolite Identification
Common Name6-Methyltetrahydropterin
Description6-Methyltetrahydropterin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pterins and derivatives. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a pterin moiety, which consist of a pteridine ring bearing a ketone and an amine group to form 2-aminopteridin-4(3H)-one. 6-Methyltetrahydropterin has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make 6-methyltetrahydropterin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 6-Methyltetrahydropterin.
