Metabolite Identification
Common NameRiboflavin
DescriptionRiboflavin, also known as vitamin B2 or lactoflavin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as flavins. Flavins are compounds containing a flavin (7,8-dimethyl-benzo[g]pteridine-2,4-dione) moiety, with a structure characterized by an isoalloaxzine tricyclic ring. Riboflavin is a drug which is used for the treatment of ariboflavinosis (vitamin b2 deficiency). Riboflavin exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Riboflavin exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Riboflavin is a potentially toxic compound.
