Definition
Trans-zeatin riboside, also known as (E)-N-(4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butenyl)adenosine or 9-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-trans-zeatin, is a member of the class of compounds known as purine nucleosides. Purine nucleosides are compounds comprising a purine base attached to a ribosyl or deoxyribosyl moiety. Trans-zeatin riboside is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Trans-zeatin riboside can be found in a number of food items such as winter squash, plains prickly pear, dill, and common buckwheat, which makes trans-zeatin riboside a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as purine nucleosides. Purine nucleosides are compounds comprising a purine base attached to a ribosyl or deoxyribosyl moiety.
