Definition
Riboflavin cyclic-4',5'-phosphate, also known as cfmn or cyclic flavin mononucleotide, is a member of the class of 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 cyclic-4',5'-phosphate is practically insoluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Riboflavin cyclic-4',5'-phosphate can be found in a number of food items such as sea-buckthornberry, horseradish tree, malabar spinach, and wild rice, which makes riboflavin cyclic-4',5'-phosphate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
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.
