Definition
(e)-zeatin, also known as (E)-2-methyl-4-(1h-purin-6-ylamino)-2-buten-1-ol or n6-(4-hydroxyisopentenyl)adenine, is a member of the class of compounds known as 6-alkylaminopurines. 6-alkylaminopurines are compounds that contain an alkylamine group attached at the 6-position of a purine. Purine is a bicyclic aromatic compound made up of a pyrimidine ring fused to an imidazole ring (e)-zeatin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). (e)-zeatin can be found in a number of food items such as chia, cornmint, java plum, and small-leaf linden, which makes (e)-zeatin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
