Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameUric acid
DescriptionUric acid, also known as urate or lithate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as xanthines. These are purine derivatives with a ketone group conjugated at carbons 2 and 6 of the purine moiety. An oxopurine in which the purine ring is substituted by oxo groups at positions 2, 6, and 8. Uric acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Uric acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. uric acid can be biosynthesized from xanthine through its interaction with the enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase. In humans, uric acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called the purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency pathway. Outside of the human body, Uric acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow) and garden cress. Uric acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as mamey sapotes, american pokeweeds, horned melons, towel gourds, and mammee apples. This could make uric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Uric acid is a potentially toxic compound. Uric acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as bacterial meningitis, gout, and nucleotide depletion syndrome; uric acid has also been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including primary hypomagnesemia and 3-methyl-crotonyl-glycinuria. Uric acid is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
Key enzyme in purine degradation. Catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine. Catalyzes the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. Contributes to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Has also low oxidase activity towards aldehydes (in vitro).
