Common NameUreidoisobutyric acid
DescriptionUreidoisobutyric acid, also known as ureidoisobutyrate or beta-uba, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ureas. Ureas are compounds containing two amine groups joined by a carbonyl (C=O) functional group. Ureidoisobutyric acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Within humans, ureidoisobutyric acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, ureidoisobutyric acid can be biosynthesized from dihydrothymine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme dihydropyrimidinase. In addition, ureidoisobutyric acid can be converted into ureidoisobutyric acid; which is mediated by the enzyme Beta-ureidopropionase. In humans, ureidoisobutyric acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called the beta-ureidopropionase deficiency pathway. Ureidoisobutyric acid, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder beta-ureidopropionase deficiency. Ureidoisobutyric acid is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
