Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name7,8-Dihydropteroic acid
Description7,8-Dihydropteroic acid, also known as dihydropteroinsaeure or H2PTE, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pterins and derivatives. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a pterin moiety, which consist of a pteridine ring bearing a ketone and an amine group to form 2-aminopteridin-4(3H)-one. 7,8-Dihydropteroic acid is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). 7,8-Dihydropteroic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, 7,8-Dihydropteroic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as persian limes, common verbena, garden tomato, butternut squash, and romaine lettuces. This could make 7,8-dihydropteroic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. A pteroic acid derivative arising from formal hydrogenation of the 7,8-double bond of pteroic acid. 7,8-Dihydropteroic acid is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in tetrahydrofolylpolyglutamate synthase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes conversion of folates to polyglutamate derivatives allowing concentration of folate compounds in the cell and the intracellular retention of these cofactors, which are important substrates for most of the folate-dependent enzymes that are involved in one-carbon transfer reactions involved in purine, pyrimidine and amino acid synthesis. Unsubstitued reduced folates are the preferred substrates. Metabolizes methotrexate (MTX) to polyglutamates.
