Compounds (11)

CompoundDescription
hydronium ion
allantoinA urea hydantoin that is found in URINE and PLANTS and is used in dermatological preparations.
Carbon DioxideA colorless, odorless gas that can be formed by the body and is necessary for the respiration cycle of plants and animals.
Hydrogen PeroxideA strong oxidizing agent used in aqueous solution as a ripening agent, bleach, and topical anti-infective. It is relatively unstable and solutions deteriorate over time unless stabilized by the addition of acetanilide or similar organic materials.
WaterA clear, odorless, tasteless liquid that is essential for most animal and plant life and is an excellent solvent for many substances. The chemical formula is hydrogen oxide (H2O). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
OxygenAn element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration.
uric acidAn oxidation product, via XANTHINE OXIDASE, of oxypurines such as XANTHINE and HYPOXANTHINE. It is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates, whereas in most other mammals URATE OXIDASE further oxidizes it to ALLANTOIN.

5-hydroxyisouratean intermediate in the degradation of uric acid to allantoin; structure in first source
glyoxylic acidRN given refers to parent cpd
2-oxo-4-hydroxy-4-carboxy--5-ureidoimidazolineintermediate in degradation of uric acid to allantoin; structure in first source
