C17H20N4O6
I was given molecule 9. This molecule has the general name of Riboflavin has the chemical formula of C17H20N4O6. This can also go by two IUPAC names the first being 1-deoxy-1-(7,8-dimethyl-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydrobenzo[g]pteridin-10(2H)-yl)pen titol. The second name it can also go by 7,8-dimethyl-10-(2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxypentyl)benzo[g]pteridine-2,4(3H,10H)-d ione.
While this molecule has the generic name of Riboflavin now .This molecule has been give several names over the years the first being Lactoflavin. Riboflavin has also been called vitamin G. Another generic name that is goes by is Vitamin B or B2. Some other synonyms of Riboflavin; are 6,7-Dimethyl-9-D-ribitylisoalloxazine, Beflavine, …show more content…
First it gets ribo from its sugar alcohol named ribitol. Secondly its gets flavin from its florecence color under UV light. The name flavin is from the Latin language and it means yellow. While this molecule is heat stable it can be easily degraded by light.
At first vitamin B was Thought to have two components, a heat-labile vitamin B1 and a heat-stable vitamin B2 . In the 1920s, vitamin B2 was thought to be the factor needed in stopping pellagra. In 1973, Paul Gyorgi in Heidelberg was looking at egg white injury in rats, the curative factor for this condition was called vitamin H. Since both pellagra and vitamin H deficiency were associated with the skin disorder dermatitis, Gyorgi decided to test the effect of vitamin B2 on vitamin H deficiency in rat. He broght in the service of Wagner-Jauregg.
In 1933, Three researchers found that extracts of yeast, liver, or rice bran that did not have thaimine did prevented the growth failure in rats that were fed a thiamin supplemented diet. Further, they noted that the yellow-green fluorescence extract promoted rat growth, and they notcied that the brightness of fluorescence was proportional to the effect on growth rate. This resulted in them being to create a rapid chemical that isolates the factor from egg white. they named this …show more content…
You can get riboflabin from foods such as milk, meat, eggs, nuts, among other things. Riboflavin is usually used in along with other B vitamins in vitamin B complex products. TheVitamin B complex includes thiamine which is vitamin B1 , riboflavin which isvitamin B2, niacin which is vitamin B3, pantothenic acid which is vitamin B5, pyridoxine which is vitamin B6 , cyanocobalamin wich is vitamin B12, and folic acid. Not all products have all the b vitamins
Riboflavin has many uses. The main one is used for reverse low levels of riboflavin. Some other uses are to help prevent cervical cancer, and migranes and headaches. It is also used for acne, muscle cramps, carpal tunnel syndrome, and some blood disorders including ones such as congenital methemoglobinemia and red blood cell aplasia. Some people use riboflavin for eye conditions including eye fatigue, cataracts, and glaucoma.
Some biological uses are to increase energy levels; boosting immune system function; healthy health, skin,to maintain mucous membranes, and nails; slowing aging. Riboflavin increases athletic performance; promotes healthy reproductive function; minimizes canker sores;memory loss, including Alzheimer's disease; ulcers; burns; alcoholism; liver disease; sickl cell anemia; and treating lactic
