Description4-Amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine, also known as toxopyrimidine or pyramine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydropyrimidines. Hydropyrimidines are compounds containing a hydrogenated pyrimidine ring (i.e. containing less than the maximum number of double bonds.). In yeast, 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the vitamin b1/thiamine metabolism pathway. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 4-Amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine.
