Metabolite Identification
Common NamePyrroloquinoline quinone
DescriptionPyrroloquinoline quinone, also known as coenzyme PQQ or methoxatin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrroloquinoline quinones. Pyrroloquinoline quinones are compounds with a structure based on the 2,7,-tricarboxy-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-f ]quinoline-4,5-dione. Pyrroloquinoline Quinones usually bear a carboxylic acid group at the C-2, C-7 and C-9 positions. Pyrroloquinoline quinone exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, pyrroloquinoline quinone is involved in the disulfiram action pathway. Pyrroloquinoline quinone has been detected, but not quantified in, green vegetables. This could make pyrroloquinoline quinone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Pyrroloquinoline quinone is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Pyrroloquinoline quinone.
