Chemical Information

Name

N-Methylhydantoin

Description

N-Methylhydantoin is a small molecular weight polar substance, the product of degradation of creatinine by bacteria (hydrolyzed by creatinine iminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.21 to ammonia and N-methylhydantoin). In mammals, the metabolism of 1-methylhydantoin occurs via 5-hydroxy-1-methylhydantoin. In a reported human case, 1-Methylhydantoin was found as an unexpected metabolite of the intelligence-affecting substance dupracetam. (PMID: 15533691, 8287520, 3196760, 7294979) [HMDB]
