Pathways

Metabolites of Ribociclib are predicted with biotransformer.

Riboflavin is a drug that is not metabolized by the human body as determined by current research and biotransformer analysis. Riboflavin passes through the liver and is then excreted from the body mainly through the kidney.

Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is an important part of the enzyme cofactors FAD (flavin-adenine dinucleotide) and FMN (flavin mononucleotide). The name "riboflavin" actually comes from "ribose" and "flavin". Like the other B vitamins, riboflavin is needed for the breaking down and processing of ketone bodies, lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. Riboflavin is found in many different foods, such as meats and vegetables.As the digestion process occurs, many different flavoproteins that come from food are broken down and riboflavin is reabsorbed. The reverse reaction is mediated by acid phosphatase 6. FMN can be turned into to FAD via FAD synthetase, while the reverse reaction is mediated by nucleotide pyrophosphatase. FAD and FMN are essential hydrogen carriers and are involved in over 100 redox reactions that take part in energy metabolism.

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as flavins. These are compounds containing a flavin (7,8-dimethyl-benzo[g]pteridine-2,4-dione) moiety, with a structure characterized by an isoalloaxzine tricyclic ring. Like the other B vitamins, it supports energy production by aiding in the metabolizing of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Riboflavin is an important component of the cofactors flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN). They act as electron carriers in a number of oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions involved in energy production and in numerous metabolic pathways including fatty acid metabolism, the citrate cycle, and the electron transport chain. Riboflavin metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana takes place in the chloroplast and it includes two subpathways: purine metabolism and the pentose phosphate pathway. From purine metabolism, GTP is produced which is then catalyzed by GTP cyclohydrolase II to produce 2,5-diamino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribosylamino)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one which undergoes deamination to produce 5-amino-6-(5'-phosphoribosylamino)uracil and ammonia. 5-Amino-6-(5'-phosphoribosylamino)uracil gets reduced to 5-amino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribitylamino)uracil by a reductase, then 5-amino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribitylamino)uracil phosphatase removes the phosphate group from 5-amino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribitylamino)uracil to produce 5-amino-6-(1-D-ribitylamino)uracil. 5-Amino-6-(1-D-ribitylamino)uracil with L-3,4-dihydroxybutan-2-one-4-phosphate synthase then act as substrate in the reaction catalyzed by 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil butanedionetransferase to produce 6,7-dimethyl-8-(D-ribityl)lumazine, this which is synthesized to riboflavin and 5-amino-6-(1-D-ribitylamino)uracil. Riboflavin is then catalyzed by a riboflavin kinase to produce FMN. FMN can also get dephosphorylated back to riboflavin. In A. thaliana, FMN could also be produced by FAD nucleotidohydrolase.
