Common Name2-Methylpyrimidine
Description2-Methylpyrimidine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidines and pyrimidine derivatives and is a methylated derivative of pyrimidine. Pyrimidines and pyrimidine derivatives are compounds containing a pyrimidine ring, which is a six-member aromatic heterocycle which consists of two nitrogen atoms (at positions 1 and 3) and four carbon atoms. 2-Methylpyrimidine is a moderately basic compound. Pyrimidines serve essential functions in human metabolism as ribonucleotide bases in RNA (uracil and cytosine), and as deoxyribonucleotide bases in DNA (cytosine and thymine), and are linked by phosphodiester bridges to purine nucleotides in double-stranded DNA, in both the nucleus and the mitochondria. Pyrimidines are synthesized de novo from simple precursors. Synthesis occurs in six steps, with cellular compartmentalization of specific steps in the cytosol or mitochondria, enabling changes in metabolic rate with need. Pyrimidine synthesis differs from purine synthesis, in that the single pyrimidine ring is assembled first and is then linked to ribose phosphate to form UMP. The enzymes that catalyse UMP synthesis, carbamoylphosphate (CAD) synthetase II (CPSII), aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCasea) and dihydroorotase (DHOase), dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) and uridine monophosphate synthase (UMPS), are encoded by only three genes - CAD, DHODH and UMPS (chromosomal locations 2p21, 16q22 and 3q13, respectively; PMID: 16098809 ).  2-Methylpyrimidine is formed during the combustion of cannabis and is therefore a constituent of cannabis smoke ( Ref:DOI ).
