Orotic acid Synonyms: 1,2,3,6-Tetrahydro-2,6-dioxo-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid; 2,6-Dihydroxypyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid; 6-Carboxy-2,4-dihydroxypyrimidine; 6-Carboxyuracil; Uracil-6-carboxylic acid Molecular Structure: Molecular Formula: C5H4N2O4 Molecular Weight: 156.10 CAS Number: 65-86-1 EINECS: 200-619-8 Orotic acid (vitaminb13) is manufactured by the body by intestinal flora. Orotic acid (vitaminb13) facilitates the transport of minerals across the cell membranes in your body, thus making these minerals optimally bio-available. Orotic acid is a heterocyclic compound and an acid; Orotic acid is also known as pyrimidinecarboxylic acid.
