Biotin

Biotin, also known as D-biotin or coenzyme R, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as biotin and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing a ureido (tetrahydroimidizalone) ring fused with a tetrahydrothiophene ring. Biotin is a drug which is used for nutritional supplementation, also for treating dietary shortage or imbalance. Biotin is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). An organic heterobicyclic compound that consists of 2-oxohexahydro-1H-thienoimidazole having a valeric acid substituent attached to the tetrahydrothiophene ring. Biotin exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, biotin is involved in the metabolic disorder called the multiple carboxylase deficiency, neonatal or early onset form pathway. Biotin is a potentially toxic compound. Biotin is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
