Pyrimidone is the name given to either of two heterocyclic compounds with the formula C₄H₄N₂O: 2-pyrimidone and 4-pyrimidone. The compounds can also be called 2-hydroxypyrimidine or 4-hydroxypyrimidine respectively, based on a substituted pyrimidine, or 1,3-diazine, ring.

Derivatives

Derivatives of pyrimidone are the basis of many other biological molecules, including:

Nucleobases, such as cytosine
Barbiturates, such as metharbital

Antiulcer drugs including temelastine, icotidine, donetidine, and lupitidine.

gollark: Approximations are fun! π = e = 3 = sqrt(g), sin x = x = tan x, etc.

gollark: It's *approximately* 3, though.
