Pyrimidone
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: Is everyone just supposed to have precision manufacturing equipment so they can all try out new inventions randomly?
gollark: Are you just meant to have a basement operation doing highly advanced chemical synthesis or something for, say, new drug testing?
gollark: Also, many modern discoveries are basically impossible without stuff like "laboratories" and "full-time scientists" and supply chains providing the stuff they need.
gollark: As you go over that you probably have to keep adopting more and more norms and then guidelines and then rules and then laws to keep stuff coordinated.
gollark: Consider a silicon fab, which is used to make computer chips we need. That requires billions of $ in capital and thousands of people and probably millions more in supply chains.
