Ureids

Ureides are urea derivatives in which the hydrogen atoms are replaced by acid radicals. They can be obtained from the biosynthesis or breakdown of purines and pyrimidine bases. Some ureides are medicinal, such as caffeine, theophylline and bromural.

Ureides are important in biological processes, as they are intermediate products in the synthesis and breakdown of nucleotides. They are also involved in regulating acidity levels and osmotic pressure in cells.
