A presumed natural source of hydantoins is parabiochemical reaction in living organisms. It is known that 3-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydroimidazol-4-yl)propionic acid (I) is formed from α-ketoglutaric acid and urea in the reaction accompanying the Krebs cycle. Biological necessity of its existence in the living objects can be attributed to the need to urea fixation to reduce the inhibitory effect of its high
