5-(2-Oxopropylideneamino)-6-d-ribitylaminouracil (5-OP-RU) is a natural product formed during bacterial synthesis of vitamin B2. It potently activates mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells and has immunomodulatory, inflammatory, and anticancer properties. This highly polar and unstable compound forms a remarkably stable Schiff base with a lysine residue in major histocompatibility complex class I-related
