N-Acetyldopamine dimer-2 (compound 2) is a N-acetyldopamine dimer that can be isolated from the yellow powder form Periostracum Cicadae with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. N-Acetyldopamine dimer-2 inhibits oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, ROS generation, NO production, and NF-κB activity.

Pyrimidines are heterocyclic six-membered nitrogen-containing carbon ring structures with uracil cytosine and thymine being the basal structures of ribose-containing nucleosides (uridine cytidine and thymidine respectively) or deoxyribose-containing deoxynucleosides and their corresponding ribonucleotides or deoxyribonucleotides.
