4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) is a compound used to make certain pharmaceuticals, photographic chemicals, dyes and pigments, cleaning and agricultural chemicals, and rubber products. 4-MEI is formed during the production of certain caramel coloring agents used in many food and drink products. It may also be formed during the cooking, roasting, or other processing of some foods and beverages. ... Studies published in 2007 by the [U.S.] federal government’s National Toxicology Program showed that long-term exposure to 4-MEI resulted in increases in lung cancer in male and female mice. These findings were the basis for the addition of 4-MEI to California’s Proposition 65 list of carcinogens. 6, record 2, English, - 4%2Dmethylimidazole

2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole are intermediate/starting materials or components in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, photographic and photothermographic chemicals, dyes and pigments, agricultural chemicals, and rubber. These chemicals have been identified as undesirable by-products in several foods and have been detected in mainstream and sidestream tobacco smoke. The National Cancer Institute nominated 2- and 4-methylimidazole as candidates for toxicity and carcinogenicity studies.

... Since imidazole also exists in tautomeric forms, either of the nitrogen atoms can bear the hydrogen atom, the two nitrogens become indistinguishable and the numbering becomes rather complex for mono-substituted imidazoles. As a consequence of this, 4-methylimidazole is identical with 5-methylimidazole and, depending on the position of the imino hydrogen, such a compound may be designated either 4- or 5-methylimidazole. As only one substance that may be a single tautomer or an equilibrium mixture is known, it would be incorrect to call it eithier 4- or 5-methylimidazole. Such a compound is instead designated as 4(5)-methylimidazole. 8, record 2, English, - 4%2Dmethylimidazole

"ring" : A cyclic molecular arrangement whose structure is represented by polygons having four to eight sides... The principal element... is usually carbon, as in the hexaganal benzene ring(homocyclic). If an element other than carbon appears in the ring, the compound is called heterocyclic, for example, the pentagonal furane ring. 2, record 11, English, - ring

Source WEBIN (Webster) gives "cycle" as a synonym for "ring". However, as shown by the definition of the term "ring" above, "ring" seems to be a specific term compared to "cycle", since it is a type of cyclic molecular arrangement. 3, record 11, English, - ring
