5-Hydroxyuracil
IUPAC 名称
5-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-2,4-dione
描述
5-hydroxyuracil, also known as dihydropyrimidine-2,4,5(3h)-trione or isobarbituric acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as hydroxypyrimidines. Hydroxypyrimidines are organic compounds containing a hydroxyl group attached to a pyrimidine ring. Pyrimidine is a 6-membered ring consisting of four carbon atoms and two nitrogen centers at the 1- and 3- ring positions. 5-hydroxyuracil is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 5-hydroxyuracil can be found in broad bean, which makes 5-hydroxyuracil a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. 5-hydroxyuracil is an oxidized form of cytosine that is produced by the oxidative deamination of cytosines by reactive oxygen species. It does not distort the DNA molecule and is bypassed by replicative DNA polymerases. It can miscode for adenine and is potentially mutagenic .
