Descripción

5-n-Propyluracil is a synthetic compound that has been found to interact with guanine in tumour cells. It is a nucleoside analogue that can be incorporated into DNA and RNA, causing the synthesis of abnormal sequences. 5-n-Propyluracil is used as an anticancer drug and has been shown to inhibit the polymerase activity of tumour cells. 5-n-Propyluracil also interacts with 8-chloroguanine, and this interaction may be responsible for its cytotoxicity against cancer cells. The colorimetric method can be used to detect the presence of 5-n-propyluracil in a sample, while adsorption chromatography can be used to separate it from other compounds. The purine base of 5-n-propyluracil reacts with the 8-chloroguanine base on the opposite strand, forming a crosslink between two strands of DNA, which leads to
