Description

Thymine-1-yl acetic acid is a nucleobase that is found in DNA. Thymine-1-yl acetic acid contains a hydroxyl group and two functional groups, which are capable of forming an acid conjugate with a nitrogen atom. This acid conjugate can be used as a fluorescence probe to identify the site specific location of thymine. Thymine-1-yl acetic acid has been shown to react with human liver cells and liver cancer cells, which may be due to its ability to undergo nucleic acid synthesis. It has also been shown that thymine-1-yl acetic acid produces acidic environments when it is exposed to air.
