Description and Uses

5-bromouracil (5-BU) is a uracil derivative, and its 5' position of the pyrimidine ring is halogenated. If 5-BU is incorporated into DNA in place of thymine, the tautomeric shift will occur, and the 5-BU will base pair with guanine. After the replication, an A-T to G-C transition occurs. Furthermore, the presence of 5-BU within DNA increases the sensitivity of the molecule to UV light. 5-BU is structurally similar to thymine. Therefore, it is considered a thymine analog and base-pairs normally with adenine. It is rarely present in its enol form, where its base pairs with guanine. 5-Bromouracil treats neoplasms in the form of its nucleoside, 5-bromo-2-deoxy-uridine[1-2].

A major chemical mutagen. Incorporates into DNA, altering base-pair sequencing by replacing thymine
