In 1894, Cytosine was discovered by Albrecht Kossel when it was hydrolysed from calf thymus tissues. A structure was proposed in 1903, and was synthesized in the laboratory in the same year. The first time any quantum mechanical properties were harnessed to process information took place on August 1st in 1998 when researchers at Oxford implemented David Deutsch's algorithm on a two qubit NMRQC based on the cytosine molecule.

 Cytosine (CAS NO.71-30-7) is used as pharmaceutical intermediates.
