Peroxodisulfate oxidations of uracil and 6-aminouracil followed by hydrolysis led to efficient syntheses of isobarbituric acid and isouramil.

A method, involving a HPLC prepurification followed by a GC/MS analysis, has been set up for the measurement of nucleic acid oxidation products in human urine. For this purpose, isotopically labeled internal standards have been prepared and used for isotope dilution mass spectrometric detection. Using this approach, four oxidized DNA bases, i.e., 5-hydroxyuracil, 5- (hydroxymethyl)uracil, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroadenine, and 8-oxo-7,8- dihydroguanine, together with 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine have been simultaneously quantified in human urine samples. The levels of the oxidized nucleic acid constituents, as expressed in picomoles per milliliter, were determined to be, in decreasing order: 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (583 ± 376) > 5-(hydroxymethyl)uracil (121 ± 56) > 5-hydroxyuracil (58 ± 23) > 8-oxo- 7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (30 ± 15) > 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroadenine (7 ± 4). Attempts to determine the amount of 5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymine, 5- hydroxycytosine, and 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5-formamidopyrimidine using the above HPLC-GC/MS method were unsuccessful.
Oxidation of nucleic acid related compounds by the peroxodisulfate ion

, p. 2257 - 2264 (2007/10/02)
The treatment of nucleic acid bases, nucleosides, and nucleotides with peroxodisulfate ion in a phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.0 or water at 70-75°C was investigated. The reaction of thymine and 5-methylcytosine nucleosides and nucleotides resulted in the oxidation of the 5-methyl groups. The oxidation products from 1,3-dimethyluracils and the time-course of the reaction of uracils led to two plausible reaction mechanisms for the oxidation of uracils.
