Notes: 5-Formyluracil is an oxidized form of thymine and a marker of DNA oxidative damage.{64900} Incorporation of 5-formyluracil into DNA forms mispairings with thymine, cytosine, and guanine and induces mutations in E. coli.{64898} 5-Formyluracil (1 mM) decreases the viability of V9-4 lung fibroblasts and increases their mutation frequency in a concentration-dependent manner.{64899}
