Product Description
5-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine (5-OHdU) is a major stable oxidation product of 2'-Deoxycytidine. 5-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine can be incorporated into DNA in vitro by DNA polymerase.
5-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine (CAS 5168-36-5) is a modified nucleoside analog, structurally related to 2'-deoxyuridine, with a hydroxyl group at the 5-position of the uracil ring. It has the molecular formula C₉H₁₂N₂O₆ and a molecular weight of 244.20 g/mol. This compound is primarily used in research as an oxidation product of thymidine and as a marker for oxidative DNA damage. It can be incorporated into DNA during replication, leading to mutations or strand breaks. It is also studied for its potential as a radiosensitizer in cancer therapy and as a probe for DNA repair mechanisms.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
5-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine targets DNA polymerases and repair enzymes. It is incorporated into DNA instead of thymidine, causing misincorporation and subsequent mutagenesis. The hydroxyl group at C5 can form reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon oxidation, leading to further DNA damage. The compound is a substrate for base excision repair (BER) enzymes, such as endonuclease III (NTHL1) and 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1), which remove the damaged base. Its presence in DNA signals oxidative stress and can activate DNA damage response pathways.
ln Vitro
In order to investigate the specificity of nucleotide incorporation with respect to 5-hydroxypyrimidine in template DNA, 18- and 45-membered oligodeoxyribonucleotides with internal 2'-deoxy- 5-hydroxyuridine (5-OHdU) were utilized. 2'-deoxy-5-hydroxyuridine (5-OHdU) was used to synthesize translesion in both oligonucleotides; however, it was seen one nucleotide ahead of and in the opposite position of the changed base in the template. Given 2'-deoxy-5-hydroxyuridine (5-OHdU) in the template, the specificity of nucleotide incorporation is contingent upon the context of the sequence. In a particular sequence context, the nucleotide integrated opposite 2'-deoxy-5-hydroxyuridine (5-OHdU) is dA. The main base opposite 2'-deoxy-5-hydroxyuridine (5-OHdU) in the second sequence context, however, is dC. Apart from 2'-deoxy-5-hydroxyuridine (5-OHdU), dC is the principal nucleotide incorporation in the same sequence context [1].
In vitro, 5-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine is used as a standard in analytical assays to quantify DNA oxidation. It is also used in cell culture to induce oxidative stress and study DNA repair. At concentrations of 10-100 µM, it can be incorporated into the DNA of replicating cells, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The compound is more potent than 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) in inducing DNA damage in certain cell lines. It is also used as a substrate to assess the activity of thymidine phosphorylase and other nucleoside-metabolizing enzymes.
ln Vivo
In vivo, 5-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine is not used therapeutically but is measured as a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage in urine and tissues. Elevated levels are found in patients with cancer, inflammatory diseases, or after exposure to ionizing radiation. In animal studies, administration of the compound (e.g., IP injection) has been used to model oxidative DNA damage and to study the efficacy of antioxidant treatments. It is rapidly excreted in urine, with a short half-life. Its role as a radiation sensitizer is under investigation but remains experimental.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for 5-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine focus on its interaction with DNA polymerases and repair enzymes. For DNA polymerase, the incorporation efficiency of the nucleoside triphosphate (5-OH-dUTP) is measured using a primer extension assay with a fluorescence or radiolabeled readout. For BER enzymes, a glycosylase activity assay uses a 5-OH-dU-containing duplex oligonucleotide as a substrate; the abasic site generated is detected by AP endonuclease cleavage or using a fluorescent probe. The assay conditions (pH, salt, temperature) are optimized for each enzyme.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular experiments for 5-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine involve treating cultured cells (e.g., fibroblasts, HeLa) with the compound (1-100 µM) for 24-72 hours. DNA damage is assessed by comet assay or by measuring γ-H2AX foci via immunofluorescence. Cell viability is determined by MTT. The compound's incorporation into DNA is verified by LC-MS/MS after DNA digestion. The effect on cell cycle progression and apoptosis is measured by flow cytometry. Repair kinetics are evaluated by time-course studies after removing the compound.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies for 5-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine are typically not performed with the compound itself, but its levels are measured in biological samples from oxidative stress models (e.g., toxin-treated mice, radiation-exposed rats). The compound is extracted from urine or tissues and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Its use as a tracer in pharmacokinetic studies is limited. The compound's ability to enhance radiation sensitivity has been assessed in mouse tumor models, but these are not standard.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of 5-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine are characterized by rapid absorption and elimination. It is quickly metabolized by thymidine phosphorylase to uracil derivatives and excreted renally. In humans, its half-life is about 30 minutes to 1 hour. The compound is not significantly protein-bound. Its concentration in tissues reflects local oxidative stress and DNA turnover. Formulation for therapeutic use has not been developed due to its toxicity at high doses and rapid clearance.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The toxicity profile of 5-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyuridine includes mutagenicity and cytotoxicity due to its incorporation into DNA. In vitro, it induces DNA strand breaks and apoptosis at millimolar concentrations. In vivo, high doses (e.g., >100 mg/kg) can cause myelosuppression and gastrointestinal toxicity in rodents, reflecting its effect on rapidly dividing cells. It is not approved for human use, and its safety margin is narrow. It is classified as a research chemical with potential genotoxic effects, requiring careful handling.
