Thymine
Thymine, also known as 5-methyluracil, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxypyrimidines. These are organic compounds containing a hydroxyl group attached to a pyrimidine ring. Pyrimidine is a 6-membered ring consisting of four carbon atoms and two nitrogen centers at the 1- and 3- ring positions. Thymine was first isolated in 1893 by Albrecht Kossel and Albert Neumann from calves thymus glands, hence its name. Thymine is one of the 4 nuelcoebases found in DNA and is essential to all life. Thymine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Thymine combined with deoxyribose creates the nucleoside deoxythymidine (also called thymidine) which when phosphorylated to dTDP can be incorporated into DNA via DNA polymerases. Thymidine can be phosphorylated with up to three phosphoric acid groups, producing dTMP (deoxythymidine monophosphate) dTDP and/or dTTP. In RNA thymine is replaced with uracil in most cases. In DNA, thymine binds to adenine via two hydrogen bonds to assist in stabilizing the nucleic acid structures. Within humans, thymine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, thymine and deoxyribose 1-phosphate can be biosynthesized from thymidine through its interaction with the enzyme thymidine phosphorylase. In addition, thymine can be converted into dihydrothymine; which is mediated by the enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase [NADP(+)]. One of the pyrimidine bases of living matter.

Uracil
Uracil, also known as U, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidones. Pyrimidones are compounds that contain a pyrimidine ring, which bears a ketone. Pyrimidine is a 6-membered ring consisting of four carbon atoms and two nitrogen centers at the 1- and 3- ring positions. Uracil is a common naturally occurring pyrimidine found in RNA. It base pairs with adenine and is replaced by thymine in DNA. Uracil is one of the four nucleobases in RNA that are represented by the letters A, G, C and U. Methylation of uracil produces thymine. The name "uracil" was coined in 1885 by the German chemist Robert Behrend, who was attempting to synthesize derivatives of uric acid. Originally discovered in 1900, uracil was isolated by hydrolysis of yeast nuclein that was found in bovine thymus and spleen, herring sperm, and wheat germ. Uracil exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Uracils use in the body is to help carry out the synthesis of many enzymes necessary for cell function through bonding with riboses and phosphates. Uracil serves as an allosteric regulator and a coenzyme for many important biochemical reactions. Uracil (via the nucleoside uridine) can be phosphorylated by various kinases to produce UMP, UDP and UTP. UDP and UTP regulate carbamoyl phosphate synthetase II (CPSase II) activity in animals. Uracil is also involved in the biosynthesis of polysaccharides and in the transport of sugars containing aldehydes. Within humans, uracil participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, uracil and ribose 1-phosphate can be biosynthesized from uridine; which is mediated by the enzyme uridine phosphorylase 2. In addition, uracil can be converted into dihydrouracil through the action of the enzyme dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase [NADP(+)]. Uracil is rarely found in DNA, and this may have been an evolutionary change to increase genetic stability. This is because cytosine can deaminate spontaneously to produce uracil through hydrolytic deamination. Therefore, if there were an organism that used uracil in its DNA, the deamination of cytosine (which undergoes base pairing with guanine) would lead to formation of uracil (which would base pair with adenine) during DNA synthesis. Uracil can be used for drug delivery and as a pharmaceutical. When elemental fluorine reacts with uracil, it produces 5-fluorouracil. 5-Fluorouracil is an anticancer drug (antimetabolite) that mimics uracil during the nucleic acid (i.e. RNA) synthesis and transcription process. Because 5-fluorouracil is similar in shape to, but does not undergo the same chemistry as, uracil, the drug inhibits RNA replication enzymes, thereby blocking RNA synthesis and stopping the growth of cancerous cells. Uracil is a common and naturally occurring pyrimidine derivative. Originally discovered in 1900, it was isolated by hydrolysis of yeast nuclein that was found in bovine thymus and spleen, herring sperm, and wheat germ. It is a planar, unsaturated compound that has the ability to absorb light. Uracil. CAS Common Chemistry.

Lumichrome
Lumichrome, also known as light folinic acid or 7,8-dimethyl-10-ribitylisoalloxazine, is a derivative of riboflavin (vitamin B2). The chemical structure of lumichrome consists of a heterocyclic isoalloxazine ring, which is a fused pyridine and pyrazine ring system. The isoalloxazine ring contains a methyl group at the 7 and 8 positions and is substituted at the 10 position with a ribityl group, which is a 5-carbon chain derived from ribose with a methyl group at the 2’ position. Photocatalytic Activity: Lumichrome exhibits photocatalytic activity and can act as a photosensitizer. It can absorb light energy and transfer it to other molecules, potentially triggering photochemical reactions. Fluorescence: Lumichrome is known for its fluorescence properties. This characteristic makes it useful in various applications, including fluorescence microscopy and as a labeling agent in biological assays. Antioxidant Properties: Lumichrome has been found to have antioxidant properties. It can scavenge free radicals, which may help in protecting cells from oxidative stress. Metabolic Intermediate: In the body, lumichrome can be formed from riboflavin through photochemical or enzymatic degradation. It may play a role in the metabolism of flavins and could be involved in the recycling of flavin cofactors. Potential Biomarker: Due to its presence in biological tissues and its fluorescence properties, lumichrome has been proposed as a potential biomarker for certain diseases and conditions. Plant Pigment: In plants, lumichrome can be involved in light capture and energy transfer processes, although it is not a chlorophyll pigment. It may contribute to the overall light-harvesting capabilities of plant tissues. While lumichrome has several interesting chemical and biological properties, it is not considered an essential nutrient like its parent compound, riboflavin. Its exact role in biological systems is still an area of ongoing research. Lumichrome, a photodegradation product of Riboflavin, is an endogenous compound in humans. Lumichrome inhibits human lung cancer cell growth and induces apoptosis via a p53-dependent mechanism[1][2].
