5-Hydroxycytosine is a heterocyclic organic compound with a pyrimidine backbone. It is a derivative of the nucleic base cytosine with an additional hydroxyl group in position 5. It has been shown experimentally that it is removed from damaged DNA by endonuclease III in E. coli . It arises from the dehydration of the cytosine glycol produced by the oxidation of cytosine. This DNA mutation occurs more frequently in people with Alzheimer's disease than in people who are not.
