In vitro and in vivo formation of 7-(2'-carboxyethyl)guanine from the liver carcinogen 1-nitroso-5,6-dihydrouracil and its reactions with water and methanol.

J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 74(5) , 1105-10, (1985)

Base-catalyzed hydrolysis of the potent liver carcinogen 1-nitroso-5,6-dihydrouracil [(NDHU) CAS: 16813-36-8] afforded 3-hydroxypropionic acid and acrylic acid in 72 and 6% yield, respectively. The base-catalyzed methanolysis of NDHU gave quantitative yields ...
