Abstract
5- (3- (1,2 -decaboronyl)propyl) -6-methyl-thiouracil, DBTU-1, and 5- (1,2-decaboronyl-methyl) -6-methyl-thiouracil, DBTU-2, are boron derivatives of thiouracil, which is reported to localise in melanoma as a false precursor in the synthesis of melanin.1,2 The chemical structures of DBTU-1 and DBTU-2 are given in Figure 1. Their preparation and characterisation is to be found elsewhere.3
