5-Formyl-dCTP lithium
5-Formyl-dCTP (5-Formyl-deoxycytidine) lithium is a DCTPP1 substrate. 5-Formyl-dCTP lithium acts as a mutagen/epigenetic disruptor via DNA polymerase incorporation, mutagenic mispairings, and disturbed epigenetic programming. 5-Formyl-dCTP lithium can be used for research on genotoxicity.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
5-Formyl-dCTP lithium exhibits enriched, specific binding to Con A (Kd,eff = 20 nM) with minimal binding to PSA (Kd,eff > 1 μM) after three rounds of two-color click-PD screening[1].
5-Formyl-dCTP lithium (10-250 μM) is hydrolysed by purified recombinant human DCTPP1 with high efficiency, exhibiting a Km of 9.2 μM, the lowest substrate affinity reported for the enzyme, and a specificity constant of 322,000/M·s[2].

Genotoxicity/Mutagenicity Study
The bacterial reverse mutation assay detects point mutations that restore amino-acid prototrophy in auxotrophic Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli tester strains; after exposure to a test article, mutagenic activity is read out as an increased number of revertant colonies on minimal agar compared with the vehicle control. The assay uses tester strains with different mutation targets so that base-substitution and frameshift mutagens can be detected, and testing is performed with and without exogenous mammalian metabolic activation because some chemicals require biotransformation to become mutagenic.
