First of all, you don't need to add a route to do it.
Second the normal loopback address is 127.0.0.1, so you need to add 
another loopback interface address of 127.0.0.5 if you expect to accept 
a packet re-addressed by DNAT to 127.0.0.5.

If those are corrected then what you need to change the destination 
address of a packet generated locally is something like this in 
/etc/sysconfig/iptables:
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [0:0]
 
-A OUTPUT -d 192.168.100.99/32 -j DNAT --to-destination 127.0.0.5
