Abstract:
:Carcinogenic 9-anthryloxirane binds covalently to calf thymus DNA and poly(dA-dT). Application of the technique for DNA sequence determination shows that acid cleavage of the modified DNA frees approximately half of the anthryl groups from the DNA. HPLC analysis indicates that an adenine adduct and the glycol derived from 9-anthryloxirane are the major acid-labile products. Spectroscopic analyses establish that the adenine adduct is the N-3 adduct of 9-anthryloxirane to adenine. Similar analyses of modified poly(dA-dT) indicate that the binding of 9-anthryloxirane takes place selectively at the N-3 position of adenine. The significance of this finding is briefly discussed.
