Abstract
7H-Dibenzo[c,g]carbazole (DBC), a local and systemic carcinogen in animal studies, is a common environmental pollutant. It generally co-occurs in a variety of organic complex mixtures derived from incomplete combustion of organic matter. Despite high lipophilicity, DBC is more water-soluble and faster metabolized than the homocyclic aromatics. Moreover, greater polarity, high bioaccumulation potential, and persistence in the environment may imply DBC's higher biological significance and impact on human health, even at lower concentrations. The biotransformation pathways of DBC are incompletely known and the ultimate carcinogenic metabolite(s) are not clearly identified as yet. Structure-biological studies suggest two ways of activation: at the ring carbon atoms and at the pyrrole nitrogen. It is supposed that the particular pathway of biotransformation might be connected with the tissue/organ specificity of DBC. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) family of enzymes plays a pivotal role in the metabolism of DBC; though, the one-electron activation and the aldo-keto reductase-catalyzed oxidation are also involved in metabolic activation. Additionally, DBC can be photoactivated even at physiologically relevant doses of UVA light due to the extended aromatic ring system resulting in strong genotoxicity and oxidative stress. The goal of this review is to summarize current knowledge on mechanisms of DBC activation and possible implications for toxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity.

Abstract
Aromatic chemicals can undergo metabolic activation to afford electrophilic species that react at the C8-site of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) to generate bulky C8-dG adducts as a basis of initiating carcinogenesis. These DNA lesions have served as models to understand the mechanism of frameshift mutagenesis, especially within CG-dinucleotide repeat sequences, such as NarI (5'-GGCXCC-3', where X = C8-dG adduct), however there is still limited capacity to predict the likelihood of mutation arising within particular contexts, and hence chemistry-based strategies are needed for probing relationships between nucleic acid sequence and structure with replication errors. In the NarI sequence, certain C8-dG adducts may trigger in the course of DNA synthesis the formation of a slipped mutagenic intermediate (SMI) that contains a two nucleotide (XC) bulge in the template strand that can form upstream of the polymerase active site. This distortion facilitates polymerization but affords a GC dinucleotide deletion product (-2 frameshift mutation). In the current study, incorporating the fluorescent C-linked 4-fluorobiphenyl-dG (FBP-dG) adduct into two 22-mer templates containing CG-dinucleotide repeats ( NarI: 3'-CXCGGC-5' and CG3: 3'-CXCGCG-5', X = FBP-dG) and performing primer extension reactions using DNA polymerase I, Klenow fragment exo- (Kf-) revealed a dramatic sequence-based difference in polymerase bypass efficiency. Primer extension past FBP-dG within the NarI sequence was strongly blocked, whereas Kf- extended the primer past FBP-dG within a CG3 template to afford a full-length product and the GC dinucleotide deletion. To model the nucleotide insertion steps in the fully paired (FP) versus the slipped mutagenic (SM) translesion pathways, adducted template:primer duplexes were constructed and characterized by UV thermal denaturation and fluorescence spectroscopy. The emission intensity of the FBP-dG lesion exhibits sensitivity to SMI formation (turn-on) versus a FP duplex (turn-off), permitting insight into adduct base-pairing within the template:primer duplexes. This fluorescence sensitivity provides a rationale for sequence impact on -2 frameshift mutations mediated by the C-linked FBP-dG lesion.

Abstract
Arylated products are found in various fields of chemistry and represent essential entities for many applications. Therefore, the formation of this structural feature represents a central issue of contemporary organic synthesis. By the action of electricity the necessity of leaving groups, metal catalysts, stoichiometric oxidizers, or reducing agents can be omitted in part or even completely. The replacement of conventional reagents by sustainable electricity not only will be environmentally benign but also allows significant short cuts in electrochemical synthesis. In addition, this methodology can be considered as inherently safe. The current survey is organized in cathodic and anodic conversions as well as by the number of leaving groups being involved. In some electroconversions the reagents used are regenerated at the electrode, whereas in other electrotransformations free radical sequences are exploited to afford a highly sustainable process. The electrochemical formation of the aryl-substrate bond is discussed for aromatic substrates, heterocycles, other multiple bond systems, and even at saturated carbon substrates. This survey covers most of the seminal work and the advances of the past two decades in this area.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a fungal toxin that is considered to be a potent kidney carcinogen in rodent models. The toxin produces double strand breaks and has a propensity for deletions, single-base substitutions, and insertions. The toxin reacts covalently with DNA to afford a C8-2'-deoxyguanosine carbon-linked adduct (OT-dG) as the major lesion in animal tissues. Incorporation of model C-linked C8-aryl-dG adducts into the G3 site of the NarI sequence demonstrates a tendency to induce base substitutions and deletion mutations in primer extension assays using model polymerases. The degree of misincorporation induced by the C-linked C8-dG adducts correlates with an ability to adopt the promutagenic syn conformation within the NarI duplex as predicted by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. MD simulations of the OT-dG adduct within the NarI duplex predict an even greater degree of conformational flexibility, suggesting enhanced in vitro mutagenicity compared to the simpler model C-linked C8-dG adducts. Together these findings support the role of OT-dG in promoting OTA-mediated mutagenicity and carcinogenicity in animal studies.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) comprise the major class of cancer-causing chemicals and are ranked ninth among the chemical compounds threatening to humans. Moreover, interest in PAHs has been mainly due to their genotoxic, teratogenic, mutagenic and carcinogenic property. Polymorphism in cytochrome P450 (CYP450) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) has the capacity to convert procarcinogens into carcinogens, which is an imperative factor contributing to individual susceptibility to cancer development. The carcinogenicity potential of PAHs is related to their ability to bind to DNA, thereby enhances DNA cross-linking, causing a series of disruptive effects which can result in tumor initiation. They induce cellular toxicity by regulating the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which arbitrate apoptosis. Additionally, cellular toxicity-mediated apoptotic and autophagic cell death and immune suppression by industrial pollutants PAH, provide fertile ground for the proliferation of mutated cells, which results in cancer growth and progression. PAHs play a foremost role in angiogenesis necessary for tumor metastasization by promoting the upregulation of metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) in human cancer cells. This review sheds light on the molecular mechanisms of PAHs induced cancer development as well as autophagic and apoptotic cell death. Besides that authors have unraveled how phytotherapeutics is an alternate potential therapeutics acting as a savior from the toxic effects of PAHs for safer and cost effective perspectives.

Abstract
Aryl radicals can react at the C8-site of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) to produce DNA adducts with a C8-C linkage (denoted C-linked). Such adducts are structurally distinct from those possessing a flexible amine (N-linked) or ether (O-linked) linkage, which separates the C8-aryl moiety from the guanine nucleobase. In the current study, two model C-linked C8-dG adducts, namely, C8-benzo[b]thienyl-dG ([BTh]G) and C8-(pyren-1-yl)-dG ([Py]G), were incorporated into the NarI (12mer, NarI(12) and 22mer, NarI(22)) hotspot sequence for frameshift mutations in bacteria. For the first time, C-linked C8-dG adducts are shown to stabilize the -2 deletion duplex within the NarI sequence. Primer-elongation assays employing Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 DNA polymerase IV (Dpo4) demonstrates the influence of C8-aryl ring size and shape in promoting Dpo4 blockage or strand realignment to produce a C:C mismatch downstream of the adduct site. Molecular dynamics simulations of the -2 deletion duplex suggest that both anti and syn adduct structures are energetically accessible. These findings provide a rationale for describing the biochemical outcome induced by C-linked C8-dG adducts when processed by Dpo4.

Abstract
Chemical mutagens with an aromatic ring system may be enzymatically transformed to afford aryl radical species that preferentially react at the C8-site of 2′-deoxyguanosine (dG). The resulting carbon-linked C8-aryl-dG adduct possesses altered biophysical and genetic coding properties compared to the precursor nucleoside. Described herein are structural and in vitro mutagenicity studies of a series of fluorescent C8-aryl-dG analogues that differ in aryl ring size and are representative of authentic DNA adducts. These structural mimics have been inserted into a hotspot sequence for frameshift mutations, namely, the reiterated G3-position of the NarI sequence within 12mer (NarI(12)) and 22mer (NarI(22)) oligonucleotides. In the NarI(12) duplexes, the C8-aryl-dG adducts display a preference for adopting an anti-conformation opposite C, despite the strong syn preference of the free nucleoside. Using the NarI(22) sequence as a template for DNA synthesis in vitro, mutagenicity of the C8-aryl-dG adducts was assayed with representative high-fidelity replicative versus lesion bypass Y-family DNA polymerases, namely, Escherichia coli pol I Klenow fragment exo− (Kf−) and Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 DNA polymerase IV (Dpo4). Our experiments provide a basis for a model involving a two-base slippage and subsequent realignment process to relate the miscoding properties of C-linked C8-aryl-dG adducts with their chemical structures.

Abstract
Elucidation of estrogen carcinogenesis required a few fundamental discoveries made by studying the mechanism of carcinogenesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The two major mechanisms of metabolic activation of PAH involve formation of radical cations and diol epoxides as ultimate carcinogenic metabolites. These intermediates react with DNA to yield two types of adducts: stable adducts that remain in DNA unless removed by repair and depurinating adducts that are lost from DNA by cleavage of the glycosyl bond between the purine base and deoxyribose. The potent carcinogenic PAH benzo[a]pyrene, dibenzo[a,l]pyrene, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene and 3-methylcholanthrene predominantly form depurinating DNA adducts, leaving apurinic sites in the DNA that generate cancer-initiating mutations. This was discovered by correlation between the depurinating adducts formed in mouse skin by treatment with benzo[a]pyrene, dibenzo[a,l]pyrene or 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene and the site of mutations in the Harvey-ras oncogene in mouse skin papillomas initiated by one of these PAH. By applying some of these fundamental discoveries in PAH studies to estrogen carcinogenesis, the natural estrogens estrone (E1) and estradiol (E2) were found to be mutagenic and carcinogenic through formation of the depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts 4-OHE1(E2)-1-N3Ade and 4-OHE1(E2)-1-N7Gua. These adducts are generated by reaction of catechol estrogen quinones with DNA, analogously to the DNA adducts obtained from the catechol quinones of benzene, naphthalene, and the synthetic estrogens diethylstilbestrol and hexestrol. This is a weak mechanism of cancer initiation. Normally, estrogen metabolism is balanced and few estrogen-DNA adducts are formed. When estrogen metabolism becomes unbalanced, more catechol estrogen quinones are generated, resulting in higher levels of estrogen-DNA adducts, which can be used as biomarkers of unbalanced estrogen metabolism and, thus, cancer risk. The ratio of estrogen-DNA adducts to estrogen metabolites and conjugates has repeatedly been found to be significantly higher in women at high risk for breast cancer, compared to women at normal risk. These results indicate that formation of estrogen-DNA adducts is a critical factor in the etiology of breast cancer. Significantly higher adduct ratios have been observed in women with breast, thyroid or ovarian cancer. In the women with ovarian cancer, single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes for two enzymes involved in estrogen metabolism indicate risk for ovarian cancer. When polymorphisms produce high activity cytochrome P450 1B1, an activating enzyme, and low activity catechol-O-methyltransferase, a protective enzyme, in the same woman, she is almost six times more likely to have ovarian cancer. These results indicate that formation of estrogen-DNA adducts is a critical factor in the etiology of ovarian cancer. Significantly higher ratios of estrogen-DNA adducts to estrogen metabolites and conjugates have also been observed in men with prostate cancer or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, compared to healthy men without cancer. These results also support a critical role of estrogen-DNA adducts in the initiation of cancer. Starting from the perspective that unbalanced estrogen metabolism can lead to increased formation of catechol estrogen quinones, their reaction with DNA to form adducts, and generation of cancer-initiating mutations, inhibition of estrogen-DNA adduct formation would be an effective approach to preventing a variety of human cancers. The dietary supplements resveratrol and N-acetylcysteine can act as preventing cancer agents by keeping estrogen metabolism balanced. These two compounds can reduce the formation of catechol estrogen quinones and/or their reaction with DNA. Therefore, resveratrol and N-acetylcysteine provide a widely applicable, inexpensive approach to preventing many of the prevalent types of human cancer.

Abstract
To study the structural and biological impact of 8-aryl-2'-deoxyguanosine adducts, an efficient protocol is required to incorporate them site-specifically into oligonucleotide substrates. Traditional phosphoramidite chemistry using 5'-O-DMT protection can be limiting because 8-aryl-dG adducts suffer from greater rates of acid-catalyzed depurination than dG and are sensitive to the acidic deblock conditions required to remove the DMT group. Herein we show that the 5'-O-2,7-dimethylpixyl (DMPx) protecting group can be used to limit acid exposure and improve DNA synthesis efficiency for DNA substrates containing 8-aryl-dG adducts. Our studies focus on 8-aryl-dG adducts with 8-substituents consisting of furyl ((Fur)dG), phenyl ((Ph)dG), 4-cyanophenyl ((CNPh)dG), and quinolyl ((Q)dG). These adducts differ in ring size and sensitivity to acid-promoted deglycosylation. A kinetic study for adduct hydrolysis in 0.1 M aqueous HCl determined that (Fur)dG was the most acid-sensitive (55.2-fold > dG), while (Q)dG was the most resistant (5.6-fold > dG). The most acid-sensitive (Fur)dG was chosen for optimization of solid-phase DNA synthesis. Our studies show that the 5'-O-DMPx group can provide a 4-fold increase in yield compared to 5'-O-DMT for incorporation of (Fur)dG into DNA substrates critical for determining adduct impact on DNA synthesis and repair.

Abstract
Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a major human carcinogen in combustion products such as cigarette smoke and diesel exhaust, is metabolically activated into DNA-reactive metabolites via three different enzymatic pathways. The pathways are the anti-(+)-benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxide pathway (P450/epoxide hydrolase catalyzed) (B[a]PDE), the benzo[a]pyrene o-quinone pathway (aldo ketose reductase (AKR) catalyzed) and the B[a]P radical cation pathway (P450 peroxidase catalyzed). We used a yeast p53 mutagenesis system to assess mutagenesis by B[a]P radical cations. Because radical cations are short-lived, they were generated in situ by reacting B[a]P with cumene hydroperoxide (CuOOH) and horse radish peroxidase (HRP) and then monitoring the generation of the more stable downstream products, B[a]P-1,6-dione and B[a]P-3,6-dione. On the basis of B[a]P-1,6 and 3,6-dione formation, approximately 4 μM of radical cation was generated. In the mutagenesis assays, the radical cations produced in situ showed a dose-dependent increase in mutagenicity from 0.25 μM to 10 μM B[a]P with no significant increase seen with further escalation to 50 μM B[a]P. However, mutagenesis was 200-fold less than with the AKR pathway derived B[a]P, 7-8-dione. Mutant p53 plasmids, which yield red colonies, were recovered from the yeast to study the pattern and spectrum of mutations. The mutation pattern observed was G to T (31%) > G to C (29%) > G to A (14%). The frequency of codons mutated by the B[a]P radical cations was essentially random and not enriched at known cancer hotspots. The quinone products of radical cations, B[a]P-1,6-dione and B[a]P-3,6-dione were more mutagenic than the radical cation reactions, but still less mutagenic than AKR derived B[a]P-7,8-dione. We conclude that B[a]P radical cations and their quinone products are weakly mutagenic in this yeast-based system compared to redox cycling PAH o-quinones.

Abstract
The synthesis and optical properties of the carbon (C)-linked C(8)-(2"-benzo[b]thienyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine ((Bth)dG), which acts as a fluorescent reporter of syn versus anti glycosidic conformations in duplex DNA, are described. In the syn-conformation, the probe stabilizes a G:G mismatch, emits at ∼385 nm (excitation ∼285 nm), and shows an induced circular dichroism (ICD) signal at ∼320 nm. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations predict a wedge (W)-conformation for the mismatched duplex with the C(8)-benzo[b]thienyl moiety residing in the minor groove. In contrast, the probe destabilizes the duplex when base paired with its normal pyrimidine partner C. With flanking purine bases, a major groove B-type duplex is favored with (Bth)dG present in the anti-conformation emitting at ∼413 nm (excitation ∼326 nm) and no ICD signal. However, with flanking pyrimidine bases, (Bth)dG adopts the syn-conformation when base paired with C, and MD simulations predict a base-displaced stacked (S)-conformation, with the opposing C flipped out of the helix. The different duplex (B-, S-, and W-) conformers formed upon incorporation of (Bth)dG are known to play a critical role in the biological activity of N-linked C8-dG adducts formed by arylamine carcinogens. Bulky environment-sensitive fluorescent C(8)-dG adducts that mimic the duplex structures formed by carcinogens may be useful in luminescence-based DNA polymerase assays.

Abstract
Depurinating DNA adducts formed by aromatic hydrocarbons and catechol estrogen quinones play a major role in cancer initiation. Most of these adducts depurinate instantaneously, but some guanine adducts depurinate from DNA with half-lives of hours. We report here, that after 10 h at 37 °C, reaction of estradiol-3,4-quinone (E(2)-3,4-Q) with ds-DNA to yield N7Gua and N3Ade adducts was complete and more efficient than with ss-DNA. When E(2)-3,4-Q reacted with t-RNA, no adducts were detected after 10 h, and the level of N3Ade and N7Gua adducts after 10 days was less than half that with ss-DNA after 10 h. Reaction of E(2)-3,4-Q and dG yielded 4-OHE(2)-1-N7dG, which spontaneously depurinated to yield 4-OHE(2)-1-N7Gua. To investigate the mechanism of depurination, E(2)-3,4-Q was reacted with carbocyclicdeoxyguanosine, in which the ring oxygen of the deoxyribose moiety is substituted with CH(2) , and depurination was observed. The results from this experiment demonstrate that the oxocarbenium ion mechanism plays the major role in depurination and provides the first experimental evidence for this mechanism. A newly discovered β-elimination mechanism also plays a minor role in depurination. Understanding why the depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts come from DNA, and not from RNA, underscores the critical role that these adducts play in initiating cancer.

Abstract
Phenolic toxins and mutagenic diazoquinones generate C-linked adducts at the C8 site of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) through the intermediacy of radical species. We have previously reported the site-specific incorporation of these adducts into oligonucleotides using a postsynthetic palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling strategy [Omumi (2011 ) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 133 , 42 - 50 ]. We report here the structural impact of these lesions within two decanucleotide sequences containing either 5'- and 3'-flanking pyrimidines or purines. In the complementary strands, the base opposite (N) the C-linked adduct was varied to determine the possibility of mismatch stabilization by the modified nucleobases. The resulting adducted duplex structures were characterized using UV thermal denaturation studies, circular dichroism, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The experimental data showed the C-linked adducts to destabilize the duplex when base paired with its normal partner C but to increase duplex stability within a G:G mismatch. The stabilization within the G:G mismatch was sequence dependent, with flanking purine bases playing a key role in the stabilizing influence of the adduct. MD simulations showed no large structural changes to the B form double helix, regardless of the (anti/syn) adduct preference. Consideration of H-bonding and stacking interactions derived from the MD simulations together with the thermal melting data and changes in fluorescent emission of the adducts upon hybridization to the complementary strands implied that the C-linked phenolic adducts preferentially adopt the syn-conformation within both duplexes regardless of the opposite base N. Given that biological outcome in terms of mutagenicity appears to be strongly correlated to the conformational preference of the corresponding N-linked C8-dG adducts, the potential biological implications of phenolic C-linked adducts are discussed.

Abstract
Nucleobase adducts, which form in vivo by the nucleophilic attack of nucleobases on exogenous electrophilic species, can impact conformation and biological influences of the adducted nucleoside. Contemporary studies aim to address the occurrence and relevance of O-linked 8-phenoxy-purine adducts; however, preparative techniques for synthesizing these nucleosides were not previously described. Reported herein is a relatively facile synthesis of O-linked 8-dG phenol adducts with a wide variety of electron-donating, electron-withdrawing, and sterically demanding phenols.

Abstract
Direct radical addition reactions at the C(8)-site of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) can afford C(8)-Ar-dG adducts that are produced by carcinogenic arylhydrazines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and certain phenolic toxins. Such modified nucleobases are also highly fluorescent for sensing applications and possess useful electron transfer properties. The site-specific synthesis of oligonucleotides containing the C(8)-Ar-G adduct can be problematic. These lesions are sensitive to acids and oxidants that are commonly used in solid-phase DNA synthesis and are too bulky to be accepted as substrates for enzymatic synthesis by DNA polymerases. Using the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, we have synthesized a number of C(8)-Ar-G-modified oligonucleotides (dimers, trimers, decamers, and a 15-mer) using a range of arylboronic acids. Good to excellent yields were obtained, and the reaction is insensitive to the nature of the bases flanking the convertible 8-Br-G nucleobase, as both pyrimidines and purines are tolerated. The impact of the C(8)-Ar-G lesion was also characterized by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry, UV melting temperature analysis, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The C(8)-Ar-G-modified oligonucleotides are expected to be useful substrates for diagnostic applications and understanding the biological impact of the C(8)-Ar-G lesion.

Abstract
The synthesis of the C(8)-aryl adducts of adenine and guanine formed by reaction of the radical cation metabolites of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as benzo[a]pyrene (BP) and dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC), with DNA is reported. The synthetic approach involves in the key step direct reaction of a PAH aldehyde with a di- or triamine precursor of a purine. The method is operationally simple, affords good yields of adducts, and is broad in its scope. The C(8)-aryl adducts of adenine and guanine derived from BP (6-BP-8-Ade and 6-BP-8-Gua) and DBC (10-DBC-8-Ade and 10-DBC-8-Gua) were synthesized in good yields by this method. Analogous C(8)-aryl adenine and guanine derivatives of other PAHs (anthracene, benz[a]anthracene, and chrysene) were also readily prepared via this approach. This method of synthesis is superior to the only method that is currently available. It entails direct reaction of short-lived PAH radical cations (generated electrochemically or chemically) with 2'-deoxyribonucleosides or the corresponding purine bases. It provides the adducts in low yields accompanied by complex mixtures of secondary products. An alternative synthesis that involves Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of arylboronic acids with 8-bromopurine nucleosides was also investigated. Although the C(8)-purine adducts of PAHs, such as naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and chrysene, could be prepared by this method, analogous adducts of carcinogenic PAHs and other structurally related PAHs, e.g., anthracene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, and dibenzo[def,p]chrysene, could not be obtained. This difference was shown to be a consequence of the facility of competing hydrolytic deboronation of the corresponding arylboronic acids.

Abstract
In the Suzuki arylations of unprotected halonucleosides in aqueous media, 8-bromo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8BrdG) couplings were slower to reach completion than the corresponding 8-bromo-2'-deoxyadenosine (8BrdA) couplings. The guanine moiety has an acidic proton, which under our Suzuki conditions (pH congruent with 10) may be deprotonated to give an anion that can coordinate to palladium. The possibility that guanine coordination was responsible for the observed slower rates was explored using additive experiments in which nonhalogenated nucleosides were added to the Suzuki coupling reaction of 8BrdA or 4-bromotoluene and PhB(OH)2 and the reaction progress monitored by HPLC or GC. Adding dG slowed these reactions, and an induction period was observed. The addition of dA or 1-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (1MedG) to these couplings did not affect the rate of conversion to product. Guanine coordination was further explored using 13C and 31P NMR spectroscopy, which implies that guanine is coordinating to palladium through N-1 or O-6, or both. Furthermore, the presence of dG inhibited the formation of the active palladium(0) catalytic species, which may account for both the observed induction period and the sluggishness of reactions where guanine is involved.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), possibly produced during the metabolic conversion of benzo(a)pyrene (B[a]P), could be involved in B[a]P-induced genotoxicity and, eventually, carcinogenicity. Therefore, ROS formation by rat lung and liver microsomes was studied in vitro by electron spin resonance (ESR/EPR) spectrometry. B[a]P-mediated generation of ROS was detected in incubations with rat lung, but not with liver microsomes. Inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) by the non isoform-specific inhibitor SKF-525A resulted in a complete inhibition of B[a]P-dependent ROS formation, whereas ROS formation was not affected by inhibition of prostaglandin H synthase by indomethacin. Subsequently, bulky DNA adduct formation and 8-oxo-dG levels after a single oral dose of B[a]P were examined in vivo in rat lung and liver, in combination with urinary excretion of 8-oxodG. B[a]P exposure resulted in increased urinary 8-oxo-dG levels. On the contrary, 8-oxo-dG levels decreased in liver and lung after B[a]P exposure. Bulky DNA adducts reached higher levels and were more persistent in rat lung than in liver. These results indicate that ROS are generated during the CYP450 dependent metabolism of B[a]P, particularly in the rat lung, but this does not necessarily result in increased levels of oxidative DNA damage in vivo, possibly by induction of DNA repair mechanisms.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic aromatic compounds (HACs) constitute a major class of chemical carcinogens present in the environment. These compounds require activation to electrophilic metabolites to exert their mutagenic or carcinogenic effects. There are three principal pathways currently proposed for metabolic activation of PAH and HAC: the pathway via bay region dihydrodiol epoxide by cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs), the pathway via radical cation by one-electron oxidation, and the ortho-quinone pathway by dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (DD). In addition to these major pathways, a brief description of a minor metabolic activation pathway, sulfonation, for PAHs that contain a primary benzylic alcoholic group or secondary hydroxyl group(s) is included in this review. The DNA damages caused through the reactive metabolites of PAH/HAC are described involving the DNA covalent binding to form stable or depurinating adducts, the formation of apurinic sites, and the oxidative damage. The review emphasizes the chemical/biochemical reactions involved in the metabolic processes and the chemical structures of metabolites and DNA adducts.

Abstract
The two major metabolic pathways of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) that lead to DNA lesions are monooxygenation that results in diolepoxides (BPDE) and one-electron oxidation that yields a BP radical cation. These pathways result in formation of stable and depurinating DNA adducts, respectively. Most in vivo animal studies with BP, however, have employed dosage/DNA adduct levels several orders of magnitude higher than the DNA damage level expected from environmentally relevant exposures. Presented are results of experiments in which A/J strain mice were intraperitoneally exposed to 50-microg/g doses of BP. It is shown that non-line-narrowed fluorescence and fluorescence line-narrowing spectroscopies possess the selectivity and sensitivity to distinguish between helix-external, base-stacked, and intercalated conformations of DNA-BPDE adducts formed in lung tissue. Concentrations measured by 32P postlabeling 2 and 3 days after intraperitoneal injection were 420-430 and 600-830 amol BPDE-type adducts per microg DNA. The external and base-stacked conformations are attributed mainly to (+)-trans-anti-BPDE-N2dG and the intercalated conformations to (+)-cis-anti adducts. A stable adduct derived from 9-OH-BP-4,5-epoxide was also detected at a concentration about a factor of 10 lower than the above concentrations. The DNA supernatants were analyzed for the presence of depurinating BP-derived adducts by capillary electrophoresis laser-induced fluorescence and high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry.

Abstract
The 3,4-quinone of the estrogen-active compound bisphenol A (BPA), characterized by a single crystal X-ray structure determination, has been shown by (1)H NMR spectroscopy to react with herring testes DNA, and with deoxyguanosine (dG), in aqueous buffer at pH 7, to form a BPA 3,4-quinone-guanine-N7 adduct (BPAQ-N7-Gua). Presumably this adduct resulted from decomposition (by loss of deoxyribose) of an initially formed, but unstable, BPAQ-N7-dG adduct. Chemical synthesis if BPAQ-N7-Gua, in up to 60% yield, was achieved by the reaction of BPAQ and dG in aqueous acetic acid. Characterization of this product, by NMR spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectrometry, allowed the monitoring (by (1)H NMR spectroscopy) of the reaction of BPAQ with DNA and with dG. The relevance of this adduct formation to the potential mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of BPA will depend upon confirmation of the necessary metabolic oxidative transformation of BPA in vivo.

Abstract
Modification of nucleosides to give pharmaceutically active compounds, mutagenesis models, and oligonucleotide structural probes continues to be of great interest. The aqueous-phase modification of unprotected halonucleosides is reported herein. Using a catalyst derived from tris(3-sulfonatophenyl)phosphine (TPPTS) and palladium acetate, 8-bromo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-BrdG) is coupled with arylboronic acids to give 8-aryl-2'-deoxyguanosine adducts (8-ArdG) in excellent yield in a 2:1 water:acetonitrile solvent mixture. The TPPTS ligand was found to be superior to water-soluble alkylphosphines for this coupling reaction. The coupling chemistry has been extended to 8-bromo-2'-deoxyadenosine (8-BrdA) and 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (5-IdU), as well as the ribonucleosides 8-bromoguanosine and 8-bromoadenosine. Good to excellent yields of arylated adducts are obtained in all cases. With use of tri(4,6-dimethyl-3-sulfonatophenyl)phosphine (TXPTS), the Suzuki coupling of 8-BrdA and 5-IdU can be accomplished in less than 1 h at room temperature. This methodology represents an efficient and general method for halonucleoside arylation that does not require prior protection of the nucleoside.

Abstract
Single-electron oxidation of the carcinogenic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is thought to result in a radical cation intermediate and this species has been proposed to cause alkylation at the nitrogens of the purine nucleobases. Although several different nucleoside adducts have been isolated as arising from this mode of metabolic activation, there are no selective, total syntheses of the stable exocyclic amino group adducts formed by the single-electron oxidation of any hydrocarbon with the purine 2'-deoxynucleosides to date. In this paper we disclose the synthesis of the model adducts N(6)-(1-pyrenyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine and N(2)-(1-pyrenyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine as well as the first synthesis of the carcinogen-linked nucleoside derivatives N(6)-(6-benzo[a]pyrenyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine and N(2)-(6-benzo[a]pyrenyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine via a palladium-mediated C-N bond formation. Two different coupling strategies were attempted: coupling of an aryl bromide with a suitably protected nucleoside and the coupling of an arylamine with a suitable halonucleoside. The former had somewhat limited applicability in that only N(6)-(1-pyrenyl)-2'-deoxyadenosine was prepared by this method; on the other hand, the latter was more general. However, there are noteworthy differences in the amination reactions at the C-6 and C-2 positions. Reactions at the C-6 resulted in the competing formation of a 1:2 amine-nucleoside adduct in addition to the desired monoaryl nucleoside. Such a dimer formation was not observed at the C-2. The C-2 adducts, however, displayed an interesting conformational behavior.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are metabolized to electrophiles that can bind to DNA bases and destabilize the N-glycosyl bond, causing rapid depurination of the adducted bases. Recent studies support depurination of DNA as a mechanism central to the genesis of H-ras mutations in PAH-treated mouse skin. Depurinating adducts account for 71% of all DNA adducts formed in mouse skin treated with benzo[a]pyrene (BP). This study analyzed urine of cigarette smokers, coal smoke-exposed women, and nonexposed controls for the presence and quantities of the depurinated BP-adducted DNA bases, 7-(benzo[a]pyren-6-yl)guanine (BP-6-N7Gua) and 7-(benzo[a]pyren-6-yl)adenine (BP-6-N7Ade). Since these adducted bases originate from reaction of the BP radical cation with double-stranded DNA and not with RNA or denatured DNA, their presence in urine is indicative of DNA damage. Urine samples were fractionated by a combination of SepPak extraction and reverse-phase HPLC, and then analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry and capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence. BP-adducted bases were detected in the urine from three of seven cigarette smokers and three of seven women exposed to coal smoke, but were not detected in urine from the 13 control subjects. Concentrations were estimated to be 60-340 and 0.1-0.6 fmol/mg of creatinine equivalent of urine for coal smoke-exposed women (maximum possible BP intake of ca. 23 000 ng/day) and cigarette smokers (BP intake of ca. 800 ng/day), respectively, exhibiting a sensitive response to BP exposures. BP-6-N7Gua was present at ca. 20-300 times the concentration of BP-6-N7Ade in the urine of coal smoke-exposed women, but was not detected in the urine of cigarette smokers. This difference may be due to the remarkably different BP exposures experienced by the two groups of PAH-exposed individuals. These results justify more extensive studies of depurinated BP-adducted DNA bases as potential biomarkers of PAH-associated cancer risk.

Abstract
Activation of the moderate carcinogen 6-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (6-CH(3)BP) by one-electron oxidation to form DNA adducts was studied. Iodine oxidation of 6-CH(3)BP in the presence of dGuo produces BP-6-CH(2)-N(2)dGuo, BP-6-CH(2)-N7Gua and a mixture of 6-CH(3)BP-(1&3)-N7Gua, whereas in the presence of Ade the adducts BP-6-CH(2)-N1Ade, BP-6-CH(2)-N3Ade, BP-6-CH(2)-N7Ade and 6-CH(3)BP-(1&3)-N1Ade are obtained. Furthermore, for the first time an aromatic hydrocarbon radical cation afforded an adduct with dThd, the stable adduct BP-6-CH(2)-N3dThd. Formation of these adducts indicates that the 6-CH(3)BP radical cation has charge localized at the 6, 1 and 3 position. When 6-CH(3)BP was activated by horseradish peroxidase in the presence of DNA, two depurinating adducts were identified, BP-6-CH(2)-N7Gua (48%) and 6-CH(3)BP-(1&3)-N7Gua (23%), with 29% unidentified stable adducts. In the binding of 6-CH(3)BP catalyzed by rat liver microsomes, the same two depurinating adducts, BP-6-CH(2)-N7Gua (22%) and 6-CH(3)BP-(1&3)-N7Gua (10%), were identified, with 68% unidentified stable adducts. In 6-CH(3)BP-treated mouse skin, the two depurinating adducts, BP-6-CH(2)-N7Gua and 6-CH(3)BP-(1&3)-N7Gua, were identified. Although quantitation of these two adducts was not possible due to coelution of metabolites on HPLC, they appeared to be the major adducts found in mouse skin. These results show that 6-CH(3)BP forms depurinating adducts only with the guanine base of DNA, both in vitro and in mouse skin. The weaker reactivity of 6-CH(3)BP radical cation vs. BP radical cation could account for the weaker tumor-initiating activity of 6-CH(3)BP in comparison to that of BP.

Abstract
Because the radical cations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are involved in tumor initiation, determination of the structures of biologically formed PAH-DNA adducts is important and relies on comparison of their properties with those of synthesized adducts. One of the possible sites of adduct formation is the N-3 position of Ade, but this depurinating adduct is not obtained by one-electron oxidation of dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) in the presence of deoxyadenosine. Therefore, we turned to electrochemical oxidation of DB[a,l]P in the presence of Ade in dimethylformamide and produced the following adducts: DB[a,l]P-10-N1Ade (47%), DB[a, l]P-10-N3Ade (5%), DB[a,l]P-10-N7Ade (2%), and DB[a,l]P-10-N(6)Ade (6%). In Me(2)SO, this reaction afforded the same four adducts, but in slightly different yields: DB[a,l]P-10-N1Ade (44%), DB[a, l]P-10-N3Ade (9%), DB[a,l]P-10-N7Ade (1%), and DB[a,l]P-10-N(6)Ade (3%). These adducts were purified by reverse-phase HPLC, and the subtle differences between the isomers were revealed by NMR, tandem mass spectrometry, and fluorescence line-narrowing spectroscopy. The relative yields of the N1Ade, N3Ade, and N7Ade adducts reflect the nucleophilicity and steric accessibility of these three nitrogen atoms in Ade.

Abstract
Arylhydrazides, arylhydrazines, and N-alkyl-N-arylnitrosamines are metabolized to arenediazonium ions which yield C8-arylpurine adducts in calf thymus and cellular DNA. The mechanism of adduct formation has not been fully elucidated. C8-Arylguanine adducts likely form from direct aryl radical (Ar*) addition to the C8 position of guanine. However, the amounts of C8-aryladenine adducts measured here are inconsistent with direct radical attack at the C8 position of adenine. An intermediate product, an aryltriazene, is likely formed which then decomposes to the C8-aryladenine adduct. We have demonstrated that N1-aryl-N3-purinyltriazene adducts are formed from a variety of para-substituted arenediazonium ions with adenine. Decomposition of the N1-aryl-N3-purinyltriazene, at high pH and elevated temperatures, has been shown to give C8-aryladenine derivatives, and a free radical mechanism for this process has been proposed. Here we show that this process can occur under physiological conditions and that the C8-aryladenine adduct can be quantitated by HPLC. ESR studies, in which DMPO was used as a spin trap, have been used to demonstrate the intermediacy of aryl radicals during the decomposition of the N1-aryl-N3-purinyltriazenes and to demonstrate that this process also occurs in calf thymus (ct) DNA treated with arenediazonium ions. These results suggest the involvement of an aryl radical in the formation of the observed DNA adducts. Finally, we have found that the treatment of ct DNA with arenediazonium ions produces a significant amount of depurination. Both the formation of C8-arylguanine and C8-aryladenine adducts and the generation of apurinic sites may contribute to the genotoxicity of arylhydrazides, arylhydrazines, N-alkyl-N-arylnitrosamines, and arenediazonium ions.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental pollutants which may cause cancer and require metabolic activation to exert their carcinogenic effects. One pathway of activation involves the dihydrodiol dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of non-K region trans-dihydrodiols to yield catechols, which autoxidize to form reactive o-quinones. As a step toward identifying the spectrum of PAH o-quinone-DNA adducts that may form in biological systems, depurinating PAH o-quinone-guanine adducts were synthesized. Naphthalene-1,2-dione, phenanthrene-1,2-dione, and benzo[a]pyrene-7, 8-dione were reacted with 5 equiv of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) under acidic conditions (1:1 acetic acid/water). The products were purified by reversed-phase HPLC, characterized by a combination of UV spectroscopy, electrospray ionization/tandem mass spectrometry, and high-field proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and identified as 7-(naphthalene-1,2-dion-4-yl)guanine (MH+, m/z 308), 7-(phenanthrene-1,2-dion-4-yl)guanine (MH+, m/z 358), and 7-(benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-dion-10-yl)guanine (MH+, m/z 432), respectively. Reaction at N7 of dGuo leads to cleavage of the glycosidic bond, producing depurinating adducts. Reaction of phenanthrene-1,2-dione with calf thymus DNA led to the formation of the corresponding depurinating adduct. The loss of modified bases in DNA generates apurinic sites which, if unrepaired, can lead to mutations and thus cellular transformation. These synthesized PAH o-quinone-N7-guanine adducts can be used as standards to identify such adducts in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are widespread environmental contaminants, and some are potent carcinogens in rodents. Carcinogenic PAH are activated in cells to metabolites that react with DNA to form stable covalent DNA adducts. It has been proposed [Cavalieri, E. L. & Roger, E. G. (1995) Xenobiotica 25, 677-688] that unstable DNA adducts are also formed and that apurinic sites in the DNA resulting from unstable PAH adducts play a key role in the initiation of cancer. The potent carcinogen dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a, l]P) is activated in cells to (+)-syn- and (-)-anti-DB[a,l]P-11, 12-diol-13,14-epoxide (DB[a,l]PDE), which have been shown to form stable adducts with DNA. To evaluate the importance of unstable PAH adducts, we compared stable adduct formation to apurinic site formation. Stable DB[a,l]PDE adducts were determined by 33P-postlabeling and HPLC. To measure apurinic sites they were converted to strand breaks, and these were monitored by examining the integrity of a particular restriction fragment of the dihydrofolate reductase gene. The method easily detected apurinic sites resulting from methylation by treatment of cells or DNA with dimethyl sulfate or from reaction of DNA with DB[a,l]P in the presence of horseradish peroxidase. We estimate the method could detect 0.1 apurinic site in the 14-kb fragment examined. However, apurinic sites were below our limit of detection in DNA treated directly with (+)-syn- or (-)-anti-DB[a,l]PDE or in DNA from Chinese hamster ovary B11 cells so treated, although in these samples the frequency of stable adducts ranged from 3 to 10 per 14 kb. We also treated the human mammary carcinoma cell line MCF-7 with DB[a,l]P and again could not detect significant amounts of unstable adducts. These results indicate that the proportion of stable adducts formed by DB[a,l]P activated in cells and its diol epoxides is greater than 99% and suggest a predominant role for stable DNA adducts in the carcinogenic activity of DB[a,l]P.

Abstract
Many arylhydrazines are genotoxins, although the mechanism of their genotoxicity is unknown. Previous studies have shown that arylhydrazines are metabolized to arenediazonium ions, which produce C8-arylguanine adducts in DNA suggesting the intermediacy of an aryl radical. Here we have looked for the formation of aryl radicals from arylhydrazines and microsomes by ESR spin trapping. Only hydroxyl radicals are trapped upon incubation of p-methylphenylhydrazine with rat liver microsomes and 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO). However, hydroxyl and aryl radicals were trapped upon incubation of p-(methoxymethyl)phenylhydrazine with rat liver microsomes. Evidence for hydroperoxyl radical formation was also obtained. In contrast, when either of these substrates was incubated with microsomes from C5O cells, aryl and hydroxyl radicals were trapped. The ESR signal intensity of the spin-trapped aryl radicals parallels the extent of C8-arylguanine formation in DNA, and therefore, the aryl radical is likely the intermediate responsible for C8-arylguanine adduct formation. Aryl radicals and C8-arylguanine adducts may be related to the genotoxicity of arylhydrazines and related compounds that are oxidatively metabolized to arenediazonium ions, the precursor to aryl radicals, including arylalkyl nitrosamines, arylazo compounds, and triazenes.

Abstract
Both 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and benzo[a]pyrene (BP) are carcinogenic in the rat mammary gland. The depurinating and stable adducts of DMBA and BP formed in vitro and in mouse skin were previously identified and quantitated. Identification and quantitation of the depurinating and stable DNA adducts of DMBA and identification of the depurinating adducts of BP formed in rat mammary glands in the 24 h after intramammillary injection of DMBA or BP are reported in this paper. The depurinating adducts of DMBA, which constitute 52% of all adducts detected, are DMBA bound at the 12-methyl group to the N-7 of adenine (Ade) or guanine (Gua), namely, 7-methylbenz[a]anthracene (MBA)-12-CH2-N7Ade (39%) and 7-MBA-12-CH2-N7Gua (13%). All of the stable adducts were formed from the diol epoxide(s) of DMBA. Depurinating adducts of BP with guanine, namely, 8-(BP-6-yl)-guanine (BP-6-C8Gua) and BP-6-N7Gua, were identified in rat mammary glands treated with BP. The major stable adduct, formed via the diol epoxide pathway, BP-diol epoxide-10-N2dG, accounted for over 64% of all the stable adducts. Three other BP-DNA stable adducts remain unidentified. Thus, rat mammary cells form depurinating adducts of DMBA and BP predominantly via their radical cations and stable adducts via the diol epoxides.
