Abstract
This review describes the synthesis and evaluation of novel nucleic acid derivatives performed by our research group to date. We developed a new method for the synthesis of 2-alkoxyadenosine analogs via nonaqueous diazotization-dediazoniation reactions. By applying these reactions, we effectively synthesized four types of carbocyclic oxetanocin analogs (2-alkoxy-C.OXT-A). The angiogenic activities of these compounds were evaluated using human umbilical vein endothelial cells. This resulted in increased activities of the analogs, especially of 2-methoxy-C.OXT-A and 2-isopropoxy-C.OXT-A, at a concentration of 100 μM; they showed angiogenic potency similar to or greater than that of vascular endothelial growth factor. We also synthesized and evaluated a novel series of uracil derivatives carrying a 3,5-dimethylbenzyl group at the N(3)-position and acting as non-nucleoside HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Some of these compounds showed good-to-moderate inhibitory activity, with EC₅₀ values in the submicromolar range. Among them, the analog 6-amino-1-(4-picolyl)-uracil showed significant HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibition, with an EC₅₀ value of 0.03 μM and a high selectivity index of 2863.

Abstract
Uracil has long been known as the main product of nitrosative cytosine deamination in aqueous solution. Recent mechanistic studies of cytosinediazonium ion suggest that the cation formed by its dediazoniation can ring-open to N-protonated (Z,s-cis)-3-isocyanatoacrylonitrile 7. Stereochemical preferences are discussed of the 3-isocyanatoacrylonitriles (Z,s-cis)-10, (E,s-cis)-11, (Z,s-trans)-12, and (E,s-trans)-13. The electronic structures of 7 and 10-13 have been analyzed and a rationale is provided for the thermodynamic preference for (Z,s-cis)-10. It is shown that s-cis/s-trans-interconversion occurs via C-N rotation-inversion paths with barriers below 3 kcal mol(-1). The proton affinities of 3-isocyanatoacrylonitrile 10 and water are nearly identical and, thus, 3-isocyanatoacrylonitriles can and should be formed in aqueous media from 7 along with 3-aminoacrylonitriles 9. The results highlight the relevance of the chemistry of 3-isocyanatoacrylonitriles for the understanding of the chemical toxicology of nitrosation of the nucleobase cytosine.

Abstract
A discussion of nitrosative deamination of cytosine 1 is presented that argues for the formation of 6 by diazotization of 1 to cytosinediazonium ion 2 and its electrostatic complex 3, dediazoniation to 4 <--> 5, and amide-bond cleavage to 6. The reaction channels available to 6 include hydrolytic deglycation to 3-isocyanatoacrylonitrile 7, water addition to carbamic acid 9 with the possibility for re-closure to uracil 13, water addition to carbamic acid 9, and decarboxylation to 3-aminoacrylonitrile 10. With a view to the instability of the carbamic acid 9, the carbamate models ethyl (Z)-2-cyanovinylcarbamate 14 and (Z)-2-cyano-1-tert-butylvinylcarbamate 20 were studied. Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of 14 leads to 2-amino-carbonylphenylcarbamate 15, and its cyclization yields the benzo-fused uracil quinazoline-2,4-dione 16. In contrast to the aromatic system 14, acid-catalyzed cyclization cannot compete with oligomerization in the case of 20, and 5-tert-butyluracil 22 is accessible only with base-catalysis. It is shown that 23, the parent of 10, also easily polymerizes. The experimental results provide a rationale as to why 9, 10, and 12 would have escaped detection in in vitro studies: they would have oligomerized. In contrast to the in vitro experiments, the oligomerizations of 9, 10, or 12 clearly are not relevant in vivo because of low monomer concentrations. With the exclusion of recyclization and of oligomerization in vivo, attention thus needs to focus on (Z)-3-aminoacrylonitrile 10 as the most likely deamination product of cytosine aside from uracil.

Abstract
Effects are discussed of the anisotropic DNA environment on nitrosative guanine deamination based on results of an ab initio study of the aggregate 3 formed by guaninediazonium ion 1 and cytosine 2. Within 3, the protonation of 2 by 1 is fast and exothermic and forms 6, an aggregate between betaine 4 (2-diazonium-9H-purin-6-olate) and cytosinium ion 5. Electronic structure analysis of 4 shows that this betaine is not mesoionic; only the negative charge is delocalized in the pi-system while the positive charge resides in the sigma-system. Potential energy surface exploration shows that both dediazoniation and ring-opening of betaine 4 in aggregate 6 are fast and exothermic and lead irreversibly to E-11, the aggregate between (E)-5-cyanoimino-4-oxomethylene-4,5-dihydroimidazole E-10 and 5. The computed pair binding energies for 3, 6, and E-11 greatly exceed the GC pair binding energy. While 1 can be a highly reactive intermediate in reactions of the "free nucleobase" (or its nucleoside and nucleotide), the cyanoimine 10 emerges as the key intermediate in nitrosative guanine deamination in ds-DNA and ds-oligonucleotides. In essence, the complementary nucleobase cytosine provides base catalysis and switches the sequence of deprotonation and dediazoniation. It is argued that this environment-induced switch causes entirely different reaction paths to products as compared to the respective "free nucleobase" chemistry, and the complete consistency is demonstrated of this mechanistic model with all known experimental results. Products might form directly from 10 by addition and ring closure, or their formation might involve water catalysis via 5-cyanoamino-4-imidazolecarboxylic acid 12 and/or 5-carbodiimidyl-4-imidazolecarboxylic acid 13. The pyrimidine ring-opened intermediates 10, 12, and 13 can account for the formations of xanthosine, the pH dependency and the environment dependency of oxanosine formation, the formation of the classical cross-link dG(N(2)())-to-dG(C2), including the known sequence specificity of its formation, and the formation of the structure-isomeric cross-link dG(N1)-to-dG(C2).

Abstract
It has been suggested that carcinogenesis associated with chronic inflammation involves DNA damage by nitric oxide (NO) and other reactive species secreted from macrophages and neutrophils. The guanine moiety of DNA reacts with NO, yielding two major deamination products: xanthine (Xan) and oxanine (Oxa). Oxa reacts further with polyamines and DNA binding proteins to form cross-link adducts. In the present study, we characterized the structure of the cross-link adducts of Oxa with spermine (Oxa-Sp). Spectrometric analysis of Oxa-Sp adducts showed that they are ring-opened adducts of Oxa covalently bonded to the terminal amino (major product) and internal imino (minor product) groups of spermine. To assess genotoxic potential, Xan, Oxa, Oxa-Sp and an abasic (AP) site were site specifically incorporated into oligonucleotide templates. These lesions differentially blocked in vitro DNA synthesis catalyzed by DNA polymerase I Klenow fragment (Pol I Kf). The relative efficiency of translesion synthesis was G (1) > Oxa (0.19) > Xan (0.12) > AP (0.088) > Oxa-Sp (0.035). Primer extension assays with a single nucleotide and Pol I Kf revealed that non-mutagenic dCMP was inserted most efficiently opposite Xan and Oxa, with the extent of primer elongation being 65% for Xan and 68% for Oxa. However, mutagenic nucleotides were also inserted. The extent of primer elongation for Xan was 16% with dTMP and 14% with dGMP, whereas that for Oxa was 49% with dTMP. For Oxa-Sp, mutagenic dAMP (13%) was preferentially inserted. Accordingly, when generated in vivo, Xan and Oxa would constitute moderate blocks to DNA synthesis and primarily elicit G:C to A:T transitions when bypassed, whereas Oxa-Sp would strongly block DNA synthesis and elicit G:C to T:A transversions.

Abstract
The cross-link dG-to-dG is an important product of DNA nitrosation. Its formation has commonly been attributed to nucleophilic substitution of N2 in a guaninediazonium ion by guanine, while recent studies suggest guanine addition to a cyanoamine derivative formed after dediazoniation, deprotonation, and pyrimidine ring-opening. The chemical viability of the latter mechanism is supported here by the experimental demonstration of rG-to-aG formation via rG addition to a synthetic cyanoamine derivative. Thus, all known products of nitrosative guanine deamination are consistent with the postulate of pyrimidine ring-opening. This postulated mechanism not only explains what is already known but also suggests that other products and other cross-links also might be formed in DNA deamination. The study suggests one possible new product: the structure isomer aG(N1)-to-rG(C2) of the classical G(N2)-to-G(C2) cross-link. While the formation of aG(N2)-to-rG(C2) has been established by chemical synthesis, the structure isomer aG(N1)-to-rG(C2) has been assigned tentatively based on its MS/MS spectrum and because this assignment is reasonable from a mechanistic perspective. Density functional calculations show preferences for the amide-iminol tautomer of the classical cross-link G(N2)-to-G(C2) and the amide-amide tautomer of G(N1)-to-G(C2). Moreover, the results suggest that both cross-links are of comparable thermodynamic stability, and that there are no a priori energetic or structural reasons that would prevent the formation of the structure isomer in the model reaction or in DNA.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) induces deamination of guanine, yielding xanthine and oxanine (Oxa). Furthermore, Oxa reacts with polyamines and DNA binding proteins to form cross-link adducts. Thus, it is of interest how these lesions are processed by DNA repair enzymes in view of the genotoxic mechanism of NO. In the present study, we have examined the repair capacity for Oxa and Oxa–spermine cross-link adducts (Oxa–Sp) of enzymes involved in base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) to delineate the repair mechanism of nitrosative damage to guanine. Oligonucleotide substrates containing Oxa and Oxa–Sp were incubated with purified BER and NER enzymes or cell-free extracts (CFEs), and the damage-excising or DNA-incising activity was compared with that for control (physiological) substrates. The Oxa-excising activities of Escherichia coli and human DNA glycosylases and HeLa CFEs were 0.2–9% relative to control substrates, implying poor processing of Oxa by BER. In contrast, DNA containing Oxa–Sp was incised efficiently by UvrABC nuclease and SOS-induced E.coli CFEs, suggesting a role of NER in ameliorating genotoxic effects associated with nitrosative stress. Analyses of the activity of CFEs from NER-proficient and NER-deficient human cells on Oxa–Sp DNA confirmed further the involvement of NER in the repair of nitrosative DNA damage.

Abstract
The nitrosative deaminations (37 degrees C, NaNO2, NaAc buffer, pH 3.7) of guanosine 1r in (18O)water (97.6%) and of [6-18O]-1r in normal water were studied. [6-(18)O]-1r was prepared from 2-amino-6-chloropurine riboside using adenosine deaminase. The reaction products xanthosine 3r and oxanosine 4r were separated by HPLC and characterized by LC/MS analysis and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The 18O-isotopic shifts on the 13C NMR signals were measured and allowed the identification of all isotopomers formed. The results show that oxanosine is formed via 5-cyanoimino-4-oxomethylene-4,5-dihydroimidazole, 5, and its 1,4-addition product 5-cyanoamino-4-imidazolecarboxylic acid, 6. This hydration of 5 to 6 leads to aromatization and greatly dominates over water addition to the cyanoimino group of 5 to form 5-guanidinyliden-4-oxomethylene-4,5-dihydroimidazole, 7. 5-Guanidinyl-4-imidazolecarboxylic acid, 8, the product of water addition to 6, is not involved.
