Photoproducts from DNA pyrimidine bases and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

چکیده
The major photoproduct formed between benzo[a]pyrene and thymine is identified as 1-(benzo[a]pyren-6-yl)-thymine by means of spectroscopic analysis and isotopic syntheses. Irradiation of 1-methylcytosine hydrochloride and anthracene gives two isolable photoproducts of which one is assigned the structure 5-(anthracen-9-yl)-1-methylcytosine.

MechanisMs of the dna repair in bacterial and yeast cells
Malfunctioning of some dna repair pathways predisposes to certain types of cancer. impaired base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, mismatch repair and recombination are implied in human tissues. these repair pathways are engaged very quickly in the cell when the external (chemical carcinogens) and internal (lipid peroxidation products) compounds react directly with dna. this reaction...
متن کاملThe Influence of Exocyclic Dna Adducts in Bacterial and Mammalian Genome Instability
Oxidative stress enhances lipid peroxidation (LPO) implicated in the promotion and progression of carcinogenesis. One of the major LPO products is trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), may to react with guanosine and under peroxidizing conditions also with adenosine. Additionally the same effect may induce environmental carcinogens, e.g. vinyl chloride and its metabolite chloroacetaldehyde (CAA). Th...
متن کاملPhotochemical Reaction of 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and Formation of DNA Covalent Adducts
DMBA, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, is a widely studied polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that has long been recognized as a probable human carcinogen. It has been found that DMBA is phototoxic in bacteria as well as in animal or human cells and photomutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA102. This article tempts to explain the photochemistry and photomutagenicity mechanism. Light irradia...
متن کاملBacterial diversity losses: A potential extracellular driving mechanism involving the molecular ecological function of hydrophobic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons☆
The DNA transformation is vital to the horizontal gene transfer (HGT). The low-efficiency transformation of bare plasmid exposed to hydrophobic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) decreases the gene transfer level, and is possibly related to the loss of bacterial diversity at present. PAHs have great affinity for bare DNA through dispersion force and π-π overlap between PAHs and bases. Thes...
متن کاملDetermination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Ambient Urban Air
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS) have been determined in the atmosphere of Isfahan, Iran. Airborne particulate matter was sampled using a high-volume air sampler at roof-top level (~6m). Extraction of PAHS from airborne particulate matter has been performed using SFE system and the relationship between the extraction temperature and the recovery of PAHS</su...
