The Cover Feature shows that 1-butene molecules can penetrate into a dense crystalline solid and drive the transformation of planar trinuclear fluorinated copper(I) pyrazolate complexes toward boat-shaped, dinuclear copper-butene adducts. chemistry these with is also examined in solution, comparison analogous adducts formed ethene propene provided.

We have used a combination of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) to achieve separation of 32P-postlabelled 7-methylguanine and 7-(2-hydroxyethyl)-guanine adducts. The level of these two adducts was determined in human total white blood cells (mean values 0.7 to 1.5 adducts per 10(7) normal nucleotides) and isolated lymphocytes (mean values 1.1 to 12 a...

The use of the antiestrogen tamoxifen (TAM) is associated with an increase in endometrial cancer. TAM-induced endometrial carcinogenesis may proceed through a genotoxin-mediated pathway, although the detection of endometrial TAM-DNA adducts in exposed women is still controversial. In this study, a monkey model has been used to investigate the question of TAM-DNA adduct formation in primates. Tw...

Styrene-specific N-7- and O6-guanine DNA adducts and N-terminal valine adducts were determined in mice tissues after the intraperitoneal administration of styrene. Blood, liver, lungs and spleen were collected 3 h after administration of various doses (from 0 to 4.35 mmol/kg b.w.) of styrene. DNA adducts were analysed by the modified 32P-postlabelling assay and N-terminal valine adducts were de...

Two different types of DNA adducts are formed from many aromatic amines by bioactivation: N-acetylated and nonacetylated, arylamine DNA adducts. It has become clear from experiments using N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene and 2-aminofluorene adducts to C8 of deoxyguanosine that these two types of adducts may have different effects on DNA structure and DNA replication. We have determined blocking of DNA ...

The adducts produced in the reaction between trialkyl phosphites and acetylenic esters were trapped by hydantoins to produce highly functionalized dialkyl 2-(2,5-dioxo-4,4-diphenylimidazolidin-1-yl) succinate in good yields.
