Oesch, Franz; Doerjer, Gerhard published an article in 1982, the title of the article was Detection of N2,3-ethenoguanine in DNA after treatment with chloroacetaldehyde in vitro.Electric Literature of 55662-66-3 And the article contains the following content:
The reaction of chloroacetaldehyde [107-20-0], a reactive metabolite of the carcinogen vinyl chloride, with DNA produces in addition to the hitherto known adducts, 1,N6-ethenoadenine [13875-63-3] and 3,N4-ethenocytosine [55662-66-3], an ethenoguanine adduct, namely N2,3-ethenoguanine (I) [62962-42-9]. This adduct is formed in the reaction of chloroacetaldehyde with the free base as well. After DNA hydrolysis followed by isolation of this new adduct by high-performance liquid chromatog., its mass spectrum and fluorescence spectrum are identical with those reported in the literature. The formation of only I out of several theor. possible reaction products allows the formulation of a reaction scheme. The absence of 7-(2-oxoethyl)guanine, another recently detected DNA adduct of vinyl chloride, in chloroacetaldehyde-treated DNA suggests its origin from the other reactive metabolite of vinyl chloride, chloroethylene oxide. The potential of I to lead to misincorporation of deoxythymidine monophosphate opposite to guanine and the high fluorescence of this adduct provide it with potentially high biol. significance and ease of anal. monitoring. The experimental process involved the reaction of Imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one(cas: 55662-66-3).Electric Literature of 55662-66-3
