Abstract: | The alkylating properties of pairs of syn- and anti-isomers of 2 diol-epoxides derived from benzo(a)pyrene (BP) and of 1 derived from benz(a)anthracene (BA) have been investigated. Of the anti-diol-epoxides, anti-BP 7,8-diol-9,10-oxide was the most reactive compound towards DNA, towards sodium p-nitrothiophenolate in a non-aqueous solvent system, and towards 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine in aqueous solution; anti-BP 9,10,-diol-7,8-oxide was of intermediate reactivity and anti-BA 8,9-diol-10,11-oxide was least reactive. The syn-diol-epoxides gave unsatisfactory results with DNA and 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine because of their rapid solvolysis in aqueous solution, but with sodium p-nitrothiophenolate showed the order of reactivity syn-BP 7,8-diol-9,10-oxide greater than syn-BA 8,9-diol-10,11-oxide greater than syn-BP 9,10-diol-7,8-oxide. The products of the reaction between diol-epoxides and nucleic acids were examined by Sephadex LH-20 chromatography followed by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the diol-epoxides were shown to react principally with the guanosine and adenosine moieties of RNA. |
