title: DNA adducts from carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic enantiomers of benzo[a]pyrene dihydrodiol epoxide.
abstract: The characterization of eight benzo[a]pyrene-deoxyribonucleoside adducts derived from reaction of the anti-dihydrodiol epoxide and deoxyguanylic and deoxyadenylic acids is described. It is reported that the epoxide ring is opened by the purine amino groups to yield similar amounts of both cis and trans products. NMR data show that the 7- and 8-hydroxyl groups are pseudodiaxial in the cis products and pseudodiequatorial in the trans products, and we suggest that these products arise from reaction with the diaxial and diequatorial conformers of the dihydrodiol epoxides, respectively. The chiral nature of the interactions of these metabolites with DNA restricts the range of products formed with this macromolecule, and a trans product with deoxyguanosine is the major product formed with either enantiomer of the anti-dihydrodiol epoxide.
