RESUMO

The major initial product of riboflavin- and methylene blue-mediated photosensitization of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) in oxygen-saturated aqueous solution has previously been identified as 2-amino-5-[(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)amino] 4H-imidazol-4-one (dlz). At room temperature in aqueous solution dlz decomposes quantitatively to 2,2-diamino-4-[(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro- pentofuranosyl)amino]-5(2H)-oxazolone (dZ). The data presented here show that the same guanine photooxidation products are generated following riboflavin- and methylene blue-mediated photosensitization of thymidylyl-(3',5')-2'-deoxyguanosine [d(TpG)]. As observed for the monomers, the initial product, thymidylyl-(3',5')-2-amino-5-[(2-deoxy- beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)amino]-4H-imidazol-4-one [d(Tplz)], decomposes in aqueous solution at room temperature to thymidylyl-(3',5')-2,2-diamino-4- [(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)amino]-5(2H)-oxazolone [d(TpZ)]. Both modified dinucleoside monophosphates have been isolated by HPLC and characterized by proton NMR spectrometry, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, chemical analyses and enzymatic digestions. Among the chemical and enzymatic properties of these modified dinucleoside monophosphates are: (i) d(Tplz) and d(TpZ) are alkali-labile; (ii) d(Tplz) reacts with methoxyamine, while d(TpZ) is unreactive; (iii) d(Tplz) is digested by snake venom phosphodiesterase, while d(TpZ) is unaffected; (iv) relative to d(TpG), d(TpZ) and d(Tplz) are slowly digested by spleen phosphodiesterase; (v) d(Tplz) and d(TpZ) can be 5'-phosphorylated by T4 polynucleotide kinase. The first observation suggests that dlz and dZ may be responsible for some of the strand breaks detected following hot piperidine treatment of DNA exposed to photosensitizers.
