PG - 126530 LID - S0045-6535(20)30723-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.126530 [doi] AB - Aromatic amines are a class of chemical carcinogens that are activated by cytochrome P450 enzymes to form arylhydroxylamines that are conjugated to form N-acetoxyarylamines or N-sulfonyloxyarylamines. These conjugates undergo N-O bond cleavage to become reactive nitrenium ions that may form DNA adducts. Numerous studies in the past using N-acetoxyarylamines to investigate DNA adduct formation were conducted, however, less is known in regard to DNA adduct formation directly from arylhydroxylamines - especially under conditions that mimic the physiological conditions of cells such as weakly basic conditions. In this study, 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) was exposed to N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)hydroxylamine (2,6-DMPHA) and N-phenylhydroxylamine (PHA) at pH 7.4 without enzymes and analyzed by liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). 2,6-DMPHA exposure resulted in the production of relatively low amounts of adducts however the identities of at least six different adducts that were formed through reactions with carbon, nitrogen and oxygen of 2'-deoxyguanosine were proposed based upon different analytical approaches including HRMS CID fragmentation and NMR analyses. Contrastively, PHA exposure under identical conditions resulted in one adduct at the C8 position. It was concluded from these results and results of theoretical calculations that nitrenium ions produced from 2,6-DMPHA were relatively more stable resulting in longer nitrenium ion lifetimes which ultimately led to greater potential for 2,6-DMPHA nitrenium ions to react with multiple sites on dG.
