Abstract

The reaction of acetaldehyde with deoxynucleosides was studied in buffered solutions at room temperature (22–24°C) and neutral pH. Reaction products were obtained with all deoxynucleosides with the exception of thymidine, as shown by reversed-phase HPLC analysis. The order of reactivity was dGuo>dAdo>dCyd, for which three, two and one reaction products, respectively, were obtained. We report here data on the kinetics of the reactions, the stability of the adducts at physiolgical pH, product yields, UV-spectroscopic data at different pH values, and describe the synthesis, isolation and structural characterization by FAB/MS and NMR of the stable adducts of acetaldehyde with dGuo. Furthermore, the formation of adducts with dGuo by the cooperative reaction of Aa with ethanol was studied.

    Imines can be irreversibly converted to the corresponding alkylamine adduct by hydride (H:–) reducing agents, such as sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN), sodium borohydride, or sodium triacetoxyborane (Scheme 2B) [157,166–173]. Biological agents such as glutathione, NAD(P)H, and ascorbate also have the potential to reduce some nucleobase-imine adducts [174–176]. Imines derived from enolizable aldehydes also have the potential to generate enamines [177].

    Several aldehydes, including acetaldehyde and malondialdehyde (MDA), can also react with DNA or protein together to generate hybrid adducts, yielding a product such as a MDA-acetaldehyde (MAA) adduct [16]. Aldehydes form DNA adducts preferentially at the deoxyguanosine amino group and less frequently at deoxyadenosine and deoxycytidine amino groups [76]. By causing DNA damage, aldehyde-induced DNA adducts can promote carcinogenesis through transversion.
