DNA which has been exposed to 2-haloethylnitrosoureas has been shown to contain the chemical crosslink 1-(N3-deoxycytidyl), 2-(N1-deoxyguanosinyl)-ethane [W.P. Tong, M.C. Kirk and D.B. Ludlum,Cancer Res.43, 3102 (1982)]. We have hypothesized that this structure is formed by an initial attack of a 2-haloethyl group on the 6 position of guanine followed by an intramolecular rearrangement and secondary crosslinking reaction with cytosine. We have now shown that DNA which had been reacted withN-(2-fluoroethyl)-N′-cyclohexyl-N-nitrosourea containedO6-(2-fluoroethyl) guanine and have thus demonstrated that the first step in the proposed mechanism occurs. Furthermore,O6-(2-fluoroethyl)guanosine hydrolyzed toN1-(2-hydroxyethyl)guanosine, showing that the necessary intramolar rearrangement occurs. These two observations greatly strengthen the proposed route to DNA crosslinking by the 2-haloethylnitrosoureas.
