The reaction pathway of alkylating agents is often exploited in the design of bifunctional anti‐cancer drugs. These drugs form mono‐DNA adducts as well as inter‐ and intra‐strand cross‐linked adducts, notably by reaction at DNA bases, including theN‐7‐position of guanine (G). A positive‐ion fast‐atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrum of anin vitropreparation of DNA alkylated with phosphoramide mustard (the active metabolite of the anti‐cancer drug cyclophosphamide) indicated the presence of the two mono‐DNA adductsN‐(2‐chloroethyl)‐N‐[2‐(7‐guaninyl)ethyl] amine, designated NORG, andN‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐N‐[2‐(7‐guaninyl)ethyl] amine, designated NORGOH, (MH+257/259 and 239, respectively) but not the presence of the cross‐linked adductN,N‐bis‐[2‐(7‐guaninyl)ethyl] amine, designated GNORG (MH+372). Using synthetic standards, daughterion spectra of NORG, NORGOH and GNORG were obtained (matrix 0.2 Mp‐toluene sulphonic acid in glycerol) by positive‐ion FAB tandem mass spectrometry (FAB‐MS/MS). The daughter‐ion spectra of both mono‐DNA adducts NORG and NORGOH contained a fragment ion atm/z152 [G + H]+, whereas the cross‐linked adduct, GNORG, showed an ion atm/z221, [MH − G]+. Evidence for the presence of NORG, NORGOH and GNORG in thein vitropreparation was obtained by performing a double parent‐ion scan onm/z152 and 221. The presence of GNORG was further supported by performing a single parent‐ion scan onm/z221. The use of this MS/MS technique should eliminate the need for intricate sample purification in the identification of GNORG in biological extracts.
