The physical and chemical reaction pathways of the [carcinogen] metabolite model compound benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE) in aqueous (double-stranded) DNA solutions was investigated as a function of temperature (0.degree.-30.degree. C), pH (7.0-9.5), NaCl concentration (0-1.5M) and DNA concentration to clarify the relationships between the multiple reaction mechanisms of this diol epoxide in the presence of nucleic acids. The reaction pathways are: noncovalent intercalative complex formation with DNA, characterized by the equilibrium constant K, and Xb the fraction of molecules physically bound; accelerated hydrolysis of BPDE bound to DNA; covalent binding to DNA; and hydrolysis of free BPDE (kh). The DNA-induced hydrolysis of BPDE to tetraols and the covalent binding to DNA are parallel pseudeo-1st-order reactions. Following the rapid (ms time scale) noncovalent complex formation between BPDE and DNA, a much slower (.apprx. min) H+-dependent (either specific or general acid catalysis ) formation of a DNA-bound triol carbonium ion (rate constant k3) occurs. At pH 7.0 the activation energy of k3 is 8.7 .+-. 0.9 kcal/mol, which is lower than the activation energy of hydrolysis of free BPDE in buffer solution (14.2 .+-. 0.7 kcal/mol), and which thus partially accounts for the acceleration of hydrolysis of BPDE upon complexation with DNA. The formation of the triol carbonium ion is followed by a rapid reaction with either water to form tetraols (rate constant kT), or covalent bindings to DNA (kc). The fraction of BPDE molecules which undergo covalent binding is fcov .apprxeq. kc/(kc + kT) = 0.10 and is independent of the overall BPDE reaction rate constant k = kh(1-Xb)+k3Xb if Xb .fwdarw. 1.0, or is independent of Xb as long as k3Xb .mchgt. kh(1-Xb). At Xb = 0.9, fcov is independent of pH (7.0-9.5) even though k exhibits a 70-fold variation in this pH range and k .fwdarw. kh above pH 9 (k3 = kh). Similarly, fcov is independent of temperature (0.degree.-30.degree. C), while k varies by a factor of .apprx. 3. In the range of 0-1.5 M NaCl, fcov decreases from 0.10-0.04. These variations are attributed to a combination of salt-induced variations in the factors k3, Xb and the ratio kc/kT.
