8-Oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2′ deoxyguanosine (pKa1) 8.6, pKa2) 11.7), 3 frequently called 8-hydroxy-2′ deoxyguanosine (≡ 8-O-HdG), is probably the most important and best-documented product of “oxidative stress” 4-7 in biological systems. Its concentration in the cellular DNA is, in fact, a quantitative measure of the degree of damage that an organism has undergone. 8-12 Unless 8-OHdG is built by nature into DNA on purpose, it is the product of oxidative decomposition of 2′ deoxyguanosine (dG). A large number of oxidants/oxidizing environments leading from dG to its 8-hydroxy derivative have been identified, some of the more important ones being singlet oxygen, 13, 14 the OH radical (produced by ionizing radiation or transition metal catalyzed decomposition of hydroperoxides), 15, 16 and photo-oxidation17 (which is believed18-21 to proceed via the guanosine radical cation).8-OHdG is a mutagenic lesion involved in carcinogenesis and aging, 8, 22 but as such it does not lead to DNA strand breakage. However, it is much more easily oxidized than its natural “parent”, dG, 14, 21, 23-26 and its oxidation product is a candidate for (piperidine-induced) strand breakage. 27-29 In view of this pronounced sensitivity, it is necessary to fully understand the radical chemistry
