The clean crossed code: Two nitroimidazole-modified thymidines 1 a and 1 b were synthesized and incorporated into DNA oligomers. The 350 nm photolysis of 1 a and 1 b generated a 5-(2'-deoxyuridinyl)methyl radical that induced DNA interstrand cross-links (ICL; see scheme). A higher ICL yield was observed under hypoxic conditions than under aerobic conditions.
合成了两个硝基咪唑修饰的胸腺嘧啶 1a 和 1b,并将其掺入 DNA 寡核苷酸中。1a 和 1b 的 350nm 光解生成了 5-(2'-脱氧尿嘧啶基)甲基自由基,诱导 DNA 链间交联(ICL;见方案)。在缺氧条件下观察到比有氧条件下更高的 ICL 产率。
