5-Bromo-2'-deoxycytidine-a potential DNA photosensitizer.
Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry 2016 October 5
A double-stranded oligonucleotide, 80 base pairs in length, was multiply labeled with 5-bromo-2'-deoxycytidine (BrdC) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The modified oligonucleotide was irradiated with 300 nm photons and its damage was assayed by employing DHPLC, LC-MS and denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Two types of damage were demonstrated, namely, single strand breaks (SSBs) and intrastrand cross-links (ICLs); the ICLs were in the form of d(G^C) and d(C^C) dimers. The former species are probably formed due to photoinduced electron transfer between the photoexcited BrdC and the ground state 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG), whereas the latter is a result of a cycloaddition reaction. Since SSBs and ICLs are potentially lethal to the cell, BrdC could be considered as a nucleoside with possible clinical applications.
