Trapping Labile Adducts Formed Between an ortho-Quinone Methide and DNA
(2012)
Exogenously generated electrophiles are capable of alkylating DNA. If not repaired, the resulting DNA adducts can lead to mutations and either cancer or cell death. Electrophilic ortho-quinone methides (o-QM) are reactive ...
DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF AN ELECTRON RICH QUINONE METHIDE PRECURSOR FOR SEQUENCE -DIRECTED ALKYLATION OF DNA
(2012)
Quinone methides (QM) can be delivered to alklyate specific sites with a single strand DNA through target promoted alkylation. Previous experimental results indicated that alkylation by DNA-QM self-adduct was too slow for ...
