    Abstract:
    Eight deoxyribonucleoside adducts formed from reactions of syn-5-methylchrysene 1,2-dihydrodiol 3,4-epoxide with DNA or with nucleotides were characterized spectroscopically. The adducts arose from both cis and trans opening of the epoxide ring at C4 by the amino group of either deoxyadenosine or deoxyguanosine residues. NMR data indicated that the partially saturated 1,2,3,4-ring of the hydrocarbon residue adopted a boatlike conformation, with the purine residue being disposed pseudoaxially in all adducts. The cis and trans assignments for epoxide ring opening were readily made from coupling constants. Quantitatively, cis adducts predominated over trans adducts in both DNA and nucleotide reactions. Whereas deoxyadenylic acid appeared to trap this dihydrodiol epoxide more efficiently than deoxyguanylic acid, reaction with DNA led to more extensive reaction with deoxyguanosine than with deoxyadenosine residues.
