8-Bromoadenine nucleotides were tested as potential substrates and/or inhibitors of mitochondrial processes in intact or disrupted organelles, as substrates of various phosphotransferases, and as allosteric effectors in the reactions catalyzed by phosphofructokinase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. 8-BrATP and 8-BrADP are not recognized by the translocase system located in the inner mitochondrial membrane and cannot be used as usbstrates in oxidative phosphorylation and related reactions catalyzed be beef heart submitochondrial membranes. This confirms the high specificity for adenine nucleotides of the mammalian systems involved in energy-yielding and energy-requiring reactions. However, 8-BrATP and 8-BrADP are able to substitute for the natural adenine nucleotides in reactions catalyzed by many phosphotransferases, although their capacity as phosphate donors and acceptors is generally much reduced. On the other hand, in almost all investigated cases, the 8-bromoadenine nucleotides have lost the capability of the natural adenine nucleotides to act as allosteric effectors, indicating that the structural requirements for allosteric activity are more stringent than those for catalytic activity.

Radiation therapy is a basic part of cancer treatment. To increase the DNA damage in carcinogenic cells and preserve healthy tissue at the same time, radiosensitizing molecules such as halogenated nucleobase analogs can be incorporated into the DNA during the cell reproduction cycle. In the present study 8.

The phosphodiester bond cleavage in 8-bromo-2'-deoxyadenosine 3',5'-diphosphate (BrdADP), as a model of electron induced single strand break (SSB) in labeled DNA, was investigated at the B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level of theory both in the gas phase and in water solution. Barrier-free and highly exergonic, especially in water solution (-2.83 eV), release of the bromide anion due to electron attachment confirms radiosensitizing properties of 8-bromoadenine.

The replacement of nucleobases with brominated analogs enhances DNA radiosensitivity. We examine the chemistry of low-energy electrons (LEEs) in this sensitization process by experiments with thin films of the oligonucleotide trimers TBrXT, where BrX = 5-BrU (5-bromouracil), 5-BrC (5-bromocytosine), 8-BrA (8-bromoadenine), or 8-BrG (8-bromoguanine). The products induced from irradiation of thin (∼ 2.

Background: Polymorphic thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is a major determinant of thiopurine toxicity.
Methods: We extracted 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGNs) and 6-methylmercaptopurine nucleotides (6-MMPNs) from erythrocytes with perchloric acid and converted them to 6-thioguanine (6-TG) and a 6-methylmercaptopurine (6-MMP) derivative during a 60-min acid hydrolysis step. The liquid chromatography system consisted of a C(18) column with an ammonium acetate-formic acid-acetonitrile buffer.
