摘要
[GRAPHICS] The photolysis of pyridone 3b (photo-Fenton reagent) in benzene releases tent-butoxyl radicals, which have been trapped by DMPO and EPR-spectrally identified. In, aqueous solution, however, the fragmentation of the tent-butoxyl into methyl radicals prevails and the former radicals are of no direct consequence in the photooxidation of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) and pBR 322 DNA. The photooxidative damage of nucleic acids is caused by the oxyl radical species generated from the methyl radicals with oxygen.
