Toxins, 2022 Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) have been found in over 6000 plants worldwide and represent the most common hepatotoxic phytotoxins. Catalyzed by hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes, PAs are metabolized into reactive pyrrolic metabolites, which can alkylate ...

A Comprehensive Database for DNA Adductomics
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022 The exposure of human DNA to genotoxic compounds induces the formation of covalent DNA adducts, which may contribute to the initiation of carcinogenesis.

Identification of New Markers of Alcohol-Derived DNA Damage in Humans
Biomolecules, 2021 Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for the development of several cancers, including those of the head and neck and the esophagus. The underlying mechanisms of alcohol-induced carcinogenesis remain unclear; however, at these sites, alcohol-derived ...

Urine Biomarkers of Risk in the Molecular Etiology of Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer: Basic and Clinical Research, 2009 Endogenous estrogens can be bio-activated to endogenous carcinogens via formation of estrogen quinones. Estrogen-3,4-quinones react with DNA to form mutagenic depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts.

Flanking bases influence the nature of DNA distortion by platinum 1,2-intrastrand (GG) cross-links. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The differences in efficacy and molecular mechanisms of platinum anti-cancer drugs cisplatin (CP) and oxaliplatin (OX) are thought to be partially due to the differences in the DNA conformations of the CP and OX adducts that form on adjacent guanines on ...

Sperm DNA adducts impair fertilization during ICSI but not during IVF.
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2008 Many studies emphasize the influence of the status of spermatozoal nucleus on fertilization, mainly with regard to DNA fragmentation. This study was undertaken to analyze the influence of DNA adducts content in spermatozoa on fertilization during ...

Targeted High Resolution LC/MS3 Adductomics Method for the Characterization of Endogenous DNA Damage
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2019 DNA can be damaged through covalent modifications of the nucleobases by endogenous processes. These modifications, commonly referred to as DNA adducts, can persist and may lead to mutations, and ultimately to the initiation of cancer.

Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group A Suppresses Mutagenesis Caused by Clustered Oxidative DNA Adducts in the Human Genome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Clustered DNA damage is defined as multiple sites of DNA damage within one or two helical turns of the duplex DNA. This complex damage is often formed by exposure of the genome to ionizing radiation and is difficult to repair. The mutagenic potential and

Ochratoxin A: In Utero Exposure in Mice Induces Adducts in Testicular DNA
Toxins, 2010 Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a nephrotoxin and carcinogen that is associated with Balkan endemic nephropathy and urinary tract tumors. OTA crosses the placenta and causes adducts in the liver and kidney DNA of newborns.
