Abstract
Detection of DNA adducts can serve as a basis for genotoxicty screening of new chemicals and drugs. We report here a simple, sensitive procedure for this purpose using films containing DNA and a biocatalyst to mimic the metabolic action of human liver cytochrome P450s. DNA adducts formed from an in-situ-generated toxic metabolite (styrene oxide) were detected at subpicomole levels after neutral thermal hydrolysis of the DNA films and analysis with capillary liquid chromatography with on-line column preconcentration and MS/MS detection. An on-line column switching system allowed for increased sample loading volume and analyte preconcentration. This approach provides an estimate of the relative rate of DNA damage.
