Abstract

Various polyphenols and aminophenols were tested for reactivity with deoxyguanosine and DNA in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and ferric ion. Deoxyguanosine was efficiently hydroxylated at the C-8 position by these treatments. In the case of DNA, strand scission was observed in addition to the hydroxylation of guanine residues.
