DNA damage and 2'-deoxyguanosine oxidation induced by S(IV) autoxidation catalyzed by copper(II) tetraglycine complexes: synergistic effect of a second metal ion.

AbstractS(IV) (SO(2),HSO(3)(-)andSO(3)(2-)) autoxidation catalyzed by Cu(II)/tetraglycine complexes in the presence of DNA or 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) resulted in DNA strand breaks and formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo), respectively. Ni(II), Co(II) or Mn(II) (1.0x10(-4)M) complexes had much smaller effects. Cu(II)/tetraglycine (1.0x10(-4)M) in the presence of Ni(II) or Mn(II) (10(-7)-10(-6)M) and S(IV) showed remarkable synergistic effect with these metal ions producing a higher yield of 8-oxodGuo. Oxidation of dGuo and DNA damage were attributed to oxysulfur radicals formed as intermediates in S(IV) autoxidation catalyzed by transition metal ions. SO*(3)(-) and HO* radicals were detected by EPR-spin trapping experiments with DMPO (5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide).
