Nitroarom. compounds represent a major class of industrial chems. that are also found in nature. Polycyclic derivatives are regarded as potent mutagens and carcinogens following bioactivation to produce nitrenium electrophiles that covalently modify DNA to afford N-linked C8-2′-deoxyguanosine (C8-dG) lesions that can induce frameshift mutations, especially in CpG repeat sequences. In contrast, their monocyclic counterparts typically exhibit weak mutagenicity or a lack thereof, despite also undergoing bioactivation to afford N-linked C8-dG adducts. Recently, it has been reported that cyano substitution can greatly increase the mutagenicity of nitroaniline derivatives that are components of azo dyes. The basis of this “”cyano effect”” may be rooted in the formation of a novel polycyclic adduct arising from initial formation of the N-linked C8-dG adduct followed by a cyclization process involving N7 of dG and the ortho-CN group of the attached C8-aryl moiety to generate a quinazolinimine ring as part of a fused tetracyclic C8,N7-dG adduct structure. The present work structurally characterizes this novel cyclic adduct using a combination of optical spectroscopies, NMR anal., d. functional theory (DFT) calculations, and mol. dynamics (MD) simulations. Our data indicate that this highly fluorescent cyclic adduct adopts the promutagenic syn conformation and can stabilize the slipped mutagenic intermediate (SMI) within the CpG repeat of the NarI sequence, which is a hotspot for frameshift mutagenesis mediated by polycyclic N-linked C8-dG adducts. In contrast, the open para-CN (4-aminobenzontrile-derived) N-linked C8-dG adduct is less likely to disrupt the canonical B-form. Together, our results provide a rationale for the potent mutagenicity of cyano-substituted nitroaniline derivatives recently reported in frameshift-sensitive tester strains.
