1,4-Dibromobenzene (1,4-DBB) was covalently bound to DNA from liver, kidney, lung and stomach of mice after intraperitoneal administration. The covalent binding index (CBI) value (23 in mouse liver) was typical of weak initiators. On the contrary, no interaction with DNA from rat organs was observed (CBI detection limit: 1.3-2.6). The in vitro interaction of 1,4-DBB with calf thymus DNA was mediated mainly by microsomes, especially those from liver of both species and from mouse lung. Mouse subcellular fractions were more active then rat subcellular fractions. Unlike liver cytosol, subcellular cytosolic fractions from lung, kidney and stomach were capable of bioactivating 1,4-DBB, although to a lesser extent than liver microsomes. Both cytochrome P-450 and GSH-transferases are involved in 1,4-DBB bioactivation.

D001969 Bromobenzenes Derivatives of benzene in which one or more hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring are replaced by bromine atoms.
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
