The endogenous mutagenic/carcinogenic 9- (4'-aminophenyl) -9H- pyrido [3,4-b] indole (aminophenylnorharman, APNH) is formed from norharman and aniline in the presence of cytochrome P-450s. The major APNH-DNA adduct has been reported to be 2'-deoxyguanosin-8-yl-aminophenylnorhaman (dG-C8-APNH). In addition, demonstrated formation of APNH-RNA adduct and conducted a structural analysis using various spectrometric approaches. The compound produced from guanosine (Guo) and N-acetoxy-APNH, an ultimate mutagenic form of APNH, was concluded to be guanosin-8-yl-APNH (Guo-C8-APNH) on the basis of various spectroscopic analysis. The same adduct was found in the livers of rats administered APNH. The total adduct levels of APNH-RNA were six times higher than total APNH-DNA adducts in the same rat liver samples.

D006151 Guanosine A purine nucleoside that has guanine linked by its N9 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose. It is a component of ribonucleic acid and its nucleotides play important roles in metabolism. (From Dorland, 28th ed)
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012313 RNA A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.
