The genotoxic potency of methyl iodide was investigated in a DNA binding study. Male and female F344 rats were exposed to 14C-labelled methyl iodide orally or by inhalation in a closed exposure system. DNA adducts were detected in the liver, lung, stomach and forestomach of the exposed animals. [14C]3-Methyladenine, [14C]7-methylguanine and [14C]O6-methylguanine could be identified by a combination of three different methods of hydrolysing DNA and subsequent HPLC or GC/MS analysis. The highest values of methylated guanines were determined in the stomach and forestomach of the animals following both oral and inhalative exposure. These results demonstrate a systemic genotoxic effect of methyl iodide.

D011687 Purines A series of heterocyclic compounds that are variously substituted in nature and are known also as purine bases. They include ADENINE and GUANINE, constituents of nucleic acids, as well as many alkaloids such as CAFFEINE and THEOPHYLLINE. Uric acid is the metabolic end product of purine metabolism.

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).

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
