2'-Deoxyguanosine in aqueous solution (5 x 10(-4) mol/dm3) was irradiated with 60Co gamma-rays under N2O. Products were separated by gel chromatography (Cellulofine GC-15-m) and high performance liquid chromatography (Inertsil ODS-2). 2-Amino-4-hydroxy-5-formamido-6-(2'-deoxyribosyl)-aminopyrimidine was one of the main radiolytic products. The formation of 2,5-diamino-4- hydroxy-6-(2'-deoxyribosyl)-formamidopyrimidine was detected, this compound being verified by measuring its ultraviolet absorption spectrum and analyzing its trimethylsilylated derivative by gas chromato-mass spectrometry. Its yield in terms of 2-amino-4-hydroxy-5-formamido-6-(2'-deoxyribosyl)- aminopyrimidine was 1:3.
