Endogenous AP-derived cross-links in cellular DNA could contribute to cancer, aging, and neurodegeneration. The yields of AP-derived cross-links produced by the various nucleobases vary widely, and, until now, it remained unclear whether these differences might simply reflect differences in the inherent reactivities of the nucleobases. To shed light on this question, we examined reactions of a nucleosidic AP model compound, 3,5-bis-O-methyl-2-deoxy-D-ribofuranose (1), with the canonical nucleosides (dA, dG, and dC) and the noncanonical nucleoside, 2-aminopurine-2'-deoxyriboside (2AP). The trends observed for the equilibrium yields of the nucleoside cross-links did not mirror yields of the respective cross-links observed in the context of duplex DNA. The results provide evidence that the inherent reactivity of the nucleobases alone does not determine yields of AP-derived cross-links in duplex DNA.
