Qualitative and quantitative detection of aldehydes in DNA with 2-amino benzamidoxime derivative

摘要

An aldehyde-reactive probe based on 2-amino benzamidoxime(ABAO)framework was introduced,which can selectively label aldehydes in DNA through intramolecular ring closure under mild aqueous solutions.We screened ABAO derivatives that can undergo a cyclization with the formylated nucleobases to generate a fluorescence nucleoside,and of these derivatives 5–methoxy-ABAO(PMA)emerged as the optimal choice.PMA can sensitively and selectively react with 5f U,5f C and AP to form fluorogenic dihydroquinazoline derivatives,which also can quantify DNA damages induced byγ-irradiation.PMA-initiated labeling strategy provides great convenience for qualitative and quantitative detection of aldehydes in DNA.
