Analytical biochemistry, 217(2), 292-297 (1994-03-01)
We have developed a procedure for isolating and quantifying 7-methyladenine from rat urine following the administration to the rat of methylating agents, such as dimethylnitrosamine. Urinary 7-methyladenine and its trideutero isomer, added as an internal standard, were precipitated with silver

Acta biochimica Polonica, 46(3), 785-799 (2000-03-04)
The most abundant lesion formed in DNA upon modification with methylating agents 7-methylguanine, under alkaline conditions is converted into 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-5N-methyl-formamidopyrimidine (Fapy-7MeGua). We have previously shown that treatment of dimethylsulfate methylated DNA with NaOH creates mutagenic base derivatives leading to a

Carcinogenesis, 15(7), 1393-1398 (1994-07-01)
Earlier studies showed that urine of rats which had been injected with the methylating agent N-[3H-methyl]-N-nitrosourea contained a previously undetected metabolic product, 7-[3H-methyl]adenine. This methylpurine, undoubtedly derived from alkylation of nucleic acids followed by depurination, was not labeled when 14C-methyl-labeled
H G Mandel et al.
Carcinogenesis, 10(4), 757-762 (1989-04-01)
Relatively simple and rapid analytical procedures involving two sequential HPLC separations were developed for the isolation of methylated purines in the urine of rats administered radiolabeled methylating carcinogens. Following a dose of [3H]N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU), 7-methyl-adenine (m7Gua) was detected by chromatography

Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 76(4), 828-830 (2012-04-10)
Adenine had a concentration-dependent relaxation action on the phenylephrine-contracted aorta ring, with an EC(50) value of 0.40±0.12 mM. This effect was also observed in the endothelium-denuded aorta. Among the adenine analogues, N-methyladenine and benzimidazole still evoked an apparent relaxation effect
