Hydroxyhalofuranones form a group of genotoxic disinfection byproduct (DBP) of increasing interest. Among them, mucohalic acids (3,4-dihalo-5-hydroxyfuran-2(5H)-one, MXA) are known mutagens that react with nucleotides, affording etheno, oxaloetheno, and halopropenal derivatives. Mucohalic acids have also found use in organic synthesis

On-resin real-time monitoring by a combination of a color test of (p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine and Disperse Red was developed for oligosaccharide synthesis.

The chemical reactivity of the mutagenic epoxides (EP) propylene oxide (PO), 1,2-epoxybutane (1,2-EB), and cis- and trans-2,3-epoxybutane (cis- and trans-2,3-EB) with 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine (NBP), a bionucleophile model for S(N)2 alkylating agents with high affinity for the guanine-N7 position, was investigated kinetically.
1,2-Epoxy alkanes from C3 to C8 were reacted with DNA, deoxyguanosine and 4-(p-nitrobenzyl) pyridine (NBP). DNA was hydrolyzed at neutral pH to release 7-alkylguanines. The products were analyzed by HPLC. The epoxides reacted largely according to the chain length, shorter
Mitomycin C (MC) requires bioreduction prior to the generation of alkylating moieties. NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase is predominant in metabolic activation of MC in hypoxic cancer cells. In this study, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), whose reductase domain is structurally similar
