Chemical Carcinogenesis: Interactions of Carcinogens with Nucleic Acids

  • Chapter

Abstract

Two of the major conceptual advances in chemical carcinogenesis made during the past several years have been the discovery of (1) the enzymatic activation of procarcinogens to reactive ultimate carcinogens and (2) the chemical interactions of the active metabolites of many carcinogens with a variety of tissue nucleophils including RNA, DNA, and protein. This chapter is concerned with the interactions of chemical carcinogens and their activated metabolites, proximate and ultimate carcinogens, with nucleic acids, both DNA and RNA.
