Massive deadenylation of adenine based-nucleosides induced by halogenated alkanes at the physiological condition have been observed. For the study of deadenylation effects by the different substituents and/or functionality in halogenated alkanes, diverse kinds of halogenated alkanes were incubated with adenine based-nucleosides (ddA, dA and adenosine) for 48 h at the physiological condition (pH 7.4, $37\;{^{\circ}C}$), which were analyzed by HPLC and further confirmed by LC-MS. Among the sixteen different halogenated alkanes, we observed massive deadenylation of nucleosides by 2-bromo-2-methylpropane, 2,3-dibromopropene, 2-bromopropane, bromoethane and 2-iodopropane. The order of deadenylation rate was highest in 2-bromo-2-methylpropane followed by 2,3-dibromopropene, 2-bromopropane, bromoethane and 2-iodopropane. In addition, time and dose response relationship of deadenylation in adenine based-nucleosides induced by 2-bromo-2-methylpropane, 2,3-dibromopropene, 2-bromopropane, bromoethane and 2-iodopropane at the physiological condition were investigated. In addition, deadenylation of calf thymus DNA induced by halogenated alkanes was also investigated. These results suggest that the toxic effect of certain halogenated alkanes might be from the depurination of nucleosides.

Massive deguanylation of guanine based-nucleosides induced by halogenated alkanes at the physiological condition have been observed. For the study of deguanylation effects by the different substituents and/or functionality in halogenated alkanes, diverse kinds of halogenated alkanes were incubated with guanine based-nucleosides (ddG, dG and guanosine) for 48 h at the physiological condition (pH 7.4, 37$^{\circ}C$), which were analyzed by HPLC and further confirmed by LC-MS. Among the sixteen different halogenated alkanes, we observed massive deguanylation of nucleosides by 2-bromo-2-methylpropane, 2,3-dibromopropene, 2-bromopropane, bromoethane and 2-iodopropane. The order of deguanylation rate was highest in 2-bromo-2-methylpropane followed by 2,3-dibromopropene, 2-bromopropane, bromoethane and 2-iodopropane. In addition, time and dose response relationship of deguanylation in guanine basednucleosides induced by 2-bromo-2-methylpropane, 2,3-dibromopropene, 2-bromopropane, bromoethane and 2-iodopropane at the physiological condition were investigated.

미국지질조사소 NAWQA 프로그램에서 선정한 기준에 따라, 도시지역에서 채취한 도로를 흐르는 빗물과 일부 지하수의 휘발성유기화합물의 오염을 평가하기 위해 62개 휘발성유기화합물을 선택하였다. 62개 휘발성유기화합물은 3종류의 aromatic hydrocarbons, 13 종류의 alkyl benzenes, 1개의 ether, 26종류의 halogenated alkanes, 10종류의 halogenated alkenes 및 9종류의 halogenated aromatics를 포함하고 있다. 서울시 지역의 도로를 흐르는 빗물과 지하수의 휘발성유기화합물의 함량은 2000년 3월, 6월 및 11월에 시료를 채취하여 분석하였다. 모두 78개 시료(44개 도로를 흐르는 빗물시료, 27개 지하수 시료, 7개 하수종말처리장의 시료)가 채취되었으며, purge and trap 방법으로 추출하여 GC-MS로 분석하였다. 그 결과, alkyl benzenes과 aromatic hydrocarbons이 서울지역에서 자동차 통행에 의해 가장 영향을 받는 유기화합물이다. 분석된 62개 휘발성 유기화합물 중, 도로에 흐르는 빗물에서 검출되지 않은 휘발성유기화합물 성분은 단지 11개 성분뿐이었으나, 채취된 지하수에서 검출된 휘발성유기화합물은 14개 성분만이 검출되었다. 도로를 흐르는 빗물에서의 톨루엔 함량은 시료 채취 장소에 따라 변화가 매우 심하고, 0.1-29,310ppb이다. 벤젠의 함량은 0.05-33.0ppb, ethylbenzene은 0.05-960ppb, trichloromethane(chloroform)은 0.08-20ppb, trichloroethylene(TCE)는 0.03-4.30ppb, 1,1,2 trichloroethane은 0.1-50.0ppb이다. 채취된 일부 지하수 시료에 대한 예비조사 결과, dichloromethane(methylene chloride), trichloromethane(chloroform)와 toluene 등이 가장 자주 검출되는 성분이었다. 대부분의 aromatic hydrocarbons, alkyl benzenes및 다른 유기용매 성분은 검출농도 이하이다.
