DNA cross-linking was evaluated by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to determine the relative cross-linking abilities of two aziridinylbenzoquinones. Reactivities of RH1 (2,5-diaziridinyl-3-[hydroxymethyl]-6-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone), a clinically studied antitumor cross-linking agent, and an analogue containing a phenyl group (2,5-diaziridinyl-3-[hydroxymethyl]-6-phenyl-1,4-benzoquinone, PhRH1) rather than a methyl group were compared. The bulky phenyl substituent was added to determine the impact of steric hindrance on the formation of cross-links within a double helical structure. Cross-links formed by RHI and PhRH1 were observed at 5'-dGNC sites as well as 5'-dGAAC/dGTTC sites. RH1 was more effective at forming cross-links than PhRH1 for a variety of duplexes. Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) and collision-induced dissociation results confirmed the presence and the location of the cross-links within the duplexes, and IRMPD was used to identify the dissociation pathways of the cross-linked duplexes.
