Abstract:The current standard of care for glioblastoma includes surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapeutic agents such as temozolomide (TMZ), a DNA methylating compound. The cytotoxic effects of TMZ have been linked to guanine methylation at the N7 and O6 positions. These adducts are not currently used as markers of TMZ efficacy.
Using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), we have established a sensitive analytical assay to directly detect both N7- and O6-methylguanine adducts from DNA followi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
