M1G (pyrimido[1,2-a]purin-10(3H)-one) is a DNA adduct.[1] It is created by malondialdehyde (an end product of lipid peroxidation) and is mutagenic. It is repaired by the body by the nucleotide excision repair system.[2] If not repaired, the adduct is mutagenic. Therefore, detection and quantification of M1G adducts in the body is a tool for diagnosing cancer.[2]
It has been detected in cell DNA in liver, leucocytes, pancreas and breast in concentrations of 1-120 per 108 nucleotides.[2]
