text Alkylating chemotherapeutic drugs from the triazene group, dacarbazine (van Delft 1992), procarbazine (Wiestler et al. 1984 - study done in rats), temozolomide (Plummer et al. 2005), and streptozocin (streptozotocin) (Bennett and Pegg 1981 - study done in rats), produce N7-methylguanine adducts on double-stranded DNA (7meG-dsDNA). 7-methylguanine is the predominant methylation adduct produced by monofunctional alkylating chemotherapeutics, accounting for 60-80% of total alkylating lesions in DNA (reviewed by Fu et al. 2012).
