8-Nitroguanine is a potent mutagenic product of DNA formed during inflammation. Specifically, it is the result of a GC to AT induced transversion mutation from the guanine base of DNA. The compound plays an important role in inflammation-related carcinogenesis. Research shows that it has the potential as a biomarker to evaluate carcinogensis and tumor progression.
