General description

This polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is soluble in acetone. It is a non-carcinogenic benzopyrene isomer. Studies report its lack of immunosuppressive activity following in vivo and in vitro exposure.In nature, it is metabolized by strains of C. elegans to 3-benzo[e]Pyrene sulphate, 1-hydroxy-3-benzi[e]pyrenyl sulfate and bezo[e]Pyrene 3-O-ß-glucopyranoside.

Application

Used for studies of immune suppressive activity of bezo[e]Pyrene on antibody response to DNP-Ficoll and sheep erythrocytes and "dispersive liquid -liquid micro extraction” technique by extracting organic compounds from water samples.
