G Luo et al.
Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 24(9), 1020-1027 (1996-09-01)
Epoxidation at the allylic side chain is a major metabolic pathway for allylbenzene and its naturally occurring analogs safrole, estragole, and eugenol. We demonstrate herein that the epoxide metabolites of allylbenzene, estragole, and safrole can form covalent adducts with DNA
T M Guenthner et al.
Toxicology, 160(1-3), 47-58 (2001-03-14)
The genotoxic potential of naturally occurring allylbenzene analogs, including safrole, eugenol, estragole, and others, has been examined in many studies over the past 30 years. It has been established that these compounds are subject to biotransformation in the liver, which

Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 22(5), 731-737 (1994-09-01)
The enzymatic detoxication in vitro of the 2',3'-epoxide derivatives of allylbenzene and estragole was examined, and the relative rates of enzymatic glutathione conjugation and epoxide hydrolysis were compared with those for styrene 1',2'-oxide. HPLC was used to determine the amounts
