The enantiomers of trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydro-7-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (7-MBaP 7,8-dihydrodiol) and of trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-7-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (7-MBaP 7,8-tetrahydrodiol) were directly resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a commercially available column packed with an (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-phenylglycine derivative of gamma-aminopropylsilanized silica. The absolute configurations of the resolved enantiomers were
The ultimate carcinogenic form of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) is thought to result from metabolic activation at the 7 to 10 positions. Substitution by a methyl group at these positions would be expected to inhibit strongly their metabolism even though 7-methylbenzo(a)pyrene (7-MeBP)
The dihydrodiols formed from the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and 7-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (7-MBaP) by liver microsomes from male Sprague-Dawley rats treated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs, Aroclor 1254) have been examined by circular dichroism (CD) spectropolarimetry. Comparisons with optically pure enantiomers obtained
Journal of chromatography. A, 1492, 106-116 (2017-03-08)
Development of the Athabasca Oil Sands Region in northeastern Alberta, Canada has contributed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs), which include alkyl PAHs and dibenzothiophenes, to the regional environment. A new analytical method was developed for quantification
