This paper reports structural characterization of the adducts and tetraols formed from syn-benzo[ghi]fluoranthene-3,4-dihydrodiol-5,5a-epoxide (syn-B[ghi]FDE, 3) and comparative DNA-binding and mutagenicity studies involving 3, anti-B[ghi]FDE (2), and anti-benzo[c]phenanthrene-11,12-dihydrodiol-13,14-epoxide (anti-BcPDE, 5). The structures of nine DNA adducts and two racemic tetraols derived

The environmental contaminant benzo[c]phenanthrene (B[c]Ph) has weak carcinogenic activity in rodent bioassays; however, the fjord region diol epoxides of B[c]Ph, B[c]Ph-3,4-diol 1,2-epoxides (B[c]PhDE), are potent carcinogens. To determine the role of cytochrome P450 isozymes in the activation of B[c]Ph in

Distributions of adducts formed from each of the four optically active isomers of 3,4-dihydroxy-1,2-epoxy-1,2,3, 4-tetrahydrobenzo[c]phenanthrene and of 7,8-dihydroxy-9,10-epoxy-7,8, 9,10- tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (BcPh and BaP diol epoxides) on reaction with an equimolar mixture of deoxyadenosine and deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphates were compared with the
Benzo[c]phenanthrene dihydrodiol epoxide (B[c] PhDE) is well known as an important environmental chemical carcinogen that preferentially modifies DNA in adenine residues. However, the molecular mechanism by which B[c]PhDE induces tumorigenesis is not fully understood. In this report, we demonstrate that

The environmentally occurring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) benzo[c]phenanthrene (B[c]PH) is a weak carcinogen in rodents. In contrast, the dihydrodiol-epoxides of B[c]PH are among the most carcinogenic PAH metabolites tested so far. In rodents, B[c]PH is predominantly metabolized to B[c]PH-5,6-dihydrodiol (B[c]PH-5,6-DH)
