Cancer letters, 19(1), 21-26 (1983-05-01)
The tumor-initiating activities of dibenz[a,c]anthracene (DBA) and of the related trans-1,2-, 3,4- and 10,11-dihydrodiols have been examined on mouse skin subsequently promoted with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). The 1,2- and 10,11-dihydrodiols were active and were more active than equivalent doses of either

Incubation of r-1,t-2-dihydroxy-t-3,4-oxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrochrysene (anti-chrysene-1,2-diol 3,4-oxide), the bay-region diol-epoxide of chrysene, with rat liver microsomes in the presence of NADP+ and DNA, followed by 32P-postlabelling analysis of the DNA, revealed the presence of at least two adducts not detected when anti-chrysene-1,2-diol

The mutagenic activities of dibenz[a,c]anthracene (DB[a,c]A), and its 11 derivatives, including 3 diols, 6 phenols and 2 oxepines, were studied in the TA100 strain of Salmonella typhimurium at doses varying from 0 to 20 micrograms/plate in the presence of a

Carcinogenesis, 2(12), 1345-1352 (1981-01-01)
In rat liver microsomal preparations, the 10,11-dihydrodiol of dibenz[a,c]anthracene (DBA) is metabolized to r-10,t-11-dihydroxy-t-12,13-oxy-10,11,12,13-tetrahydrodibenz[a,c]anthracene (anti-DBA 10,11-diol 12,13-oxide), the anti isomer of a non-bay-region diol-epoxide of DBA. When 3H-labelled DBA or trans-10,11-dihydro-10,11-dihydroxydibenz[a,c]anthracene were metabolized in this system in the presence of
