C A Bigger et al.
Carcinogenesis, 11(12), 2263-2265 (1990-12-01)
An SV40-based pS189 shuttle vector, which contained a supF target gene and was replicated in human cells (Ad293), was used to determine the mutational specificity of anti 5-methylchrysene 1,2-dihydrodiol 3,4-epoxide, the active metabolite of the environmentally prevalent carcinogen 5-methylchrysene. The
S Amin et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 5(2), 237-241 (1992-03-01)
In previous studies, we have observed unexpected structure-tumorigenicity relationships among the dimethylchrysenes. Thus, 5,6-dimethylchrysene and 5,7-dimethylchrysene were only weakly tumorigenic and were significantly less active than 5-methylchrysene. These results were surprising in view of the known route of metabolic activation
D B Reardon et al.
Carcinogenesis, 8(9), 1317-1322 (1987-09-01)
Products of reaction of the racemic anti bay region 1,2-dihydrodiol-3,4-epoxide of 5-methylchrysene with DNA were identified by comparison with the products formed in reactions with individual nucleotides. The latter products, i.e. two deoxyguanosine adducts and four deoxyadenosine adducts, were characterized
T Kuljukka-Rabb et al.
Mutagenesis, 16(4), 353-358 (2001-06-23)
Cultures of a human mammary carcinoma cell line (MCF-7) were exposed to the soluble organic fraction of diesel particle emissions, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and 5-methylchrysene (5-MeCHR) to study time- and dose-related PAH-DNA binding. The concentrations of 14 PAHs in three extracts
Stephen S Hecht et al.
Cancer letters, 187(1-2), 87-94 (2002-10-03)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are an important group of carcinogens that are likely to be involved as one of the causes of lung cancer in smokers and occupationally exposed individuals. Previous studies have shown that benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), administered by
