General description

The carcinogenecity of 1,3-dinitropyrene was studied in newborn female rats.

Application

1,3-Dinitropyrene has been used in:
  • modification of the umu-assay (ISO 13829) to assess the cytotoxic potential of toxins
  • in vitro synthesis of 1,N6-etheno-2′-deoxyadenosine and 1,N2-etheno-2′-deoxyguanosine

The carcinogenicities of 1-nitropyrene (1-NP), 4-nitropyrene (4-NP), 1,3-dinitropyrene (1,3-DNP), 1,6-dinitropyrene (1,6-DNP), 1,8-dinitropyrene (1,8-DNP), 3-hydroxy-1-nitropyrene (3-OH-1-NP) and a mixture of 6- and 8-hydroxy-1-nitropyrene (6/8-OH-1-NP) were investigated in newborn female rats. Newborn female CD rats were treated s.c. eight times at weekly

Dinitropyrenes are mutagenic and carcinogenic environmental pollutants commonly found in diesel exhaust and airborne particulates. In the present study, the ability of rabbit lung to metabolize 1,8-dinitro[4,5,9,10-3H]pyrene by both oxygen-dependent and oxygen-independent pathways has been investigated. Using lung 9000 g

Human intestinal microbial flora were screened for their abilities to reduce nitroaromatic compounds by growing them on brain heart infusion agar plates containing 1-nitropyrene. Bacteria metabolizing 1-nitropyrene, detected by the appearance of clear zones around the colonies, were identified as
