The development of a selection procedure is described which utilizes the fact that certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are rendered highly cytotoxic when illuminated with near-ultraviolet light. Twenty polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were screened for phototoxicity and toxicity in the absence of
Benzo[ghi]perylene (B[ghi]P) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), present in complex combustion products, and evidence for its carcinogenic activity in experimental animals is equivocal, and yet it has demonstrable mutagenic activity in vitro. In order to investigate the possible DNA
Py and BPe solvent polarity scales: effect of temperature on pyrene and benzo[ghi]perylene fluorescence spectra.
Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy, 57(13), 2673-2685 (2002-01-05)
Absorption. fluorescence and laser properties of perylene, benzo(ghi)perylene and coronene are studied experimentally (under the same conditions) and quantum chemically at room (293 K) and at low (77 and 4 K) temperatures and direct comparison is made between the results

Carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), e.g., benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), possess a bay region comprising an ortho-fused benzene ring. Benzo[ghi]perylene (BghiP) represents the group of PAHs lacking such a "classic" bay region and hence cannot be metabolically converted like BaP to bay
