Eight deoxyribonucleoside adducts formed from reactions of syn-5-methylchrysene 1,2-dihydrodiol 3,4-epoxide with DNA or with nucleotides were characterized spectroscopically. The adducts arose from both cis and trans opening of the epoxide ring at C4 by the amino group of either deoxyadenosine

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic substances that are mainly generated during heating in food; therefore, the European Union (EU) has regulated the amount of benzo[a]pyrene and PAH4 in various types of food. In addition, the Scientific Committee on Food
The three-dimensional structure of the product of the reaction of a diol epoxide of the carcinogen 5-methylchrysene with methanol has been determined by an X-ray diffraction analysis. The diol epoxide used to obtain this compound contains a stereochemically hindered bay
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
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
