General description

3-Nitrofluoranthene, belonging to the class of nitrated-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, is persistent in the environment. It is produced from direct sources such as diesel, gasoline exhaust and gas-phase reactions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with oxides of nitrogen.

The 1H NMR spectra of the nitrofluoranthene isomers are presented to allow gas chromatographic analysis of environmental samples suspected of containing nitrofluoranthenes. The mutagenic isomers 1-, 2-, 3-, 7-, and 8-nitrofluoranthene and 1,2- and 1,3-dinitrofluoranthene and a nonmutagenic analogue, 1-phenyl-4-nitronaphthalene

The male rabbit liver microsomal cytochrome P450 metabolism of 1-nitropyrene and 3-nitrofluoranthene was investigated. In this study, we used inhibitory antibodies specific for rabbit P450 2C3 and determined that, in untreated male rabbit liver microsomes, the antibody inhibited approximately 75%

The environmental pollutant 3-nitrofluoranthene is metabolized in vitro and in vivo to several products including the phenolic metabolites 3-nitrofluoranthen-6-ol (3NF-6-ol), 3-nitrofluoranthen-8-ol (3NF-8-ol), and 3-nitrofluoranthen-9-ol (3NF-9-ol). Similarly, 1-nitropyrene is metabolized to the phenolic metabolites 1-nitropyren-3-ol (1NP-3-ol), 1-nitropyren-6-ol (1NP-6-ol), and 1-nitropyren-8-ol (1NP-8-ol).
