Application

1-Pyrenemethanol can be used:
  • For the synthesis of pincer-like benzene-bridged fluorescent selective sensor for adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) detection.
  • As a starting material for the synthesis of pyrene-end poly(glycidyl methacrylate) polymer.
  • As an initiator for the synthesis of pyrene core star polymers.
  • For the synthesis of 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde, an important intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical fields.

Various enzymatically formed sulfuric acid esters are chemically reactive and mutagenic. This metabolic activation pathway is not detected in standard in-vitro mutagenicity test systems. We describe the construction of Salmonella typhimurium TA1538-derived strains expressing alloenzymes *1, *2, *3, *5, *6

1-Hydroxymethylpyrene (HMP) is activated to a potent mutagen, detectable in Salmonella typhimurium, in the presence of hepatic cytosol, cofactor for sulfotransferases, and chloride anions. The number of induced mutations is linear to the amount of cytosol used over a wide

Our previous studies on 7-hydroxymethyl-12-methylbenz[a]anthracene and 6-hydroxymethylbenzo[a]pyrene showed that cytosolic sulfotransferase activity plays a major role in the formation of hepatic benzylic DNA and RNA adducts by these carcinogens in rats. In the present study, we found similar sulfotransferase activity
H Glatt et al.
Chemico-biological interactions, 109(1-3), 195-219 (1998-05-05)
Sulfation is a common final step in the biotransformation of xenobiotics and is traditionally associated with inactivation. However, the sulfate group is electron-withdrawing and may be cleaved off heterolytically in some molecules leading to electrophilic cations which may form adducts
