The promoter probe mini-Tn5-luxAB-tet was used to create a luxAB transcriptional fusion responding to fluorene in the fluorene utilising bacterium Sphingomonas sp. LB126. The mutant strain, named L-132, was impaired in fluorene utilisation and strongly emitted light upon addition of
In searching for a next generation molecule to the novel wake promoting agent modafinil (compound 1), a series of fluorene-derived wakefulness enhancing agents were developed and evaluated in rat. Extensive pharmacokinetic studies of a potent member of the series (compound

Urinary 1-hydroxypyrene (OH-Pyr) is widely used for biomonitoring human exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from air pollution and tobacco smoke. However, there have been few rigorous validation studies reported to ensure reliable OH-Pyr determination for occupational health and risk

Fluoren-9-ol and fluoren-9-one were used as model substrates to study microsomal metabolism of alcohols and carbonyl compounds. It was found that there was an oxidoreductase(s) present in the microsomal preparation that catalyzed interconversion of this alcohol and ketone using pyridine
