Benzo[c]phenanthrene (B[c]Ph) is an environmental contaminant with low carcinogenic activity in rodent bioassays. B[c]Ph-3,4-diol-1,2-epoxides (B[c]PhDE), however, are among the most tumorigenic diol epoxides known. To determine whether human cells are capable of activating B[c]Ph to DNA-binding metabolites, cultures of the

Sulfur-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (thia-PAHs or thiaarenes) are common constituents of air pollution and cigarette smoke, but only a few have been studied for health effects. We evaluated the mutagenicity in Salmonella TA98, TA100, and TA104 of two sulfur-containing derivatives
V P Gupta et al.
Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy, 72(1), 82-101 (2008-10-22)
A systematic study has been conducted on the conformation, electronic structure and vibrational spectra of benzo[c]phenanthrene and some of its partially reduced derivatives by experimental infrared spectroscopic and quantum chemical techniques. Electrostatic potential surfaces have been mapped over the electron

Benzo[c]phenanthrene diol epoxide (B[c]PhDE), the ultimate carcinogenic metabolite of the environmental pollutant benzo[c]phenanthrene, reacts with DNA primarily at the exocyclic amino groups of purines, forming B[c]PhDE-DNA adducts that differ in their stereochemical configurations and their effect on biological processes such

Frontiers in bioscience : a journal and virtual library, 9, 2807-2818 (2004-09-09)
Remarkably different conformations can result when DNA binds with stereoisomeric compounds containing differing absolute configurations of substituents about chiral carbon atoms. Furthermore, the biochemical functions of covalent adducts with DNA are strongly affected by the stereochemistry of the ligands. Such
