The mutagenic activities of dibenz[a,c]anthracene (DB[a,c]A), and its 11 derivatives, including 3 diols, 6 phenols and 2 oxepines, were studied in the TA100 strain of Salmonella typhimurium at doses varying from 0 to 20 micrograms/plate in the presence of a
Dibenz[a,c]anthracene.
IARC monographs on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risk of chemicals to humans, 32, 289-297 (1983-12-01)
In rat liver microsomal preparations, the 10,11-dihydrodiol of dibenz[a,c]anthracene (DBA) is metabolized to r-10,t-11-dihydroxy-t-12,13-oxy-10,11,12,13-tetrahydrodibenz[a,c]anthracene (anti-DBA 10,11-diol 12,13-oxide), the anti isomer of a non-bay-region diol-epoxide of DBA. When 3H-labelled DBA or trans-10,11-dihydro-10,11-dihydroxydibenz[a,c]anthracene were metabolized in this system in the presence of
The flash photolysis technique was used to examine the kinetics of CO binding to cytochromes P450 in rat liver microsomes. The effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and flavones was used to distinguish the kinetic behavior of the PAH-metabolizing P450
The binding of benzo[a]pyrene, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, 3-methylcholanthrene, benz[a]anthracene, dibenz[a,c]anthracene and phenanthrene to calf thymus DNA in vitro in the absence of enzymatic or chemical activation was investigated using the 32P-postlabeling assay. Reactions were performed in the dark or under white light
