Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic substances that are mainly generated during heating in food; therefore, the European Union (EU) has regulated the amount of benzo[a]pyrene and PAH4 in various types of food. In addition, the Scientific Committee on Food

Eight deoxyribonucleoside adducts formed from reactions of syn-5-methylchrysene 1,2-dihydrodiol 3,4-epoxide with DNA or with nucleotides were characterized spectroscopically. The adducts arose from both cis and trans opening of the epoxide ring at C4 by the amino group of either deoxyadenosine
The three-dimensional structure of the product of the reaction of a diol epoxide of the carcinogen 5-methylchrysene with methanol has been determined by an X-ray diffraction analysis. The diol epoxide used to obtain this compound contains a stereochemically hindered bay
The distribution of hydrocarbon-DNA adducts through the supF gene in plasmid pS189 was examined using the polymerase arrest assay. For three hydrocarbon dihydrodiol epoxides, derived from 5-methylchrysene, 7-methylbenz[a]anthracene, and benzo[a]pyrene, that exhibit a preference for reaction with guanine residues in

Both syn and anti dihydrodiol epoxides from 5-methylchrysene (5-MCDE) and 5,6-dimethylchrysene (5,6-DMCDE) were reacted under the same conditions with native DNA, denatured DNA, and purine deoxyribonucleotides, and the products were quantified. The extents of reaction with the deoxyribonucleotides were consistently
