General description

3-Nitrofluoranthene, belonging to the class of nitrated-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, is persistent in the environment. It is produced from direct sources such as diesel, gasoline exhaust and gas-phase reactions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with oxides of nitrogen.

When 56 flavonoids, 32 coumarins, five naphthoquinones, 12 anthraquinones and five structurally-related compounds were tested for their antimutagenic potencies with respect to mutagenicities induced by 2-nitrofluorene (2-NF), 3-nitrofluoranthene (3-NFA) and 1-nitropyrene (1-NP) in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 distinct structure-activity relationships were

Nitrofluoranthenes (NFs) are mutagenic and carcinogenic environmental pollutants found in incomplete combustion products and urban air particulate. We have studied both oxidative and reductive metabolism in vitro of different NF isomers mediated by subcellular rat liver fractions. Under aerobic conditions

Metabolism of 2-nitrofluoranthene (2-NFA), one of the most abundant and genotoxic environmental pollutants in air, and of a mixture of 2-nitrofluoranthene and 3-nitrofluoranthene (3-NFA) was studied using (1) the fungus Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 36112 and (2) rat liver microsomes. The

We investigated the metabolism of 3-nitrofluoranthene by filamentous fungus, Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 36112. Cunninghamella elegans metabolized about 72% of the 3-nitro[3,4-14C]fluoranthene added during 144 h of incubation to 2 major metabolites. These metabolites were separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography
