Benzo[c]chrysene (BcC), an environmental pollutant, is a unique polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that possesses both a bay region and a fjord region in the same molecule. We previously demonstrated that both bay region and fjord region terminal rings are involved in

FEBS letters, 486(2), 163-166 (2000-12-13)
Carcinogenic activity of many polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is mainly attributed to their respective diol epoxides, which can be classified as either bay or fjord region depending upon the location of the epoxide function. The Pi class human glutathione (GSH)

Carcinogenesis, 19(4), 639-648 (1998-05-26)
Metabolic activation of the racemic benzo[c]chrysene-trans-9,10-, benzo[g]chrysene-trans-11,12- and dibenzo[a,l]pyrene-trans-11,12-dihydrodiols to fjord region syn- and anti-dihydrodiol epoxides by microsomes of Aroclor 1254-treated Sprague-Dawley rats has been examined. Since the fjord region dihydrodiol epoxides were hydrolytically unstable under the experimental conditions, their
A S Giles et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 10(11), 1275-1284 (1997-12-24)
The metabolic activation in mouse skin of benzo[c]chrysene (B[c]C), a weakly carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) present in coal tar and crude oil, was investigated. Male Parkes mice were treated topically with 0.5 mumol of B[c]C, and DNA was isolated
Federica Nalin et al.
Analytical and bioanalytical chemistry, 410(3), 1123-1137 (2017-11-10)
Retention indices (I) for 45 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 63 methyl-substituted PAHs were determined by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using two different stationary phases: a Rxi-PAH phase (a "higher phenyl-content stationary phase") and a 50% (mole fraction)
