General description

6-Nitrobenzo[a]pyrene belongs to the class of nitrated-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, found to be persistent in the environment. It is produced from direct sources such as diesel, gasoline exhaust and by the gas-phase reactions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with oxides of nitrogen.

Previous studies have shown that 1- and 3-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene (NBaP) were mutagenic in the Salmonella reversion assay without exogenous activation and that 1-, 3- and 6-NBaP were mutagenic in the presence of hepatocytes or liver homogenate (S9). In the present study

We have been interested in determining the structural and electronic features that may be useful in predicting the mutagenic activity of nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs). We have previously found that a correlation between structural and electronic features and direct-acting mutagenicity

Several nitroarenes derived from benzo[a]pyrene and perylene and the parent hydrocarbons have been assayed for mutagenicity in the Salmonella microsome test and for affinity for the 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-receptor protein in rat liver cytosol. 1- and 3-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene are mutagenic in the

Journal of toxicology and environmental health, 19(1), 55-64 (1986-01-01)
Nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitroarenes), including 6-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene (6-NBap), occur in our environment and are mutagenic in bacterial mutagenesis assays. The mutagenicity of 6-NBaP is enhanced when rat liver S9 is added. To investigate the cause of this increased activity, the metabolism
