1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB) is a strongly genotoxic diepoxide hypothesized to be the ultimate carcinogenic metabolite of the common industrial chemical and environmental carcinogen 1,3-butadiene. DEB is a bis-electrophile capable of cross-linking cellular biomolecules to form DNA-DNA and DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs), which

The biotransformation and oxidative stress may contribute to 1,2:3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB)-induced toxicity to human lymphocytes of Fanconi Anemia (FA) patients. Thus, the identification of putative inhibitors of bioactivation, as well as the determination of the protective role of oxidant defenses, on

1,2,3,4-Diepoxybutane (DEB) is a carcinogenic metabolite of 1,3-butadiene (BD), an important industrial and environmental chemical present in urban air and in cigarette smoke. DEB is considered the ultimate carcinogenic species of BD because of its potent genotoxicity and mutagenicity attributed

1,2,3,4-Diepoxybutane (DEB) is reported to be the most potent mutagenic metabolite of 1,3-butadiene, an important industrial chemical and environmental pollutant. DEB is capable of inducing the formation of monoalkylated DNA adducts and DNA-DNA and DNA-protein cross-links. We previously reported that
