Chemico-biological interactions, 44(1-2), 155-168 (1983-04-01)
The dihydrodiols formed from the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and 7-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (7-MBaP) by liver microsomes from male Sprague-Dawley rats treated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs, Aroclor 1254) have been examined by circular dichroism (CD) spectropolarimetry. Comparisons with optically pure enantiomers obtained

Chemico-biological interactions, 36(2), 153-166 (1981-08-01)
The 7-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (7-MBaP) was incubated with liver microsomes of rats pretreated with polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1254) (PCBs). Metabolites of 7-MBaP were isolated by both reversed-phase and normal-phage high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, UV-visible

The enantiomers of trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydro-7-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (7-MBaP 7,8-dihydrodiol) and of trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-7-methylbenzo[a]pyrene (7-MBaP 7,8-tetrahydrodiol) were directly resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a commercially available column packed with an (R)-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-phenylglycine derivative of gamma-aminopropylsilanized silica. The absolute configurations of the resolved enantiomers were

Cancer research, 42(10), 4032-4038 (1982-10-01)
The ultimate carcinogenic form of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) is thought to result from metabolic activation at the 7 to 10 positions. Substitution by a methyl group at these positions would be expected to inhibit strongly their metabolism even though 7-methylbenzo(a)pyrene (7-MeBP)
