Metabolism of chrysene, 5-methylchrysene, 6-methylchrysene and 5,6-dimethylchrysene in rat liver cytosol, in vitro, and in rat subcutaneous tissue, in vivo.

Chem. Biol. Interact. 77(2) , 203-21, (1991)

The polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon chrysene undergoes a bioalkylation substitution reaction in vitro, in rat liver cytosol preparations, and in vivo, in rat dorsal subcutaneous tissue to yield 6-methylchrysene as a metabolite. In addition, both 5-methyl- an...

Enhancing effect of a bay region methyl group on tumorigenicity in newborn mice and mouse skin of enantiomeric bay region diol epoxides formed stereoselectively from methylchrysenes in mouse epidermis.

Cancer Res. 47(20) , 5310-5, (1987)

The stereochemistry of diol epoxide formation in mouse epidermis upon topical application of [3H]-1R,2R-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydro-5-methylchrysene ([3H]-5-MeC-1R,2R-diol) and [3H]-6-MeC-1R,2R-diol, and the tumorigenicity in mouse skin and in newborn mice of the R...

Effects of methylated chrysenes on AhR-dependent and -independent toxic events in rat liver epithelial cells.

Toxicology 247(2-3) , 93-101, (2008)

Methylated chrysenes (MeChry) are important cigarette smoke constituents and 5-MeChry has been listed as possibly carcinogenic to humans. Although a major attention has been in past paid especially to mutagenic, tumor-initiating effects of MeChry, little is k...

High stereoselectivity in mouse skin metabolic activation of methylchrysenes to tumorigenic dihydrodiols.

Cancer Res. 47(14) , 3613-7, (1987)

The stereoselectivity of mouse skin metabolic activation to dihydrodiols of the strong carcinogen 5-methylchrysene (5-MeC) and the weak carcinogen 6-methylchrysene (6-MeC) was investigated. Synthetic 1,2-dihydro-1,2-dihydroxy-5-methylchrysene (5-MeC-1,2-diol)...

Metabolism of 5-methylchrysene and 6-methylchrysene by human hepatic and pulmonary cytochrome P450 enzymes.

Cancer Res. 56(2) , 316-24, (1996)

The metabolism of environmentally occurring methylated polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons by human cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes has not been examined previously. We compared the metabolism of the tobacco smoke constituents 5-methylchrysene (5-MeC), a strong ...

Comparative metabolic activation in mouse skin of the weak carcinogen 6-methylchrysene and the strong carcinogen 5-methylchrysene.

Cancer Res. 45(12 Pt 1) , 6406-42, (1985)

We compared the metabolic activation in mouse skin of the weak carcinogen 6-methylchrysene, which lacks a bay region methyl group, and the strong carcinogen 5-methylchrysene, which has a bay region methyl group. Metabolites of 6-methyl-chrysene were prepared ...
