Abstract

Glucuronidation of quinols of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represents an important detoxication pathway preventing toxic quinone/quinol redox cycles. Therefore, mono-and diglucuronide formation of benzo (a) pyrene-3, 6-quinol was investigated and compared to that of structurally related 3, 6-dihydroxychrysene and simple phenols (1- naphthol and 4-methylumbelliferone) using V79 cell-expressed human UGT1. 6 (= P1) ...
