Abstract

Nitropolycyclic aromatic hyrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) are environmental contaminants and are present in the food hai in.^-^ Since many nitro-PAHs are metabolized to highly mutagenic and tumorigenic metabolites by mammalian and/or bacterial enzymes, there is concern regarding possible adverse human health effects from exposure to these compounds. We have been interested in structure-activity relationships as a means of utilizing the ...
