TY - JOUR AU - Sims, P. AB - Benz[a]anthracene-10,11-diol, a major metabolite of benz[a]anthracene, is metabolized by a rat-liver microsomal system to form anti-BA-10,11-diol 8, 9-oxide (t-10,r-11-dihydroxy-t-8,9-oxy-8,9, 10,11-tetrahydrobenz[a]anthracene) and, to a lesser extent, syn-BA-10,11-diol 8,9-oxide (t-10 r-11-dihydroxy-c-8,9-oxy-8,9,10,11-tetrahydrobenz[a]anthracene). However, when benz[a]anthracene is incubated with DNA in a rat-liver microsomal system, anti-BA-10,11-diol 8,9-oxide does not contribute to the covalent binding of this hydrocarbon to DNA TI - The metabolism of the 10,11-dihydrodiol of benz[a]-anthracene to a vicinal diol-epoxide that is not involved in metabolic activation JF - Carcinogenesis DO - 10.1093/carcin/1.11.937 DA - 1980-01-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/oxford-university-press/the-metabolism-of-the-10-11-dihydrodiol-of-benz-a-anthracene-to-a-3F52MUzzmE SP - 937 EP - 943 VL - 1 IS - 11 DP - DeepDyve ER -
