Mechanisms Of Carcinogenesis of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Pages 1-23 | Published online: 22 Sep 2006
 

Abstract

Recent investigations into the mechanisms of carcinogenesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are discussed with major emphasis on the diol epoxide pathway. These investigations are in three principal areas: (1) enantiospecific synthesis of dihydrodiol and diol epoxide metabolites; (2) sitespecific synthesis of PAH-oligonucleotide adducts; and (3) studies of bis−dihydrodiol (i.e. tetrahydrotetraol) and tetraol monoepoxide metabolites.
