Synthesis and mutagenicity of the diastereomeric fjord-region 11,12-dihydrodiol 13,14-epoxides of dibenzo [a,l]pyrene

Abstract: Extensive tumorigenicity studies in rodents revealed that dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is the most potent carcinogen among all polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) tested so far. The structure of the genotoxic metabolite(s) responsible for this exceptional carcinogenicity is unknown. The fjord-region syn- and anti-DB[a,l]P-11,12-dihydrodiol 13,14-epoxides (syn- and anti-DB[a,l]PDE) were synthesized to clarify their role as possible ultimate mutagenic and carcinogenic metabolites of DB[a,l]P.9-Formyl-11,12-… Show more

“…In all five of the test systems, these compounds were much more potent than any of the bay or fjord region diol-epoxides tested before (29,55). The specific mutagenicity observed with anti-DB[a,l]PDE in strain TA104 exhibited the highest value ever found with any compound in any his-strains of S. typhimurium.…”

“…The mutagenicity of racemic syn-and anti-DB[a,l]PDE was examined in four his-strains of Salmonella typhimurium and in Chinese hamster V79 cells (29). In all five of the test systems, these compounds were much more potent than any of the bay or fjord region diol-epoxides tested before (29,55).…”

“…Recent in vivo studies with rodents have shown that at low doses the tumor-initiating activity of DB[a,l]P is significantly greater than that of benzo[a]pyrene or 7,12-dimethylbenz [a]anthracene (4)(5)(6). DB[a,l]P, like other PAHs, can be enzymatically activated to electrophilic intermediates that bind to DNA (7,8); formation of covalent DNA adducts is believed to be responsible for the mutagenic and carcinogenic activity of DB[a,l]P (7,9,10). 32 P-Postlabeling analysis of DB-[a,l]P-DNA adducts has shown that metabolic activation of DB[a,l]P in cell cultures occurs via formation of the fjord region 11,12-diol 13,14-epoxide (DE) intermediates, which can in principle exist in four different stereoisomeric forms (4,11).…”
