Biotransformation of Nitro Aromatic Compounds by Flavin-Free NADH-Azoreductase
Nitro aromatic compounds are the potential toxic organic pollutant released into the environment and are often resistant to degradation under normal environmental conditions. The biotransformation and/or detoxification of these compounds can be possible by microbial azoreductase enzyme. Azoreductase enzyme has an ability to reduce the toxic nitro group to corresponding amino group. In present r...
متن کاملBiotransformation of Aromatic Aldehydes by Cell Cultures of Peganum harmala L. and Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.
Many aldehydes are important components of natural flavours. They are used in food, cosmetic, and biomedical industries in large amounts. Plant cells or microorganisms carry out their production by biotransformation, which is one of the biotechnological methods that allow them to be defined as 'natural'. Cell cultures of Silybum marianum and Peganum harmala have been studied with a view to in...

متن کاملPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitro-PAHs and related environmental compounds: biological markers of exposure and effects.
Lung cancer caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nitro-PAHs and related environmental agents is a major problem in industrialized nations. The high case-fatality rate of the disease, even with the best supportive treatment, underscores the importance of primary lung cancer prevention. Development of biomarkers of exposure and effects to PAHs and related compounds is now underway a...
متن کاملDNA adducts and carcinogenicity of nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
We have been interested in the structure-activity relationships of nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs), and have focused on the correlation of structural and electronic features with biological activities, including mutagenicity and tumorigenicity. In our studies, we have emphasized 1-, 2-, 3-, and 6-nitrobenzo[a]pyrenes (nitro-B[a]Ps) and related compounds, all of which are der...
