چکیده
The crystal structure of PCB 77 (3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl, C(12)H(6)Cl(4)), a dioxin-like PCB congener, is described. The dihedral angle of PCB 77 is 43.94(6) degrees, which is slightly larger than calculated or experimental dihedral angles of biphenyl derivatives in solution but smaller than experimental dihedral angles in the gas phase.

Biodegradation of coplanar polychlorinated biphenyls by anaerobic microorganisms from estuarine sediments.
In this study, we investigated the biodegradability of biphenyl and 5 congeners (one non-planar and four coplanar) of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB). Biphenyl, the non-planar congener 2,3',4',5-tetrachlorobiphenyl (25-34 CB), and the four coplanar congeners 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (34-34 CB), 3,4,4',5-tetrachlorobiphenyl (345-4 CB), 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (345-34 CB), and 3,3',4,...

This study examined the changes in cellular glucose uptake induced by 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) as measured by quantification of intracellular radioactivity in the NIH 3T3 L1 preadipocyte cell line after a 30-minute incubation with the non-metabolizable radioactive analogue of glucose, 3-O-methyl-D-[1-3H] glucose. Treatment of differentiated NIH 3T3 L1 cells with TCDD produced ...
متن کاملEffects of 2,2',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl on granulocytic HL-60 cell function and expression of cyclooxygenase-2.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental contaminants that affect a number of cellular systems, including neutrophils. It has been demonstrated that noncoplanar PCBs (i.e., ortho- substituted PCBs) alter function of primary rat neutrophils. The objectives of these experiments were to determine if responses in a human, neutrophil-like cell line exposed to PCBs were similar t...
متن کاملLevels of non-ortho-substituted (coplanar), mono- and di-ortho-substituted polychlorinated biphenyls, dibenzo-p-dioxins, and dibenzofurans in human serum and adipose tissue.
We have measured non-ortho-substituted (coplanar) polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) levels as well as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) and polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDF) levels in human adipose tissue and serum collected in Atlanta, Georgia. The results show that the concentrations of the coplanar PCBs can be more than an order of magnitude higher than the concentrations of 2,3,7,8-tet...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species from the uncoupling of human cytochrome P450 1B1 may contribute to the carcinogenicity of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as probable human carcinogens. A subset of PCBs are described as 'dioxin like' because of similarities to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. Dioxin-like PCBs have been shown to tightly bind the active site of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A isoforms, primarily CYP1A1, resulting in inhibition of CYP act...
