Recent studies on the metabolic activation of chemical carcinogens.
نویسنده
چکیده
Xenobiotics continue to be found that are metabolized in mammals to electrophilic reactants that form covalently bound adducts to cellular DNA leading to tumor formation. This discussion will be limited to the following two topics: sulfonation in chemical carcinogenesis and endogenous etheno adducts in DNA.

Metabolic activation and DNA adduct formation of Benzo(a) pyrene by adult and newborn rat skin and liver microsomes
Benzo(a) pyrene is a carcinigen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon which diffuses into the environment from combustion of organic meterials.based on various epidemiological evidences it is related to lung,skin and liver cancer.mutagenicity,and immunosuppressivety are among important biological effects of Benzo(a) pyrene.after absorbtion and distribution in the body,it undergoes epoxidation by cyto...
متن کاملSome historical aspects of N-aryl carcinogens and their metabolic activation.
This limited review of the early studies on the activation of the N-aryl carcinogens was written to provide a background for the current research to be presented at this conference on carcinogenesis by N-aryl compounds. Since the work of the past 10 years is too recent to be judged in a historical sense and because those data are much better known by current investigators, this review is genera...

متن کاملQuantum-chemical studies on mutagenicity of aromatic and heteroaromatic amines.
Arylamines are well-known as widespread industrial and environmental mutagens and carcinogens. Their bioactivity stems from enzymatic metabolic activation to reactive and highly electrophilic intermediates. In this work, computational investigations related to the biological activity of these compounds have been reviewed, especially focusing on studies reporting results from quantum-mechanical ...
