Human exposure to the class of nitropolynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons is via inhalation and/or ingestion. Therefore, one of the goals of this study was to determine the propensity of the environmental contaminant 6-nitrochrysene (6-NC) for inducing mammary cancer following its oral

The environmental contaminant 6-nitrochrysene (6-NC) has been shown to induce adenomas and adenocarcinomas in the colons of rats. The present study aimed at providing a better understanding of mechanisms that are responsible for this effect. Three female CD rats were

Chemical research in toxicology, 13(11), 1143-1148 (2000-11-23)
The remarkable carcinogenic activity of 6-nitrochrysene (6-NC) in several animal models, and its environmental presence, suggest its potential importance with regard to human cancer development. Depending on the bioassay model, 6-NC can be activated by simple nitro reduction, ring oxidation
C R Valentine et al.

We have analyzed 41 mRNA-splicing mutants from the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (hprt) gene of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Twenty-two of these mutants produced single cDNA PCR products with a partial or complete exon deletion; 19 mutants produced multiple cDNA PCR
Yuan-Wan Sun et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 22(12), 1992-1997 (2009-11-06)
The environmental pollutant 6-nitrochrysene (6-NC) is a powerful mammary carcinogen and mutagen in rats. Our previous studies have shown that 6-NC is metabolized to trans-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydro-6-nitrochrysene (1,2-DHD-6-NC) in rats and in several in vitro systems, including human breast tissue, and the
