General description

6-Nitrobenzo[a]pyrene belongs to the class of nitrated-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, found to be persistent in the environment. It is produced from direct sources such as diesel, gasoline exhaust and by the gas-phase reactions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with oxides of nitrogen.

Two nitroaromatics, 6-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene (6-N-BaP) and 6-nitrochrysene (6-N-CRY), and the corresponding parent hydrocarbons, benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and chrysene (CRY), were studied in in vitro transformation assays with Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) cells, BALB/3T3 and C3H10T1/2 mouse cell lines. The three cell systems

The fungal metabolism of the potent mutagenic and carcinogenic nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (nitro-PAH) 6-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene (6-NO2-BaP) was investigated. Cunninghamella elegans was incubated with 6-NO2-BaP for periods ranging between 1 and 7 d, and the metabolites formed were separated by high-performance liquid
