Synthesis of the 13 C 2 -labelled analogues of the carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene and its active metabolites is described. The method entails Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of a naphthalene boronic acid with 2-bromobenzene-1,3-dialdehyde followed by Wittig reaction

✦ Synopsis
The concept of stereoselectivity during monooxygenase catalyzed addition of an oxygen atom to the stereoheterotopic faces of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) was initially proposed' on the basis of (a) liver microsomal metabolism studies on naphthalene and (+)-naphthalene 1,2-oxide and (b) synthesis of partially resolved naphthalene 1,2-oxide. Synthesis of optically pure naphthalene-and anthracene 1,2-oxide was subsequently achieved by a combination of short-column chromatography and recrystallization of the trans-2-bromo-l-menthyloxyacetoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro diastereomers of naphthalene and anthracene. 2,3 Recent studies of the metabolically formed transdihydrodiols of the potent carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) have indicated that a high degree of stereoselectivity occurs during their formation. 4 The trans-7,8-dihydrodiol obtained by liver

Ellagic acid, a plant phenol present in various foods consumed by humans, has been reported to have both anti-mutagenic and anticarcinogenic potential. To evaluate the potential anti-carcinogenic property of ellagic acid, we tested its effects on the toxicity of benzo [aj~yrene and benzo[af~yrene, 7
Peroxidatic metabolism of benzo( a ) pyrene-7,S-dihydrodiol by calcium containing extracts of rat uteri was investigated. Covalently bound and soluble metabolites of benzo( a)pyrene-7,S-dihydrodiol were quantitated by radiometry and high performance liquid chromatography, respectively. 1. Uterine ex
