✦ 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
