Adducts of organolead(IV) and organothallium(III) chlorides with N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)nickel(II) and bis(β-mercaptoethylamine)nickel(…

Abstract Novel 1/1 adducts of organolead(IV) and organothallium(III) chlorides with the complexes N,N′-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)nickel(II) and bis(β-mercaptoethylamine)nickel(II) have been synthesized. Their configurations have been investigated in the solid state by IR and electronic spectroscopy and by magnetic measurements.
Complexes of organometallic compounds

Abstract Novel 1/1 adducts have been obtained from the complex N , N ′-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)nickel(II) (NiSalen) with di- and mono-organotin(IV) chlorides, and their solid state configuration investigated by Mossbauer , IR and electronic spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. In coordinated NiSalen the square planar structure is maintained around Ni II , and the coordination to tin involves three-coordinate phenolic oxygens. The environment of Sn IV is judged to be octahedral in both types of compounds. A trans -R 2 , cis -Cl 2 configuration is advanced for R 2 SnCl 2 NiSalen.
The nucleotide excision repair protein XPC is essential for bulky DNA adducts to promote interleukin-6 expression via the activation of p38-SAPK
2016
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental pollutants, and many are potent carcinogens. Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), one of the best-studied PAHs, is metabolized ultimately to the genotoxin anti-B[a]P-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE). BPDE triggers stress responses linked to gene expression, cell death and survival. So far, the underlying mechanisms that initiate these signal transduction cascades are unknown. Here we show that BPDE-induced DNA damage is recognized by DNA damage sensor proteins to induce activation of the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) p38. Surprisingly, the classical DNA damage response, which involves the kinases ATM and ATR, is not involved in p38-SA…
Characterization of highly polar DNA adducts derived from dibenz[A,H]anthracene (DBA), 3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-DBA, and 3,4,10,11-tetrahydroxy-3,4,…
1993
Two highly polar DNA adducts were found after metabolic activation of 3,4,10,11-tetrahydroxy-3,4,10,11-tetrahydrodibenz[ a,h]anthracene(DBA-3,4;10, 11-bisdiol) by liver microsomes isolated from male Sprague-Dawley rats pretreated with Aroclor 1254 in presence of calf thymus DNA. These DNA adducts could be assigned to the metabolites of dibenz[ a,h]anthracene (DBA), of 3R,4R,10R,11R-tetrahydroxy-3,4,10,11-tetrahydro-DBA and of 3R,4R,10S,US-tetrahydroxy-3,4,10,11-tetrahydro-DBA. DNA adducts derived from metabolites of 3S,4S,10S,11S-tetrahydroxy-3,4,10,11-tetrahydro-DBA were not found. These highly polar adducts also could be detected by reversed phase HPLC after incubation of dibenz[ a,h]ant…
Metabolic Activation of the (+)-S,S- and (−)-R,R-Enantiomers of trans-11,12-Dihydroxy-11,12-dihydrodibenzo[a,l]pyrene: Stereoselectivity, DNA Adduct…
1997
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons require metabolic activation in order to exert their biological activity initiated by DNA binding. The metabolic pathway leading to bay or fjord region dihydrodiol epoxides as ultimate mutagenic and/or carcinogenic metabolites is thought to play a dominant role. For dibenzo[a,l]pyrene, considered as the most potent carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, the formation of the fjord region syn- and/or anti-11,12-dihydrodiol 13,-14-epoxide (DB[a,l]PDE) diastereomers has been found to be the principal metabolic activation pathway in cell cultures leading to DNA adducts. In order to further elucidate the stereoselectivity involved in this activation pathway…
Characterization of DNA adducts at the bay region of dibenz[a,h]anthracene formed in vitro
1993
Bay region diolepoxide-DNA adducts of dibenz[a,h]anthracene (DBA) formed in vitro were identified and their absolute stereochemistry was assigned. After activation of [5,12-14C]DBA with liver microsomes obtained from Aroclor 1254 treated male Sprague-Dawley rats in the presence of calf thymus DNA for 1 h, the amount of DNA adducts was found to be 9.9 +/- 2.4 pmol/mg DNA, calculated on the basis of the portion of radioactivity eluted from the HPLC reversed-phase column with a water/acetonitrile gradient. Bay region diolepoxide-DNA adducts represented 27.5% of radioactivity associated with DNA adducts. The absolute configuration of the various adducts was determined from the reaction of the (…
In vivo formation of aflatoxin B1-DNA adducts in parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells of rat liver
1992
The induction of hepatocellular carcinoma from liver parenchymal cells in laboratory animals by aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is well documented. In contrast no tumours arising from the sinusoidal cell population have been reported after exposure to AFB1. The apparent resistance of the latter cell type was investigated at the level of DNA adduct formation in vivo in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Liver parenchymal and non-parenchymal cell populations were isolated from rats at 20 min and 1, 24 and 72 h after administration of 240 microCi (0.6 mg) [G-3H]AFB1/kg. AFB1-DNA binding was observed in both liver cell subpopulations and was 3- to 5-fold higher in parenchymal cells than in non-parenchymal cells. Th…
Characterization of highly polar bis-dihydrodiol epoxide--DNA adducts formed after metabolic activation of dibenz[a,h]anthracene.
1993
Dibenz[a,h]anthracene as well as a biologically important metabolite of dibenz[a,h]anthracene, namely the M-region dihydrodiol trans-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydrodibenz[a,h]anthracene were in addition to further metabolism to a bay region diol epoxide, extensively transformed to a distal bisdihydrodiol, 3,4,10,11-tetrahydroxy-3,4,10,11-tetrahydro-dibenz[a,h]anthracene, which exhibited after renewed metabolic activation high DNA binding efficiency, leading to a new class of very polar DNA adducts. After incubation of dibenz[a,h]anthracene with DNA in the presence of liver microsomes from Aroclor 1254 treated male Sprague-Dawley rats highly polar DNA adducts probably originating from 3R,4R,10R,11…
Covalent DNA adducts formed in mouse epidermis by benzo(g)chrysene
1996
The metabolic activation in mouse skin of benzo[g]chrysene (B[g]C), a moderately carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) present in coal tar, was investigated. Male Parkes mice were treated topically with 0.5 micromol B[g]C and DNA was isolated from the treated areas of skin at various times after treatment and analysed by 32P-post-labelling. Seven major adduct spots were detected, at a maximum level of 6.55 fmol adducts/microg DNA. Mouse skin treated with the PAH benzo[c]phenanthrene (B[c]Ph) gave a total of 0.24 fmol adducts/microg DNA. B[g]C-DNA adducts persisted in skin for at least 3 weeks. Treatment of mice with 0.5 micromol of the optically pure putative proximate carcinog…
Ethoxyquin feeding to rats increases liver microsome-catalyzed formation of benzo(a)pyrene diol epoxide--DNA adduct.
1978
Abstract The ability of rat liver microsomes to catalyze the formation of benzo(a)pyrene 7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide — DNA nucleoside adduct was increased threefold by feeding 0.5% ethoxyquin to the animals. Microsomal epoxide hydratase activity was enhanced i parallel by a factor of 3 while aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity was not induced. Liver microsomes from rat pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene produced an increased proportion of diol epoxide — DNA adduct when ethoxyquin had been fed to the animals. The main chromatographic peak formed by microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene treated rats which contains DNA adducts of secondary benzo(a)pyrene phenol metabolites is reduced when the ani…
