General description

1-Hydroxypyrene, as a urinary metabolite, is a marker of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) exposure. 1-Hydroxypyrene is an important biomarker of exposure to pyrene.

Application

1-Hydroxypyrene is suitable for use in following studies:
  • To investigate the fast detection and quantification of 1-hydroxypyrene in tissue extracts from Nereis diversicolor exposed to sediment-associated pyrene by a simple fluorometric method.
  • To investigate the effects of genetic polymorphisms of the cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and 2E1 (CYP2E1) and glutathione S-transferases mu (GSTM1) and theta (GSTT1) on urinary 1-hydroxypyrene and 2-naphthol levels in aircraft maintenance workers.
  • To examine the the PAH exposure of cokery workers in an Estonian oil shale processing plant.

Human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be assessed by biomonitoring of their urinary monohydroxylated metabolites (OH-PAHs). Limited information exists on the human pharmacokinetics of OH-PAHs. This study aimed to investigate the excretion half-life of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-PYR), the most
