General description

This polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is soluble in acetone. It is a non-carcinogenic benzopyrene isomer. Studies report its lack of immunosuppressive activity following in vivo and in vitro exposure.In nature, it is metabolized by strains of C. elegans to 3-benzo[e]Pyrene sulphate, 1-hydroxy-3-benzi[e]pyrenyl sulfate and bezo[e]Pyrene 3-O-ß-glucopyranoside.

Application

Used for studies of immune suppressive activity of bezo[e]Pyrene on antibody response to DNP-Ficoll and sheep erythrocytes and "dispersive liquid -liquid micro extraction” technique by extracting organic compounds from water samples.

The consequences of altered cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase activities in colonic tissue are unknown. As an initial step toward elucidating underlying mechanisms that regulate cytochrome P450 levels in colonic epithelium, we have characterized CYP1A1(3) induction in cultured human colonic cells (Caco-2).
