Characterization of drug-metabolizing systems in hyperplastic nodules from the livers of rats receiving 2-acetylaminofluorene in their diet.

abstract：:The carcinogen N-acetoxy-N-2-acetylaminofluorene reacts with dG and dG-containing nucleotides to give good yields of the C-8 adducts, but the analogous 4-aminobiphenyl derivative does not. Replacement of the N-acetoxy group by 2,6-dichlorobenzoyloxy circumvents this difficulty. This reaction is shown to be generally a...
