Abstract：
:The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) benzo[ghi]perylene (BghiP) lacks a "classic" bay-region and is therefore unable to form vicinal dihydrodiol epoxides thought to be responsible for the genotoxicity of carcinogenic PAHs like benzo[a]pyrene. The bacterial mutagenicity of BghiP increases considerably after inhibition of the microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) indicating arene oxides as genotoxic metabolites. Two K-region epoxides of BghiP, 3,4-epoxy-3,4-dihydro-BghiP (3,4-oxide) and 3,4,11,12-bisepoxy-3,4,11,12-tetrahydro-BghiP (3,4,11,12-bisoxide) identified in microsomal incubations of BghiP are weak bacterial mutagens in strain TA98 of Salmonella typhimurium with 5.5 and 1.5 his+-revertant colonies/nmol, respectively. After microsomal activation of BghiP in the presence of calf thymus DNA three DNA adducts were detected using 32P-postlabeling. The total DNA binding of 2.1 fmol/microg DNA, representing 7 adducts in 10(7) nucleotides, was raised 3.6-fold when mEH was inhibited indicating arene oxides as DNA binding metabolites. Co-chromatography revealed the identity between the main adduct of metabolically activated BghiP and the main adduct of the 3,4-oxide. DNA adducts of BghiP originating from the 3,4,11,12-bisoxide were not found. Therefore, a K-region epoxide is proposed to be responsible for the genotoxicity of BghiP and possibly of other PAHs without a "classic" bay-region.
