The production by dibenzo[a,e]fluoranthene (DBF) of DNA-protein cross-links in cultured mouse fibroblasts is probably mediated by the activation of proximate metabolites of DBF and not by the DBF molecule itself. In order to test this hypothesis, several agents that enhance or reduce production of the DBF metabolite putatively involved in cross-linking were tested. Increasing NADPH concentrations in the medium enhanced cross-link production; 1,2-epoxy-3,3,3-trichloropropane (TCPO), an inhibitor of epoxide hydrolases, slightly reduced DNA-protein cross-link formation at high concentrations; norharman (NH), an inhibitor of certain steps in the metabolism of DBF, totally blocked cross-linking. The possible involvement of DBF-bisdihydrodiol, a bifunctional metabolite identified in vitro, is discussed. Postincubation in DBF-free medium did not induce a significant reduction in cross-links, indicating that repair did not take place.
Dibenzo[a,e]fluoranthene, its 7-hydroxy, 3,4- and 12,13-dihydrodiol metabolic derivatives as well as three synthetic, structurally related hydrocarbons, were tested for mutagenicity towards Salmonella typhimurium TA100 strain in the presence of 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rat and mouse liver post-mitochondrial supernatants. Of these compounds, the 12,13-dihydrodiol showed the highest activity, being 6-10 times more mutagenic than the parent compound. Our data, in conjunction with those of previous studies on the liver microsomal metabolism and DNA binding of dibenzo[a,e]fluoranthene and its dihydrodiols, indicate that activation of dibenzo[a,e]fluoranthene to bacterial mutagens may occur predominantly through a vicinal, non-bay-region 12,13-dihydrodiol epoxide.
When dibenzo[a,e]fluoranthene (DBF) is incubated in vitro with mouse liver microsomes in the presence of calf thymus DNA, several metabolites bind covalently to DNA. The metabolite-nucleoside adducts were separated by h.p.l.c. after enzymatic hydrolysis. The elution profile of this chromatogram exhibits six main peaks, labeled from A to F in order of decreasing polarity. It was compared to those obtained by direct reaction of DNA with 3,4-dihydroxy-1,2-epoxy 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro DBF (the bay region diol-epoxide) or 12,13-dihydroxy 10,11-epoxy 10,11,12,13-tetrahydro DBF (the pseudo bay region diol-epoxide). In both cases the retention period of the peak of the adduct was identical to that of the main peak E. The fluorescence spectra of these two adducts were similar to those of the corresponding tetrols. When DNA is reacted in the presence of microsomes with 3,4-dihydrodihydroxy DBF, the elution profile of the adducts indicates that vicinal epoxidation of the dihydrodiol and direct reaction is dominant. The metabolic reaction with 12,13-dihydrodihydroxy DBF appears more complex as revealed by the observed number of adducts which correspond to vicinal epoxidation of dihydrodiol as well as further oxidation at other sites.
The effects of norharman (NH) (a putative vicinal diolepoxidation inhibitor in DBF metabolism) on the metabolism of dibenzo[a,e]-fluoranthene (DBF) and on its fixation on DNA, RNA and proteins have been studied in vitro by incubation with S-9 and microsomes from rats and mice. Norharman (a putative vicinal diolepoxidation inhibitor in DBF metabolism) causes a decrease of the activity of microsome monooxygenases proportionally to its concentration but has no effect on the activity of NADPH p450 reductase nor on that of epoxide hydrolase. Paradoxically, the amount of DBF hydrophobic metabolites and especially that of diols and phenols, increases in the incubation mixture in the presence of NH; this increase is independent of the presence of conjugation enzymes of cytosol. Norharman (a putative vicinal diolepoxidation inhibitor in DBF metabolism) does not modify the covalent binding of DBF on the microsome RNA, conversely it decreases the binding of DBF on the DNA and on the proteins of the incubation mixture. This could partly explain the increase of DBF diols and phenols by an accumulative effect. Two higher homologs of NH: benzo[g]-beta carboline and benzo[i]-beta carboline, tested under the same conditions, proved inhibitory.
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Dibenzo(a,e)fluoranthene (DB(a,e)F) is a solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). There is no commercial production or known use of this compound. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: There are no data available. ANIMAL STUDIES: There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of DB(a,e)F. Dibenzofluoranthene-12,13-dihydrodiol is six times more mutagenic in Salmonella TA100 than dibenzofluoranthene-3,4-dihydrodiol. However, these two major DB(a,e)F proximate metabolites, which are immediate precursors of the corresponding diolepoxides, showed on an equimolar basis nearly identical initiation activities on mouse skin; they induced three times more papillomas than the parent hydrocarbon. On the other hand the epithelioma initiation capacities, i.e. the number of papillomas progressing to malignant tumors, of DB(a,e)F or the two dibenzofluoranthene dihydrodiols were equivalent. These data indicate that activation of DB(a,e)F to bacterial mutagens may occur predominantly through a vicinal, non-bay-region 12,13-dihydrodiol epoxide.
There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of dibenzo[a,e]fluoranthene. OVERALL EVALUATION: Dibenzo[a,e]fluoranthene is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).

Nitroarenes are ubiquitous environmental pollutants some of which exhibit mutagenic and tumorigenic activities. The first systematic investigation of the nitration reactions of the polycyclic fluoranthenes, a major class of nonalternant polyarenes, is described. The specific hydrocarbons studied were benz[e]acephenanthrylene (1), benz[a]aceanthrylene (2), indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene (3), indeno[1,2,3-hi]chrysene (4), dibenz[a,e]aceanthrylene (5), dibenz[a,j]aceanthrylene (6), and dibenz[e,k]acephenanthrylene (7). The nitration of all hydrocarbons, except 1, proceeded with remarkable regioselectivity to provide a single mononitro product. In the case of 1, 17 % of a second mononitro isomer was isolated. The structures of the resulting mononitrofluoranthenes (8-15) were fully characterized by analysis of their high-resolution COSY, long-range COSY, and NOESY NMR spectra and by comparison with the spectra of the parent hydrocarbons. The observed nitration sites of the polycyclic fluoranthenes were in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions made by the DEWAR-PI method based on the relative energies of the Wheland intermediates for substitutions at various ring positions. The availability of the complete H-1 chemical shift assignments of the nitropolycyclic fluoranthenes (8-15), together with those of the parent hydrocarbons (1-7) and their UV-visible spectral data, enabled the molecular conformations of the nitro groups to be probed.
