Nitropyrene, a mutagenic and carcinogenic component of diesel exhaust, has been shown to be a potent bacterial and mammalian mutagen. There is, however, some controversy regarding the genotoxic effects of 1-nitropyrene towards yeast. To obtain insights into the mechanisms of

1-nitropyrene, the most abundant nitro polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in diesel emissions, has been found to react with DNA to form predominantly N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-1-aminopyrene (dGAP). This bulky adduct has been shown to induce genetic mutations, which may implicate Y-family DNA polymerases in

Femtosecond broadband transient absorption experiments of 1-nitropyrene, a nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon of environmental concern are presented in cyclohexane and hexane solutions. The transient absorption spectra show the presence of three species that are assigned to the Franck-Condon excited lowest singlet

1-Nitropyrene (1-NP) is a nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (nitro-PAH) present in diesel exhaust and bound to particular matter in urban air. We show that 1-NP and the referent PAH benzo(a)pyrene (BP) induce apoptosis and a lipid accumulation dependent on cytochrome P450

Toxicology letters, 184(2), 126-133 (2008-12-02)
Nitropyrene (1-NP) is classified as Group 2B carcinogen and is one of the main components of diesel exhaust particles (DEP), which are generated from incomplete combustion of automobile engines to cause human cancer or inflammatory diseases. Although many reports on
