The effect of substituted phenothiazines on the mutagenicity of benzo[a]pyrene.
Screening of antioxidants and other compounds for antimutagenic properties towards benzo[a]pyrene-induced mutagenicity in strain TA98 of Salmonella typhimurium.
The influence of alkyl substitution on the in vitro metabolism and mutagenicity of benzo[a]pyrene.
Effect of antioxidants on level of gene mutations induced by benz(a)pyrene in mammalian cellsin vitro
TLDR
It has been shown that PAH which are primarily inactive in their physicochemical properties exhibit their mutagenic and carcinogenic potential only as a result of activation by microsomal enzymes and metabolic oxidation in the mammalian body.
Inhibition in vivo of the formation of adducts between metabolites of benzo(a)pyrene and DNA by butylated hydroxyanisole.
TLDR
BHA appears to inhibit BP-induced pulmonary adenoma formation by inhibiting the amount of the BPDE:DNA adducts formed in lung, and possible mechanisms by which BHA treatment inhibits the formation of BPDe:DNAAdducts are discussed.
Inhibition of the mutagenicity and metabolism of 6-methyl-benzo[a]pyrene and 6-hydroxymethyl-benzo[a]pyrene.
Effect of phenolic antioxidants on the mutagenicity of aflatoxin B1
TLDR
The enhancement of mutagenic potency of AFB1 by phenolic antioxidants suggests a specificity with respect to the chemical nature of USAF1, particularly in studies with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Enhancement and inhibition of benzo[a]pyrene-induced SOS function in E. coli by synthetic antioxidants.
Review: putative mutagens and carcinogens in foods. III. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT).
TLDR
The comutagenic and cocarcinogenic properties of BHT have been demonstrated in tests ranging from the Ames test to cell transformation procedures to in vivo assays, and they are one of the few compounds to have both tumor prophylactic and tumor promoting capacities.
The effects of butylated hydroxytoluene on the in vitro metabolism, DNA-binding and mutagenicity of aflatoxin B1 in the rat.

The effects of antioxidants on the metabolism and mutagenicity of benzo[a]pyrene in vitro.
TLDR
It is suggested that antioxidants exert their protective effect against cancer by inhibiting the formation of carcinogenic metabolites.
Mutagenicity and cytotoxicity of benzo(a)pyrene arene oxides, phenols, quinones, and dihydrodiols in bacterial and mammalian cells.
TLDR
Benzo(a)pyrene 4,5-oxide was the most mutagenic of the compounds tested in both the bacterial and mammalian systems and was extremely cytotoxic to the V79 cells but had no observable toxicity in the bacterial strains.
Prevention of benzo(a)pyrene‐induced mutagenicity by homogeneous epoxide hydratase
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the metabolic pathway responsible for the mutagenicity of both polycyclic hydrocarbons observed in this system proceeds entirely via an epoxidation pathway and that the responsible metabolites are epoxides or species arising from them.
Mutagenicity and cytotoxicity of benzo(a)pyrene benzo-ring epoxides.
TLDR
Four benzo-ring epoxides of the environmental carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene (BP) were tested for mutagenic and cytotoxic activity in 3 strains of Salmonella typhimurium and in Chinese hamster V79 cells.

Effects of Phenothiazines on Protective Systems Against Polycyclic Hydrocarbons
A study was initiated to find compounds which have the capacity to induce high levels of activity of microsomal systems detoxifying polycyclic hydrocarbons. Of a large number of chemicals and dietary…
Structural requirements for the metabolic activation of benzo[a]pyrene to mutagenic products: effects of modifications in the 4,5-, 7,8-, and 9,10-positions.
TLDR
Evaluation of the intrinsic mutagenic activity of 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene 4,5-oxide, benzo[ a]pyrenic 4, 5-oxide and pyrene 4-oxide indicated that saturation or removal of the benzo ring of benzo,[a] pyrene markedly reduces the intrinsicmutagenicity of this K-region arene oxide.

TLDR
It is suggested that epoxides are the important reactive metabolites responsible for the biological effects of these carcinogens4.
