Abstract excerpt
Various benzylic alcohols are metabolically activated to electrophilic, potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic sulphuric acid esters. The involved sulphotransferases are not expressed in the cell lines in culture which are commonly used for mutagenicity testing. The liver of adult female rats is very efficient in the bioactivation of 1-hydroxymethylpyrene. The major enzyme involved was purified and identified as...
