Abstract excerpt
Hydroxylation of meso-methyl groups with subsequent formation of reactive benzylic esters bearing a good leaving group (e.g. sulfate) was proposed as a possible biochemical mechanism of activation and tumorigenicity of methyl-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In support of this postulation, recent studies have demonstrated the formation by rodent hepatic sulfotransferase activity of...
