Abstract excerpt
Methylation of the non-carcinogen 15,16-dihydrocyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-one (CPP-17-one) at the bay region to form 11-CH3-CPP-17-one confers carcinogenic potential. In the present study we have investigated the in vitro metabolism and mutagenicity of the methylated compound by hepatic microsomal preparations from rats pretreated with various prototype inducers of cytochrome P450 proteins in order to provide a...
