Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) Standards

Applications 9,10-Dichlorophenanthrene is a chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (Cl-PAH) found in the urban environment, known to display dioxin-like toxicity and mutagenicity. References Ma, J., et al.: Adv. Mat. Res., 610, 2989 (2013); Ma, J., et al.: Environ. Sci. Technol., 43, 643 (2009)

Applications trans-7,8-Dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene is a metabolite of Benzopyrene (B205800). Benzo[a]pyrene (B205800), a prototypic PAH, is metabolized by cytochrome P 450 1A1/1B1. (-)-trans-7,8-Dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene (D452280) undergoes further P 4501A1/1B1-mediated metabolism to a carcinogen, which forms DNA-adducts primarily with 2'-deoxyguanosine. A carcinogen. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Gelhaus, S. et al: Chem. Res. Toxicol., 24, 89 (2011); Belvedere, G. et al.: Biochem. Pharmacol., 29, 1693 (1980); Jennette, K. et al.: Biochem. Pharmacol., 28, 338 (1979); Yagi, H. et al.: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 99, 2358 (1977)

Applications Perylene has been used as an acceptor for pristine C70 to be used as a sensitizer for efficient triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion; which has shown improved stability under continuous laser irradiation compared to the benchmark Pt(II)-ocetaethylprphyrin. Perylene has also been used as a dopant representing blue fluorescent dye on a white-emitting polymer film. Dyes and metabolites. References Moor, K., et. al.: Chem. Commun., 49, 10829 (2013); Sakai, K., et. al.: J. Mater. Chem-C, 1, 7866 (2013)

Applications 6-Nitro-1-pyrenol is a urinary hydroxylated metabolites used as a biomarkers of exposure of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. References Toriba, A., et al.: J. Health. Sci., 53; 631 (2007); Chae, Y.H., et al.: Cancer Res., 59, 1473 (1999);

Applications A metabolite of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in humans. References Jacob, J., et al.: Xenobiotica, 12, 45 (1982), Becher, G., et al.: Cancer Lett., 17, 301 (1983), Hoffmann, D., et al.: Cancer Treat. Res., 72, 1 (1995), Einolf, H., et al.: Chem. Res. Toxicol., 10, 609 (1997),

Applications Benzo[a]fluoren-11-one is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that has potential carcinogenic properties. It is a common organic substance found in aerosols, atmospheric air and gasoline exhausts. References Bekki, K., et al.: J. Health Sci., 55, 601 (2009); Moeller, M., et al.: Mutat. Res. Gen. Toxicol.
