Yellow Solid | [Uses]
A PAH metabolite having a toxic effect on fish bone metabolite. Also, it is used as a marker of the carcinogenic potency of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) mixture. A genotoxic agent. | [Definition]
ChEBI: An ortho-fused polycyclic arene resulting from the symmetrical fusion of the C1-C2 bonds of two naphthalene units. | [Safety Profile]
Questionable carcinogen withexperimental tumorigenic data. Mutation data reported.When heated to decomposition it emits acrid and irritatingfumes. | [Carcinogenicity]
Dermal administration (initiation–
promotion protocols) to mice showed benzo[c]phenanthrene
was a tumor-initiating agent. Repeated dermal
administration in mice or subcutaneous injection into mice
or rats gave results considered to be inadequate for evaluation
(3). Intraperitoneal injection of benzo[c]phenanthrene
into infant mice resulted in a substantial induction of
lung tumors. Seven suspected activated metabolites were
also active, as well as in two-stage mouse carcinogenesis
assays. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise benzo[c]phenanthrene from EtOH, pet ether, or EtOH/Me2CO. [Beilstein 5 III 2378, 5 IV 2552.] |
