Assessment of individual peculiarities of carcinogen metabolism in the body opens up new vistas in predicting individual sensitivity to these agents. The authors developed a spectrofluorometric [correction of spectrofluorescence] technique to assay concentrations of carcinogenic benzo(a)-pyrene (BP) metabolite (7,8-BP) and a product of its detoxication (3-BP) in excreta of male rats who had been given a single dose of 200 mg/kg of benzo(a)pyrene intraperitoneally. Ten-thirty times daily variations in individual levels of both metabolites were accompanied by less variation in their total amount. Parameters of BP metabolism perhaps can be used for predicting individual risk of BP-induced tumor development.

D001564 Benzo(a)pyrene A potent mutagen and carcinogen. It is a public health concern because of its possible effects on industrial workers, as an environmental pollutant, an as a component of tobacco smoke. 3,4-Benzopyrene,3,4-Benzpyrene,3,4 Benzopyrene,3,4 Benzpyrene
D001580 Benzopyrenes A class of chemicals that contain an anthracene ring with a naphthalene ring attached to it. Benzpyrene
D001711 Biotransformation The chemical alteration of an exogenous substance by or in a biological system. The alteration may inactivate the compound or it may result in the production of an active metabolite of an inactive parent compound. The alterations may be divided into METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE I and METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE II.
