The metabolism of 7-methylbenz(a)anthracene by rat-liver preparations and by mouse skin has been studied using a combination of thin-layer and high pressure liquid chromatography and all five possible trans-dihydrodiols have been detected as metabolites but in different proportions. The roles of these dihydrodiols and of the related vicinal diol-epoxides in the metabolic activation of 7-methylbenz(a)anthracene in mouse skin has been studied using Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The results show that the hydrocarbon-nucleic acid products formed in mouse skin in vivo most probably arise from 3,4-dihydro-3,4-dihydroxy-7-methylbenz(a)anthracene 1,2-oxide which, on the basis of this and other evidence, appears to be the reactive intermediate involved in the metabolic activation of 7-methylbenz(a)anthracene in this tissue.
