Substituted benz[a]acridines and benz[c]acridines as mammalian topoisomerase poisons.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. 8(5) , 1171-82, (2000)

Coralyne and several other synthetic benzo[a,g]quinolizium derivatives related to protoberberine alkaloids have exhibited activity as topoisomerase poisons. These compounds are characterized by the presence of a positively charged iminium group, which has bee...

On the metabolic activation of benz[a]acridine and benz[c]acridine by rat liver and lung microsomes.

Cancer Lett. 16(3) , 297-306, (1982)

The metabolism of benz[a]- and benz[c]acridine by liver and lung microsomes from untreated, phenobarbital (PB)-treated and benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF)-treated rats has been studied by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Epoxidation and hydrolysis of ...

Experimental studies on the carcinogenicity of five nitrogen containing polycyclic aromatic compounds directly injected into rat lungs.

Cancer Lett. 20(1) , 97-101, (1983)

Using a beeswax/tricaprylin mixture as vehicle, three doses each of acridine, benz[a]acridine (BaAC), benz[c]acridine (BcAC), dibenz[a,h]-acridine (DBa,hAC) and dibenz[a,j]acridine (DBa,jAC) were injected into the lungs of 35 female Osborne-Mendel rats per gr...

The accumulation and disposition of benz(a)acridine in the fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas.

Arch. Environ. Contam. Toxicol. 10(5) , 561-9, (1981)

The bioconcentration and metabolism of benz(a)acridine in fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) was investigated using 14C-labelled benz(a)acridine. The rates of uptake, elimination, and metabolic transformation of benz(a)acridine were estimated in the fish. ...

Induction of the rat hepatic microsomal mixed-function oxidases by two aza-arenes. A comparison with their non-heterocyclic analogues.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 37(23) , 4565-71, (1988)

The ability of the aza-aromatic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 10-azobenz(a)pyrene and benz(a)acridine to induce the rat hepatic microsomal mixed-function oxidases was compared to that of their non-heterocyclic analogues benz(a)pyrene and benz(a)anthracene ...

Heteroatom effects in chemical carcinogenesis: effects of ring heteroatoms on ease of carbocation formation.

Cancer Biochem. Biophys. 7(1) , 53-60, (1983)

The presence of a heteroatom can influence the ease with which a PAH diol-epoxide forms a triol carbocation. The influence of the heteroatom should be greatest when it is located where the PAH undergoes maximum charge change upon ionization. Extended Hückel, ...

Differentiated genotoxic response of carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic benzacridines and metabolites in rat hepatoma cells.

Carcinogenesis 6(3) , 455-7, (1985)

Two closely related hepatoma cell lines were examined for their genotoxic response to benacridines and their metabolites by the appearance of alkaline labile DNA sites: H5, a dedifferentiated line expressing cytochrome P-448-dependent mono-oxygenase(s); and H...

Diverse biological activities displayed by phenothiazines, benzo[a]phenothiazines and benz[c]acridins (review).

Anticancer Res. 13(4) , 1019-25, (1993)

This review summarizes our experiments which are investigating the relationship between the structure and activity of mainly phenothiazines, benzo[a]phenothiazines and benz[c]acridines. Phenothiazines had potent antiplasmid and antibacterial activities, but i...
