8-HYDROXYBENZO[A]PYRENE

Description:

8-Hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that is recognized for its complex structure and potential biological activity. It is derived from benzo[a]pyrene, a well-known carcinogen, with the addition of a hydroxyl group at the 8-position. This modification can influence its chemical reactivity and biological interactions. The compound is typically found in environmental samples, particularly in areas affected by combustion processes, such as urban atmospheres and industrial sites. Its characteristics include being a solid at room temperature, with a relatively low solubility in water but higher solubility in organic solvents. 8-Hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene is of interest in toxicology and environmental chemistry due to its potential mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, which are linked to its ability to form DNA adducts. The study of this compound is crucial for understanding the health risks associated with PAHs and their derivatives, as well as for developing strategies to mitigate exposure in contaminated environments.
