Benz[j]aceanthrylene

Description:

Benz[j]aceanthrylene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) characterized by its complex fused ring structure, which consists of five interconnected aromatic rings. This compound is known for its planar geometry and high stability due to the delocalization of π-electrons across the aromatic system. Benz[j]aceanthrylene exhibits strong fluorescence properties, making it of interest in various applications, including organic electronics and photonics. It is typically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is a common trait among PAHs. The compound is also recognized for its potential environmental persistence and toxicity, raising concerns regarding its impact on human health and ecosystems. As with many PAHs, it can be formed through incomplete combustion processes and is often found in fossil fuels and urban air pollution. Due to its structural characteristics, benz[j]aceanthrylene may also serve as a model compound for studying the behavior of larger PAHs in biological systems and their interactions with cellular components.

Benz[j]aceanthrylene and Benz[e]aceanthrylene (70:30 Mixture) are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that have been shown to cause cancer in animals. They can be metabolized to covalent adducts with nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. These adducts have been found in the liver cells of rats treated with these compounds. The hl-60 cells were also found to be sensitive to these compounds, which may be due to their ability to induce tumour suppressor protein p53. In addition, benz[j]aceanthrylene and benz[e]aceanthrylene (70:30 Mixture) are genotoxic chemicals that can damage DNA by causing mutations or inhibiting replication of DNA strands. Benz[j]aceanthrylene and benz[e]aceanthrylene (70:30 Mixture) also react readily with rat liver microsomes. This reaction leads
