• In-vitro stereoselective metabolism of methylated anthracenes by rat liver microsomes, and the configurations and optical purity of the trans-dihydrodiol metabolites were investigated. Liver microsomes from untreated immature male Sprague-Dawley-rats and from rats pretreated with either 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) or phenobarbital (PB) were incubated with 9-methylanthracene (779022) (9-MA), 9-hydroxymethylanthracene (9-OHMA), or 9,10-dimethylanthracene (781431) (9,10-DMA) for 60 minutes. Metabolites were separated
• The metabolism of the weakly-carcinogenic hydrocarbon, 9,10-dimethylanthracene (DMA) by rat-liver microsomal preparations has been examined. 9-Hydroxymethyl-10-methylanthracene (9-OHMeMA) and 9,10-dihydroxymethyl-anthracene (9,10-DiOHMeA) were identified as metabolites by comparing their chromatographic and spectral properties with those of the authentic compounds. The trans-1,2-dihydro-1,2-dihydroxy derivative of DMA (DMA 1,2-diol) was the major metabolite formed which was identified by its chromatographic, u.v.,
