    Species Differences in DNA Damage by Butadiene: Role of Diepoxybutane

    In microsomal incubates 1,3-butadiene (BD) is metabolized by cytochrome P- 450 to its epoxide 1,2-epoxybutene (EB). Further metabolic transformation of the epoxide intermediate by epoxide hydrolase and/or mono...

    Species Differences in Pharmacokinetics, Metabolism, and DNA Binding of Inhaled 1,3-Butadiene

    1,3-Butadiene, a major component in synthetic rubber and adiponitrile manufacture, has been found to produce cancer at multiple anatomic sites in two species of experimental animals. In an inhalation bioassay ...

    Vinyl Acetate, a Structural Analog of Vinyl Carbamate, Fails to Induce Enzyme Altered Foci in Rat Liver

    Contradictory reports on a possible carcinogenicity of vinyl acetate (VAC) have caused concern about the metabolism and toxicity of this compound. Whereas the findings with VAC were negative in an inhalation b...
