  • Title: Estrogenic properties of 3,9-dihydroxybenz[a]anthracene, a potential metabolite of benz[a]anthracene.

    Journal: J Natl Cancer Inst; 1976 Dec; 57(6):1351-4. PubMed ID: 826653.
    Abstract:
    The estrogen receptor binding properties of 3,9-dihydroxybenz[a]anthracene (3,9-diOHBA) were determined in uterine cytosol of immature Sprague-Dawley rats by competitive binding experiments with [3H]estradiol and sucrose density centrifugation. 3,9-DiOHBA inhibited estradiol binding to the 8S binding protein at a concentration (1.2 X 10(-5) M) approximately equal to that of nafoxidine-HCl (3 X 10(-5) M) required to inhibit estradiol-specific binding, and bioassay for estrogenic activity substantiated this finding.
