Abstract: | The effect of a series of bromomethylated polycyclic hydrocarbons on in vitro DNA and RNA synthesis has been studied by measurement of the incorporation of 3H]-dTMP or 14C]-AMP into new chains. The inhibition of RNA synthesis was less than 12% for 9-bromomethylanthracene, 9-methyl-10-bromomethylanthracene and 12-bromomethylbenzo(a)acridine, and more than 37% for 7-bromomethylbenzo(a)anthracene, 7,12-dibromomethylbenzo(a)anthracene and 7-bromomethylbenzo(c)acridine. Analogous results were found for the inhibition of DNA synthesis, except for 7-bromomethylbenzo(c)acridine which had little effect. Apart from this exception a good correlation was found between the inhibitory action of the bromo derivatives and the carcinogenicity of the non-halogenated parent hydrocarbons. |
