| Abstract: | The enantiomers of 7,12-dimethylbenza]anthracene (DMBA) 5,6-epoxide were directly resolved by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with an ionically bonded chiral stationary phase. The absolute configurations of the resolved enantiomers were determined by comparison of circular dichroism spectra of the methanolysis products formed from the epoxide enantiomers with that of a DMBA trans-5,6-dihydrodiol enantiomer of known absolute stereochemistry. DMBA 5R,6S-epoxide is hydrated by rat liver microsomal epoxide hydrolase predominantly (95%) to a 5S,6S-dihydrodiol. The results indicate that the 5S,6S-dihydrodiol formed from the metabolism of DMBA by microsomes prepared from the livers of 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats is predominantly derived from a 5R,6S-epoxide intermediate. |
