Much of organic chemistry is based on the ability of suitably structured chemicals to bind together through the formation of covalent bonds. Biochemistry is replete with exam ples of enzymatically catalyzed reactions in which normal body constituen
The finding that chemicals can be metabolically activated to yield reactive chemical species capable of covalently binding to cellular macromolecules and the concept that these reactions could initiate toxicological and carcinogenic events stimulated

Chronic exposure of humans to benzene (BZ) causes acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Both BZ and therapy-related secondary AML are characterized by chromosomal translocations that may occur by inappropriate recombinational events. DNA topoisomerase II (to

Hydroquinone (a major marrow metabolite of the leukemogen, benzene) induces incomplete granulocytic differentiation of mouse myeloblasts to the myelocyte stage, and also causes an increase in the number of myelocytes. This was confirmed using the nor

Although benzene is best known as a compound that causes bone marrow depression leading to aplastic anemia in animals and humans, it also induces acute myelogenous leukemia in humans. The epidemiological evidence for leukemogenesis in humans is contr

Chronic exposure of humans to benzene (BZ) affects hematopoietic progenitor cells in intermediate stages of differentiation which can lead to aplastic anemia and/or acute myelogenous leukemia and some of its variant forms. We studied the effects of B

Chronic exposure of humans to benzene has been shown to have a cytotoxic effect on hematopoietic progenitor cells in intermediate stages of differentiation, which can lead to aplastic anemia and acute myelogenous leukemia. We studied the effect of hy

Chronic exposure of humans to benzene (BZ), a myelotoxin, causes aplastic anemia and acute leukemia. The stromal macrophage that produces interleukin-1 (IL-1), a cytokine essential for hematopoiesis, is a target of BZ's toxicity. Monocyte dysfunction

An enzyme has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from rat liver mitoplasts which metabolizes benzene to phenol. The enzyme has a Mr of 52,000 and requires NADPH, adrendoxin, and adrenodoxin reductase for activity. Benzene hydroxylase activi

Hydroquinone, a metabolite that accumulates in bone marrow following benzene exposure, was oxidized by prostaglandin H synthase (PHS) to 1,4-benzoquinone, which was measured by HPLC with reductive electrochemistry. Hydroquinone metabolism in the pres
