It is activated by microsomal enzymes to a diol epoxide metabolite that binds covalently to DNA in mammalian cells, leading to tumor induction.
Used in Cancer Studies:
In the study of the effects of Cimicifuga racemosa (CR) extract on the growth of mammary tumors, 7,12-DIMETHYLBENZ[A]ANTHRACENE is used as an initiator to induce mammary tumors in rat liver.
Used in Skin Cancer Research:
7,12-DIMETHYLBENZ[A]ANTHRACENE is used as an initiator to cause skin cancer in CD-1 mouse models, allowing researchers to compare the anti-carcinogenic properties of various substances.
Used in Oral Cancer Research:
7,12-DIMETHYLBENZ[A]ANTHRACENE is used to induce epithelial carcinogenicity in the cheek pouch of the Syrian hamster, enabling the study of apoptotic, proliferating, and p12doc-1 profiles of normal, hyperplastic, dysplastic, and malignant oral epithelium.
Used in Mammary Tumor Studies:
7,12-DIMETHYLBENZ[A]ANTHRACENE is used to cause mammary tumors in order to examine the causes and prevention of triacylglycerol accumulation in rat liver due to tamoxifen treatment.

Biochem/physiol Actions

7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene has been found to be cytotoxic in nature, having carcinogenic properties. It also shows selective necrosis and hemorrhaging in the adrenal gland along with an inhibitory effect on plasma alkaline phosphatase levels. Its damaging effects are due to its ability to form charge transfer complexes by donating electrons to appropriate electron acceptors.

Safety Profile

Suspected carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic, neoplastigenic, tumorigenic, and teratogenic data. A transplacental carcinogen. Poison by ingestion, intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, and intratracheal routes. Other experimental reproductive effects. Human mutation data reported. A skin irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.

Purification Methods

Purify DMBA by chromatography on alumina/toluene or *benzene. Crystallise it from acetone/EtOH. [Beilstein 5 IV 2587.]
