  • Note
    Research use only, not for human use.
  • Brief Description
    7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene is a highly potent carcinogen that is activated by microsomal enzymes to a diol epoxide metabolite that binds covalently to DNA in mammalian cells, leading ultimately to tumor induction.
  • Description
    7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has been found in tobacco smoke and diesel exhaust and has carcinogenic activity.It undergoes metabolic activation by numerous enzymes, including the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoform CYP1B1, as well as microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH), producing a variety of reactive metabolites that form DNA adducts in vivo, and it has been commonly used to induce tumor formation in various rodent models.DMBA increases proliferation and migration of, and induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in, MCF-10A breast cancer cells when used at a concentration of 5 μM.It also has immunosuppressant activity, inhibiting proliferation of isolated mouse splenic B- and T cells stimulated ex vivo with LPS or concanavalin A, respectively, when administered at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg.Intragastric administration of DMBA (20 mg/animal) induces formation of mammary gland tumors in rats.
