6-Methylchrysene
6-Methylchrysene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, has been postulated as a potential carcinogen and may increase the likelihood of developing lung and skin cancer. Due to its carcinogenic properties, this compound is commonly employed in research to investigate the health risks posed by PAH and examine measures to mitigate such threats. Further studies indicate that catabolism of 6-Methylchrysene by enzymes CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 produces deleterious metabolites, implying that these enzymes could possibly contribute to the development of specific cancers. The intricate relationship between 6-Methylchrysene and cancer has encouraged extensive research to comprehend the mechanisms by which it adversely affects human health.
