Compound Description	Pyrene is a colorless solid, solid and solutions have a slight blue fluorescence. Used in biochemical research. Pyrene is an ortho- and peri-fused polycyclic arene consisting of four fused benzene rings, resulting in a flat aromatic system. It has a role as a fluorescent probe and a persistent organic pollutant. Pyrene is a parent class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons containing four fused rings. Pyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon consisting of four fused benzene rings, resulting in a flat aromatic system. The chemical formula is C16H10. This colourless solid is the smallest peri-fused PAH . Pyrene forms during incomplete combustion of organic compounds. Although it is not as problematic as benzopyrene, animal studies have shown pyrene is toxic to the kidneys and the liver.

toxicity summary

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Pyrene is a solid. It can be used as an additive in electro-insulating oils as well as in epoxy resins for electrical insulation. Optical brighteners can be synthesized by reaction of pyrene with a complex of cyanuric chloride and aluminum chloride. Pyrene itself can serve as an electron donor to enhance the blackness in pencil leads. It is also used in biochemical research. HUMAN EXPOSURE AND TOXICITY: Exposure to the sun may provoke an irritating effect of pyrene on skin and lead to chronic skin discoloration. Pyrene, but not related polyaromatic hydrocarbons, enhanced basal transcription of the human and mouse IL-4 promoter. ANIMAL STUDIES: Dermal exposure to 10 g/kg was not lethal in mice. Inhalation caused pathological changes in hepatic, pulmonary, and intragastric tissue and a decrease in the number of neutrophils, leukocytes, and erythrocytes. No blastomogenic or carcinogenic effects were noted, except for an occasional papilloma. Some teratogenic effects were noted. Pyrene induced mutations and unscheduled DNA synthesis in some in vitro assays in mammalian cells. There is limited evidence that pyrene is active in short-term assays. ECOTOXICITY STUDIES: There was an interaction between pyrene and the thyroid system in fish. In rockfish, pyrene exposure impaired skeleton development via disrupting the proliferation of the chondrocytes. Embryonic exposure of zebrafish to low-level environmental pyrene disrupted normal cardiac development and altered expression of defective cardiac differentiation related genes. Pyrene might be a contributor to the behavioral and neuro-developmental toxicity in pufferfish. in the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus pyrene was found to cause a dose dependant decrease in lactate and the concentrations of the saturated fatty acids tetradecanoic, hexadecanoic and octadecanoic acid and an increase in production of the amino acids alanine, leucine, valine, isoleucine, lysine, tyrosine and methionine. It is proposed that this indicates impaired glucose metabolism, with an associated increase in fatty acid metabolism and changes in TCA cycle intermediates.The ability of PAH's to bind to blood proteins such as albumin allows them to be transported throughout the body. Many PAH's induce the expression of cytochrome P450 enzymes, especially CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP1B1, by binding to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor or glycine N-methyltransferase protein. These enzymes metabolize PAH's into their toxic intermediates. The reactive metabolites of PAHs covalently bind to DNA and other cellular macromolecules, initiating mutagenesis and carcinogenesis.

symptoms
