Abstract
Incubation of hepatocytes from phenobarbital-pretreated rats with diethylmaleate (DEM) and 1 mM [14C]styrene for 3 to 5 hours did not result in binding of styrene 7,8-oxide (SO) to DNA as determined by ion exchange chromatography of enzymatic digests of DNA. The elution of substantial amounts of radioactivity together with natural nucleosides and bases suggests that styrene is partly metabolized via splitting of the vinyl bond and that incorporation of C1 fragments into DNA is most likely the result of repair DNA synthesis following DNA damage by styrene itself or one of its metabolites.
