Microsomal metabolites of the carcinogen 15,16-dihydro-11-methylcyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-one (Structure I) were separated by high-pressure liquid chromatography, and their structures were established on the basis of their ultraviolet and mass spectra, together with considerations of their general chemical properties. This was assisted by comparisons with metabolites formed in the same way from the synthetic 15-hydroxy (Structure III), 16-hydroxy (Structure II), and 11-hydroxymethyl (Structure IV) derivatives, which themselves occur as metabolites of Structural I. Products derived from attack at the two benzo-ring double bonds occurred, but no K-region products were found. Only metabolites having a non-bay region 3,4-dihydrodiol system were mutagenic and bound to DNA after in vitro microsomal activation, and it was concluded that the 3,4-dihydro-3,4-diol (Metabolite e) was the main form and that the 3,4-diols of the monools (Structure II to IV) were minor proximate forms of this carcinogen. In a two-stage experiment, the synthetic 16-ol (Structure II) was shown to be almost as carcinogenic as was Structure I itself in mice; the 15-ol (Structure III) and 11-hydroxymethyl derivative (Structure IV) were much less active. The same order was also observed in the mutagenicity of these compounds in the Ames test.
