Ten reactive metabolites of five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and styrene were investigated to determine the generality of ester adduct formation with human hemoglobin in the form of RBC and hydrolysis to the corresponding tetrahydrotetrols or dihydrodiols. No exceptions were noted among the compounds tested, which included the anti-diol epoxides of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), chrysene, and benz[a]anthracene; the syn-diol epoxide of BaP; a mixture of syn- and anti-diol epoxides of benzo[e]pyrene; and epoxides of styrene, benzo[e]pyrene, BaP, and cyclopenta[c,d]pyrene. A test of the propensity of the simplest benzylic epoxide, styrene oxide, to form esters that hydrolyze via a BAL1 mechanism was performed. Hydrolysis of styrene oxide-adducted hemoglobin in H2(18)O at neutral pH yielded 18O incorporation results that suggest this mechanism of hydrolysis is operant to a minor degree in styrene oxide-hemoglobin ester adducts. A method was developed for the isolation and quantification of the polycyclic aromatic alcohols, which consists of enzymatic proteolysis, immunoaffinity chromatography, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or fluorimetry. The method allows for routine analysis of hemoglobin from individual samples as small as 1 ml of whole blood. Analysis of blood from different human populations revealed that hemoglobin adducts of the anti-diol epoxide of BaP dominated the spectrum of adducts formed by the selected metabolites.
