Metabolism of 1-nitrobenzo(a)pyrene (1-nitro-BaP) by rat liver microsomes yielded 1-nitro-BaP trans-7,8-dihydrodiol, 1-nitro-BaP trans-9,10-dihydrodiol and 1-nitro-BaP 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrotetrol. Formation of these metabolites suggests that a vicinal 7,8,9,10-dihydrodiol-epoxide is a metabolite of 1-nitro-BaP.
