This study is part of an ongoing investigation of biomarkers in iron foundry workers exposed to polycyclic aromatic compounds. Foundry workers with the highest exposures had elevated levels of DNA adducts in their white blood cells in previous studies. The purpose of this study was to characterize the nature of DNA reactive chemicals in foundry air samples through incubating the foundry filter extract with DNA and activation enzymes. Calf thymus DNA was incubated with foundry filter extract and activated by either rat liver activation mixture (S9 mix) or
xanthine oxidase
. A complex pattern of adducts was observed on thin-layer chromatography (TLC) by the 32P-postlabeling assay. Two selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)--1-NP-and anti(+/-)benzo[a]pyrene-trans-7,8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxide [anti(+/-) BPDE]-DNA adducts--were used as marker compounds in characterizing the postlabeled DNA adducts by TLC combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). After an initial separation of DNA adducts by TLC, individual spots were isolated and separated further on HPLC. HPLC analysis and spiking with anti(+/-)BPDE-DNA standard confirmed the co-migration of the anti(+/-)BPDE-DNA standard with one PAH adduct formed by the S9 mix-activated
DCM
extract in calf thymus DNA.

In this study, two novel phthalocyanine complexes were synthesized using their corresponding metal salts and 4-(4-(3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acryloyl)phenoxy)phthalo-nitrile as chalcone ligand (4), which was prepared from the reaction of 4-nitrophthalonitrile with 4-hydroxyphenyl-3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (3). These metallophthalocyanines showed good solubility in organic solvents such as CDCl

,
DCM
, THF, DMF, and DMSO. The novel phthalocyanine compounds 4a (Pc-Zn) and 4b (Pc-Co) were characterized using their UV-vis, FT-IR,
1
H NMR,
13
C NMR, and MALDI-TOF mass spectra and elemental analysis. Then the DNA-binding and
xanthine oxidase
and carbonic anhydrase-I inhibition properties of compounds 4a and 4b were investigated. Photochemical properties (such as singlet oxygen generation and photodegradation) of this novel chalcone phthalocyanine (4a) were determined in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
