Description
Cyclopenta[cd]pyrene is a member of pyrenes.|Cyclopenta[cd]pyrene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that consists of five fused rings and is formed during the incomplete combustion of organic matter. Cyclopenta[c,d]pyrene is primarily found in gasoline engine exhaust. This substance is used in laboratory research as a mutagen and carcinogen. Cyclopenta[c,d]pyrene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05)
Drug Information
Substances that increase the risk of NEOPLASMS in humans or animals. Both genotoxic chemicals, which affect DNA directly, and nongenotoxic chemicals, which induce neoplasms by other mechanism, are included. (See all compounds classified as Carcinogens.)|Chemical agents that increase the rate of genetic mutation by interfering with the function of nucleic acids. A clastogen is a specific mutagen that causes breaks in chromosomes. (See all compounds classified as Mutagens.)

Cyclopenta[cd]pyrene Use and Manufacturing
Acepyrene is a novel constituent discovered that belongs to the pyrene class of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Acepyrene occurs in a large variety of carbon black soots, in cigarette smoke and is the major representative of PAH in car engine exhaust gases.
