| Abstract | Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of mutagenic environmental contaminants, induce toxicity through both metabolic activation and light irradiation. Pyrene, one of the most widely studied PAHs, along with its mono-substituted derivatives, 1-amino, 1-bromo, 1-hydroxy, and 1-nitropyrene, were chosen to study the effect of substituents on their phototoxicity, DNA damage and repair. Both alkaline Comet assay, which detects direct DNA damage, and Fpg endonuclease Comet assay, which detects oxidative DNA damage, were conducted at 0, 2, 4, 8, and 24 h of incubation of the cells in a minimal growth medium after concomitant exposure to pyrene derivatives and UVA light. All these compounds are photocytotoxic and the phototoxicity is both incubation time and PAH dose dependent; whereas those without light are not toxic. The LC50 obtained are in the range of 3.5–9.3 μM. Cellular DNA damage, both direct and oxidative, is observed immediately after the cells are treated with UVA light and the pyrene derivatives at a concentration of 1.0 μM. The amount of DNA damage (both direct and oxidative) increases from 0 to 4 h of incubation. After 4 hours, subsequent damage induction declines, and this is perceived to be mainly through DNA repair. After longer incubation of 8 h, the damaged cellular DNA starts to be repaired, resulting in a greatly reduced amount of DNA damage, and the DNA damage reaches the minimum at 24 h of incubation. 1-Aminopyrene and 1-hydroxypyrene cause more DNA oxidative damage immediately after the exposure (0 h of incubation), and these damages are repaired within the same timeframe as the other tested compounds. The oxidative DNA damage caused by 1-bromopyrene is repaired starting at 2 h of incubation, earlier than the damage caused by all the other compounds. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
