Description

Picene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with the molecular formula C22H14. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Picene is found in coal tar and is also produced synthetically. Picene is a known carcinogen and has been shown to be mutagenic in bacteria. It has been studied for its potential use in organic electronics and as a building block for other organic materials. Picene has also been investigated for its potential to promote the growth of cancer cells. Picene is studied for its potential to be used in organic electronics, as a building block for other organic materials, and for its potential to promote the growth of cancer cells.'

Bioavailability

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" Due to their general high abundance in lignites and the toxicity observed for the lignite extract, the mechanism-specific toxicity and bioavailability of these compounds were investigated in the present study using the approach of effect-directed analysis."( Mutagenicity, dioxin-like activity and bioaccumulation of alkylated picene and chrysene derivatives in a German lignite.
