Disease relevance of NSC36852

• Three bacterial strains, identified as Alcaligenes sp. strain D-59 and Pseudomonas sp. strains D-87 and D-186, capable of growing on 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN) as the sole source of carbon and energy were isolated from soil samples [1].
• Sphingomonas strain ASU1 was isolated from an industrial wastewater bioreactor and grew on 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN) as the sole carbon/energy source [2].

High impact information on NSC36852

• When incubated with a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compound in artificial seawater, each strain also degraded 2-methylnaphthalene and 1-methylnaphthalene; in addition, one strain, NAG-2N-113, degraded 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene and phenanthrene [3].
• Metabolism of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene by rat liver microsomes and effect of its administration on glutathione depletion in vivo [4].
• An automated extractor-concentrator was used to extract metabolites of naphthalene, 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, and benzo[a]pyrene from serum, bile and liver homogenate of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) [5].
• In the present study, survival time models were developed that explicitly include toxicant exposure duration and concentration to predict time-to-death for grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) exposed to three PAHs (1-ethylnaphthalene, 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, and phenanthrene) commonly found in the water-soluble fraction derived from oil [6].
• Biotransformation of p-xylene and 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene by xylene monooxygenase cloned from a Sphingomonas isolate [2].

Associations of NSC36852 with other chemical compounds

• Aryl sulfate formation in sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) ingesting marine algae (Fucus distichus) containing 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene [7].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of NSC36852

• Determination of mixtures of benzo[a]pyrene, 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene and their metabolites by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection [8].
