A hydroxychrysene that is chrysene in which the hydrogen at position 6 has been replaced by a hydroxy group. It is a metabolite of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon chrysene.
6-hydroxychrysene inhibits the reaction [Progesterone binds to PGR protein]; [Progesterone co-treated with 6-hydroxychrysene] results in decreased expression of PGR mRNA
UGT1A1 protein results in increased glucuronidation of 6-hydroxychrysene [Methylcholanthrene results in increased expression of UGT1A1 protein] which results in increased glucuronidation of 6-hydroxychrysene
