2',3'-Allylic epoxide derivatives of allylbenzene and its analogs estragole, eugenol, and safrole were synthesized, and their enzymatic conversion to dihydrodiols by cytosolic and microsomal epoxide hydrolases was examined.

Epoxidation at the allylic side chain is a major metabolic pathway for allylbenzene and its naturally occurring analogs safrole, estragole, and eugenol.
Epoxide hydrolases can prevent the binding of allylbenzene 2',3'-oxide to DNA in vitro.

We were interested in the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity caused by methyleugenol and other alkenylbenzene compounds: safrole (a known hepatocarcinogen), eugenol, and isoeugenol.
