CAS: 3970-40-9

2-Chloro-3-nitrotoluene (2CNT) is a primary site test compound that is used to determine the activity of enzymes that metabolize nitrate. It has been shown to inhibit inorganic nitrate reductase and plant nitrate reductase, which are important enzymes for the transport of nitrogen. The rate of 2CNT degradation increases with increasing temperature, and it is resistant to heat and oxygen. 2CNT also inhibits tobacco N-acetyltransferase, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of nicotine. 2CNT can be used as an inhibitor to study plant physiology because it evaporation occurs rapidly at room temperature.
