CAS: 4750-57-6

1-Methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde (MNNCA) is a synthetic fatty acid that has been shown to have genotoxic potential. It is also used as a clinical drug and as a test compound. MNNCA has been found to inhibit the activity of the antioxidant system, which may lead to an increased risk of nitrosative stress and DNA damage. In vitro assays have demonstrated that MNNCA can cause genotoxic effects in cultured cells. Studies using diminazene, a crosslinking agent, have shown that MNNCA can be metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes and this metabolism may lead to pharmacokinetic properties such as protein binding or changes in protein expression.
