4-(Ethylnitrosoamino)butanoic acid

Description:
4-(Ethylnitrosoamino)butanoic acid, identified by its CAS number 54897-63-1, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of nitrosoamines, which are known for their potential carcinogenic properties. This compound features a butanoic acid backbone with an ethylnitrosoamino group, which contributes to its reactivity and biological activity. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. The presence of the nitroso group makes it susceptible to various chemical reactions, including oxidation and reduction processes. In biological systems, nitrosoamines can undergo metabolic activation, leading to the formation of reactive intermediates that can interact with cellular macromolecules, potentially resulting in mutagenic effects. Due to these properties, compounds like 4-(Ethylnitrosoamino)butanoic acid are of significant interest in toxicology and cancer research. Handling this substance requires caution due to its potential health risks, and it is typically studied under controlled laboratory conditions.
