CAS 55-18-5: Diethylnitrosamine
Description:Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) is an organic compound classified as a nitrosamine, with the chemical formula C4H10N2O. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. DEN is primarily known for its role as a potent carcinogen, particularly in laboratory studies involving animal models, where it has been linked to the induction of various types of tumors, especially in the liver. The compound is formed through the reaction of nitrites with secondary amines, and it is often used in research to study cancer mechanisms and the effects of chemical carcinogens. Due to its toxicological properties, diethylnitrosamine is handled with caution in laboratory settings, and exposure can occur through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. It is important to note that DEN is regulated in many countries due to its potential health risks, and safety protocols must be followed when working with this substance. Additionally, its presence in the environment can arise from certain industrial processes and the degradation of other nitrosamines.
