4-Nitropyrene

Description:

4-Nitropyrene is an organic compound classified as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with a nitro group (-NO2) substituent. Its chemical formula is C16H11N O2, and it is known for its yellow crystalline appearance. This compound is primarily used in research and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals. 4-Nitropyrene is recognized for its potential environmental and health impacts, as it can be formed during the incomplete combustion of organic materials. It is considered a mutagen and has been studied for its carcinogenic properties. The compound is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which affects its behavior in environmental contexts. Due to its stability and persistence, 4-nitropyrene can accumulate in the environment, raising concerns about its ecological effects. Safety measures should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose risks through inhalation or skin contact. Overall, 4-nitropyrene serves as an important subject of study in environmental chemistry and toxicology.

4-Nitropyrene is a potent carcinogen that binds to the heme of cytochrome P450 and inhibits its activity. This chemical has been shown to inhibit the metabolism of nitroarenes, which are compounds that have been shown to cause cancer in animals. 4-Nitropyrene also produces genotoxic effects on cells in culture by causing DNA damage, including strand breaks, adduct formation, and the formation of pyrimidine dimers. 4-Nitropyrene acts as a tumor promoter in animal models by inducing lung tumors and inhibiting cell differentiation. This chemical is metabolized extensively with metabolic profiles being dependent on the tissue type examined. The analytical methods for this chemical include gas chromatography/mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Nitrite ion (NO2) is an important metabolite that can be measured using a colorimetric assay.
