N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea

Description:

N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) is a potent alkylating agent and a well-known carcinogen, primarily used in laboratory settings for research purposes, particularly in the study of cancer and mutagenesis. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is soluble in water and organic solvents. MNU is characterized by its ability to transfer a methyl group to DNA, leading to mutations that can result in tumor formation. The compound is highly reactive due to the presence of the nitrosourea functional group, which makes it capable of forming covalent bonds with nucleophilic sites in biological molecules. MNU is also known for its relatively low molecular weight and volatility, which necessitates careful handling and storage under controlled conditions to prevent exposure. Due to its carcinogenic properties, it is classified as a hazardous substance, and appropriate safety measures must be taken when working with it in laboratory environments.
