6-Nitrochrysene

Description:

6-Nitrochrysene is an organic compound classified as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with the chemical formula C15H9N. It is characterized by the presence of a nitro group (-NO2) attached to the chrysene structure, which consists of four fused benzene rings. This compound is typically a yellow to orange solid at room temperature and is known for its potential mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, making it a subject of environmental and health studies. 6-Nitrochrysene is primarily formed through the combustion of organic materials, such as fossil fuels, and can be found in various environmental matrices, including air, soil, and sediments. Its solubility is limited in water but can dissolve in organic solvents, which influences its behavior in environmental contexts. Due to its toxicological profile, 6-nitrochrysene is monitored in environmental assessments and is of concern in studies related to pollution and human health risks associated with exposure to PAHs.

CAS: 7496-02-8

6-Nitrochrysene is a carcinogenic aromatic hydrocarbon that is activated by cytochrome P450 enzymes. It binds to DNA duplexes and causes tumorigenesis in rats. 6-Nitrochrysene is metabolized by rat liver microsomes and induces the production of reactive oxygen species, which are generated during oxidative stress. This compound has been shown to induce the development of tumors in Sprague-Dawley rats after treatment with this chemical in vivo. 6-Nitrochrysene also induces tumor formation in vitro, as seen in experiments using MMCF7 cells.
