2-Amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline

Description:

2-Amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (CAS 77094-11-2) is a heterocyclic aromatic amine known for its potential role as a carcinogen. This compound features a fused imidazoquinoline structure, which contributes to its chemical stability and reactivity. It is characterized by the presence of two methyl groups at the 3 and 4 positions and an amino group at the 2 position of the imidazoquinoline ring. This structure allows for various interactions with biological macromolecules, particularly DNA, leading to mutagenic effects. 2-Amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline is often formed during the cooking of certain meats at high temperatures, such as grilling or frying, and is of interest in food safety and cancer research. Its solubility properties are generally low in water but can vary in organic solvents. Due to its potential health risks, it is important to monitor exposure levels in food products and understand its metabolic pathways in biological systems.
