Beschreibung

2,7-Dinitrofluorene is a nitro compound that is used as an analytical reagent. It is used in the determination of redox potentials and is commonly used to measure the activity of nitroreductases. 2,7-Dinitrofluorene is also a genotoxic agent that causes DNA damage by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), which react with DNA bases and cause strand breaks. Nitroreductase enzymes catalyze the reduction of nitro groups to amines, which are then converted to ammonia. This process produces ammonia, which reacts with other compounds in the body to form nitrosamines. Nitrosamines have been shown to be carcinogenic in animal models, and some of these compounds can be found in human tissues.
