Informazioni sul prodotto

• Nome: 7-Nitrobenz[A]anthracene standard
• Marchio: Biosynth
• Descrizione: 7-Nitrobenz[A]anthracene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that is a potent carcinogen. It is used as a standard in chromatographic science to measure the rate of oxidation and to identify the oxidation products. 7-Nitrobenz[A]anthracene has been shown to induce tumors in rats, but not in mice. The mechanism of tumorigenicity may be due to its ability to bind covalently with DNA. 7-Nitrobenz[A]anthracene binds stereoselectively with nitro groups on proteins, which can lead to the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. It also adsorbs to silica gel and other polar surfaces, so it can be removed by adsorption chromatography or supercritical fluid extraction.
