Product Information

• Name: 5-Methylchrysene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Methylchrysene is a chemical compound that has a hydroxyl group on the 5-position of the chrysene ring. It is an inhibitor of DNA synthesis and can cause tumorigenesis in hamsters and rats. This compound also inhibits the formation of epoxides by reacting with a hydroxyl group on the 2-position of an epoxide to form an adduct, which can inhibit DNA synthesis. In addition, 5-methylchrysene has been shown to have genotoxic effects in mouse cells, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with guanine bases in DNA.
