Description

1-Aminopyrene is a chemical compound that has been shown to be an optical sensor for the detection of skin cancer. The compound reacts with nitrite ions in the blood, leading to a change in its optical properties. 1-Aminopyrene can be used as a tracer molecule and has been shown to be effective in tracking and imaging tumor cells in mice. This chemical is stable under most conditions and does not react with other chemicals, which makes it suitable for use in biological systems.
1-Aminopyrene is also able to inhibit microbial metabolism by reacting with nitrite ions, thereby inhibiting enzyme activity. It has been shown that this reaction may be due to the transfer of electrons from 1-aminopyrene to nitrite ions and the protonation of 1-aminopyrene by a hydroxyl ion.
