Product Information

• Name: 4-Aminopyrene
• Synonyms: 4-Pyrenamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Aminopyrene is an aromatic amine that contains a nitro group. It has been used in biological studies to study the metabolism of amines, and chromatographic and mass spectrometric detection methods have been developed for its determination. 4-Aminopyrene also has the ability to form isomers through substitution on the N atom. The activation energy for this process is 14.3 kcal/mol. 4-Aminopyrene has been shown to be cytotoxic and mutagenic in vitro, and it can inhibit protein synthesis in bacteria by inhibiting RNA synthesis at the ribosome level. It has also been shown to induce changes in cell morphology and stimulate morphological differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60).
