Description

4-Amino-2-nitrophenol (4ANP) is a chemical substance that has been shown to be carcinogenic in animal models. It has also been shown to induce bladder cancer in women who are occupationally exposed to the chemical. The carcinogenic potential of 4ANP is due to its ability to react with nucleophilic groups such as amines and hydroxyl groups on proteins, DNA, and RNA. This reaction leads to the formation of nitrosamines and their metabolites, which are known carcinogens. 4ANP can also act as a receptor molecule for certain types of cancer cells. These interactions have been studied using chromatographic methods.
