Ref. 3D-FN11810

Product Information

• Name: 9-Nitroanthracene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 9-Nitroanthracene is a nitro compound that is used in the production of dyes and explosives. It is a salt, consisting of sodium and one or more nitro groups. The adsorption mechanism for 9-nitroanthracene is not well understood, but it may be due to oxidation catalyst. Short-term exposure to 9-nitroanthracene has been shown to cause cancer in rats. This toxic effect is likely due to the chemical's ability to react with DNA, which can lead to mutations that may lead to cancerous growths. 9-Nitroanthracene has also been shown to inhibit cell growth in rat liver microsomes through metabolic changes such as energy metabolism and emissions, but does not affect other tissues.
