Product Information

• Name: N-Nitroso-4-piperidone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-Nitroso-4-piperidone is a nitrosating agent that has been shown to induce tumors in rats. It is thought to be carcinogenic by increasing the number of DNA adducts and inducing chromosomal aberrations. N-Nitroso-4-piperidone has been shown to react with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, forming an intermediate that can undergo electrophilic substitution reactions on amines, leading to the formation of n-nitrosopiperidine. The nitrosating activity of N-Nitroso-4-piperidone has been studied in rat liver microsomes as well as in model systems using esophageal tissue from Sprague Dawley rats.
