Product Information

• Name: Nitrosobis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine
• Synonyms: 2,2'-(Nitrosoimino)bisethanolDiethanolnitrosamineN,N-Diethanolnitrosamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Nitrosobis(2-hydroxyethyl)amine (NBEA) is an inhibitor of nitrite reductase, an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of nitrite to ammonia. Nitrite reductase is used in wastewater treatment and is also involved in the metabolism of some carcinogens. NBEA has been shown to inhibit the activity of nitrite reductase by binding to its active site, preventing the enzyme from reducing nitrite to ammonia. NBEA has genotoxic effects on E. coli K-12 cells and increases DNA damage with prolonged exposure, which may be due to the production of reactive oxygen species such as superoxide radical anion and hydrogen peroxide.
