Product Information

• Name: N-Nitrosodiisopropylamine
• Synonyms: N-(1-Methylethyl)-N-nitroso-2-propanamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-Nitrosodiisopropylamine is an alkylating agent that binds to DNA and inhibits the synthesis of proteins, leading to cell death. It has been shown to be carcinogenic in animal studies, where it caused bladder cancer in Sprague-Dawley rats. N-Nitrosodiisopropylamine is also a reactive chemical compound that reacts with other chemicals in the body. It is often found as a contaminant in urine samples of smokers who are exposed to nitrites and other nitrogen oxides and can be detected using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) methods. The most common method for sample preparation is liquid–liquid extraction followed by hydrolysis with hydroxide solution.
