Description

Benzo(K)Fluoranthene-8,9-Diol, 8,9-Dihydro- is a high-purity dihydrodiol derivative of benzo[k]fluoranthene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). This compound is of significant value as a key metabolite and reference standard in environmental and toxicological research. It is primarily needed by analytical laboratories and research institutions focused on PAH metabolism studies, biomarker analysis, and environmental monitoring.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the quantification and identification of PAH metabolites in complex matrices via HPLC, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
• Toxicology & Metabolic Studies: Serves as a critical metabolite in research investigating the metabolic activation pathways, DNA adduct formation, and carcinogenic mechanisms of benzo[k]fluoranthene.
• Environmental Biomarker Analysis: Employed in biomonitoring studies to assess human or ecological exposure to PAHs by measuring specific dihydrodiol metabolites.
• Enzymology Research: Used as a substrate to study the activity and specificity of cytochrome P450 and epoxide hydrolase enzymes involved in PAH metabolism.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Essential for developing, validating, and calibrating analytical methods in contract research organizations (CROs) and regulatory testing labs.
