Description

1-Nitropyrene-9,10-Oxide is a high-purity, nitro-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative. This compound is of significant interest as a key reference standard and research chemical in environmental and toxicological studies. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and chemical manufacturers involved in the study of mutagenic and carcinogenic compounds, air pollution analysis, and advanced organic synthesis.

Application

• Environmental Analysis Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the quantification of nitrated PAHs (nitro-PAHs) in air particulate matter, diesel exhaust, and soil samples.
• Toxicology and Mutagenicity Research: Serves as a critical reagent in Ames tests and other bioassays to study the metabolic activation and DNA-binding properties of nitro-PAHs.
• Chemical Intermediate: Employed in organic synthesis for the preparation of more complex PAH derivatives and for studying oxidation and reduction pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used in studies investigating the metabolic pathways of xenobiotics and the development of detection methods for DNA adducts.
• Quality Control & Method Development: Essential for calibrating analytical equipment (GC-MS, HPLC) and validating analytical methods in compliance with environmental monitoring protocols.
