Description

Chrysene-trans-5,6-Dihydrodiol CAS NO 56183-24-5 is a high-purity polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolite, specifically a dihydrodiol derivative of chrysene. This compound is of significant value as a critical reference standard and biochemical research tool for studying metabolic activation pathways and DNA adduct formation. It is primarily needed by analytical laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and academic research institutions focused on toxicology, carcinogenesis, and environmental pollutant analysis.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the precise quantification of chrysene metabolites in complex matrices via HPLC, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key intermediate in studies investigating the metabolic activation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their role in carcinogenesis.
• Toxicology Studies: Employed in in vitro and in vivo research to assess the biological activity and DNA-binding properties of activated PAH metabolites.
• Environmental Monitoring: Acts as a biomarker in assays designed to detect and measure human or ecological exposure to chrysene and related PAHs.
• Method Development & Validation: Essential for developing, calibrating, and validating sensitive analytical methods in regulatory and research settings.
