Description

7,8,9,10-Tetrahydroxytetrahydrobenzo(A)Pyrene is a high-purity polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, specifically a tetrahydroxylated tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene. This compound is of significant interest in advanced chemical research and development due to its role as a key intermediate and reference standard. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial R&D departments focused on environmental analysis, toxicology studies, and the synthesis of complex organic molecules. The product is supplied with a guaranteed Certificate of Analysis to ensure reliability for sensitive applications.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard in HPLC, GC-MS, and LC-MS for the quantification and identification of PAH metabolites in environmental and biological samples.
• Toxicology & Metabolic Studies: Serves as a crucial intermediate or marker in research investigating the metabolic pathways, DNA adduct formation, and carcinogenicity of benzo[a]pyrene and related compounds.
• Organic Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a versatile building block for the synthesis of more complex hydroxylated PAHs, dyes, and specialized organic materials.
• Environmental Monitoring: Employed in method development and calibration for detecting oxidized PAH derivatives in soil, water, and air particulate matter analysis.
• Biochemical Research: Used in studies of enzyme activity (e.g., cytochrome P450) involved in the bioactivation and detoxification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
