Description

7,8,9,10-Tetrahydroxy-7,8,9,10-Tetrahydrobenzo(A)Pyrene is a high-purity, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative of significant scientific and industrial interest. This compound serves as a critical advanced intermediate or reference standard in research focused on metabolic pathways, environmental analysis, and material science. It is primarily required by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and specialty chemical manufacturers engaged in developing new analytical methods or synthesizing complex organic molecules.

Application

• Metabolic and Toxicological Research: Used as a key intermediate or metabolite standard in studies investigating the biotransformation and carcinogenicity of Benzo(a)pyrene and related PAHs.
• Environmental Analysis: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for the calibration of equipment (HPLC, GC-MS) used to detect and quantify PAH metabolites in environmental and biological samples.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a sophisticated building block for the synthesis of more complex polycyclic structures or labeled compounds for tracer studies.
• Biomarker Development: Utilized in the development and validation of assays aimed at detecting specific DNA adducts or exposure biomarkers in occupational and environmental health monitoring.
• Material Science Research: Investigated for its potential utility in the synthesis of organic semiconductors or novel carbon-based materials due to its fused aromatic core and functional hydroxyl groups.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in early-stage discovery research to understand molecular interactions and metabolic activation pathways relevant to drug safety assessment.
