Description

Benzo[A]Pyrene-7,8-Dicarboxylic Acid Disodium Salt is a high-purity, water-soluble derivative of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene. This compound is of significant value as a key intermediate and reference standard in advanced environmental and biochemical research. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and chemical manufacturers focused on developing detection methods for PAH metabolites and studying metabolic activation pathways.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the calibration of HPLC, GC-MS, and LC-MS/MS systems in environmental and food safety testing.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide (BPDE) adducts for studying DNA damage and carcinogenesis mechanisms.
• Metabolite Studies: Employed in the development and validation of analytical methods to detect and quantify specific PAH metabolites in biological samples (e.g., urine, blood).
• Toxicology & Environmental Monitoring: Acts as a standard for assessing human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and for monitoring environmental pollution.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Utilized in early-stage research for investigating molecular pathways related to cancer and developing potential chemopreventive agents.
