Description

Chrysene-trans-1,2-Dihydrodiol CAS NO 64920-31-6 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 intermediate in advanced research and analytical workflows. It is primarily required by environmental testing laboratories, toxicology researchers, and pharmaceutical R&D teams studying metabolic pathways, carcinogenicity, and DNA adduct formation.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the quantification and identification of chrysene metabolites in complex matrices via HPLC, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
• Toxicology & Metabolic Studies: Serves as a key intermediate in research investigating the metabolic activation pathways of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their role in carcinogenesis.
• Environmental Monitoring: Employed in method development and validation for detecting and monitoring PAH diol metabolites in environmental samples (soil, water, air particulates).
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a substrate or intermediate in enzymatic studies related to cytochrome P450 and epoxide hydrolase activities.
• DNA Adduct Research: Acts as a precursor in studies focused on the formation and detection of PAH-derived DNA adducts, which are biomarkers of exposure and effect.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used in early-stage research for understanding drug metabolism and the bioactivation of compounds with PAH-like structures.
