Description

6-Sulfooxymethylbenzo(A)Pyrene is a key sulfonated derivative of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene. This compound is of significant value as a high-purity reference standard and a crucial intermediate in advanced toxicological and metabolic research. It is primarily required by analytical laboratories, research institutions, and chemical manufacturers focused on environmental analysis, carcinogenicity studies, and the synthesis of labeled compounds for bioanalytical assays.

Application

• Metabolite Standard for HPLC/LC-MS: Serves as an essential certified reference material (CRM) for the accurate quantification of benzo[a]pyrene metabolites in complex biological and environmental matrices.
• Biochemical Research: Used in studies investigating the metabolic activation pathways of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their DNA adduct formation mechanisms.
• Toxicology and Carcinogenicity Studies: Employed as a precise analytical standard to calibrate equipment and validate methods in studies assessing the health risks of PAH exposure.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a specialized building block for synthesizing more complex, labeled (e.g., deuterated, 13C) derivatives used as internal standards in mass spectrometry.
• Environmental Monitoring: Applied in method development and quality control for detecting and monitoring sulfonated PAH derivatives in industrial effluents or contaminated sites.
