Description

Benzo(C)Phenanthrene 1,2-Dihydrodiol is a high-purity, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolite of significant interest in advanced chemical research and development. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate and reference standard for studying metabolic pathways, environmental fate, and toxicological profiles of PAHs. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, analytical laboratories, and pharmaceutical developers engaged in environmental science, toxicology, and carcinogenesis studies.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the precise quantification and identification of PAH metabolites in complex matrices via HPLC, GC-MS, or LC-MS.
• Metabolic Pathway Research: A key intermediate for investigating the enzymatic (e.g., cytochrome P450) and chemical transformation pathways of Benzo(c)phenanthrene.
• Toxicology & Carcinogenicity Studies: Employed in in vitro and in vivo studies to understand the biological activity and DNA-binding potential of specific PAH dihydrodiols.
• Environmental Monitoring: Acts as a biomarker in assessing human and ecological exposure to specific PAH contaminants from industrial or combustion sources.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a sophisticated building block for the synthesis of more complex PAH derivatives or labeled compounds for tracer studies.
