Description

3-Aminobenzo(A)Pyrene is a high-purity, functionalized derivative of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo(a)pyrene. This compound is a critical advanced intermediate and research-grade standard for analytical chemistry and life science research. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and academic institutions engaged in toxicology and carcinogenesis studies.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard for the HPLC, LC-MS, and GC-MS analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolites and derivatives in environmental and biological samples.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorescent probes, molecular tags, and conjugates for studying DNA adduct formation and metabolic activation pathways.
• Toxicology Studies: Employed in research to understand the mechanisms of mutagenicity and carcinogenicity associated with amino-substituted PAHs.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as a building block or a metabolite analog in the discovery and development of therapeutic agents targeting specific enzymatic pathways.
• Environmental Monitoring: Used in method development and calibration for detecting and quantifying nitrated and aminated PAH derivatives in complex matrices like air particulates, soil, and water.
• Material Science Research: Investigated as a precursor for organic semiconductors or functional materials due to its conjugated aromatic structure with an amine group.
