Research Excerpts

Overview

2-Nitropropane (2-NP) is a well-known genotoxin and carcinogen in rat liver. The 1-isomer is non-carcinogenic in rodents.

Roles (4)

RoleDescription
xenobioticA xenobiotic (Greek, xenos "foreign"; bios "life") is a compound that is foreign to a living organism. Principal xenobiotics include: drugs, carcinogens and various compounds that have been introduced into the environment by artificial means.
hepatotoxic agentA role played by a chemical compound exihibiting itself through the ability to induce damage to the liver in animals.
carcinogenic agentA role played by a chemical compound which is known to induce a process of carcinogenesis by corrupting normal cellular pathways, leading to the acquistion of tumoral capabilities.
polar aprotic solventA solvent with a comparatively high relative permittivity (or dielectric constant), greater than ca. 15, and a sizable permanent dipole moment, that cannot donate suitably labile hydrogen atoms to form strong hydrogen bonds.

Drug Classes (1)

ClassDescription
