Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

4-Nitropyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) that has been identified as a potent mutagen and carcinogen. It is found in the environment as a byproduct of incomplete combustion, particularly from coal-burning power plants, diesel engines, and cigarette smoke. 4-Nitropyrene is of significant interest to researchers due to its ability to bind to DNA and induce mutations, leading to the development of cancer. Its formation and persistence in the environment are studied to understand and mitigate the potential health risks associated with this compound. The synthesis of 4-nitropyrene typically involves the nitration of pyrene, a process that can be achieved through various chemical reactions. The effects of 4-nitropyrene exposure include DNA damage, cell transformation, and tumor formation in animal studies. Research on this compound focuses on understanding its mechanisms of action, developing methods for its detection and analysis, and evaluating its potential risks to human health.'
