Description

N-Nitrosopiperidine (NPIP) is a potent carcinogen that has been studied extensively for its role in the formation of cancer in humans. NPIP is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents and is known to form in a variety of food products, particularly cured meats and fish. It is formed during the processing of these foods, typically through the reaction of nitrite with secondary amines. NPIP is also a byproduct of the industrial production of certain pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Its presence in foods is a concern due to its carcinogenic potential and its ability to accumulate in the body. Scientists study NPIP to understand its formation, its effects on human health, and to develop methods to prevent or minimize its formation in food. Studies have shown that NPIP can induce tumors in the liver, stomach, and esophagus in laboratory animals. It is believed that NPIP acts as a mutagen, causing changes in DNA that can lead to cancer. The mechanisms by which NPIP causes cancer are not fully understood, but it is thought to involve the formation of reactive nitrogen species that can damage DNA. Due to its carcinogenicity, NPIP has been classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). NPIP is also known to cause other health problems, such as liver damage and neurotoxicity. Efforts to reduce the levels of NPIP in food include reducing the amount of nitrite used in food processing, using alternative curing methods, and developing food packaging materials that can prevent the formation of NPIP. Research on NPIP continues to focus on understanding its formation, its effects on human health, and developing effective methods to reduce its presence in food.'

N-nitrosopiperidine: structure [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

N-nitrosopiperidine : A nitrosamine that is piperidine in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a nitroso group. One of the many carcinogens detected in cigarette smoke, it is found in meat, cheese and spices that have been treated with the preservative sodium nitrite.
