| 产品介绍 |
2-Naphthylamine is an aromatic amine used to make azo dyes. A common reason that it is used less for this purpose is that the substance is a carcinogen. Studies indicate that 2-Naphthylamine decreases the enzymatic functions of monoamine oxidase A and B. It is known that the main source of this compound is obtained from cigarette smoke. In addition, metabolites of 2-Naphthylamine such as N-hydroxy-2-Naphthylamine damages DNA by forming specific carcinogen-base adducts. These studies suggest that specific 2-Naphthylamine can cause problems for cells by binding to glycogen. |
