CAS 4998-76-9: Cyclohexylamine, hydrochloride

Cyclohexanamine hydrochloride

Cyclohexylamine hydrochloride (CHA) is a cyclohexane ring with an amine group on the side. It is used as a metabolic rate indicator, which can be seen through optical sensors. The most common use of CHA is in bladder studies, where it is used to test the effect of various chemicals on the cells lining the bladder. CHA also has long-term toxicity and particle effects, which have been shown in animal studies. Cyclohexylamine hydrochloride may also have carcinogenic potential because it binds to fatty acid receptors, leading to increased uptake and tumor growth. Cyclohexylamine hydrochloride also has an effect on glucocorticoid receptors that can lead to toxic effects on the testes and ovaries. Cyclohexylamine hydrochloride has no known interactions with any other drugs or chemicals.
