Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) Standards

Applications 1-Nitropyrene-d9 is a labelled isotope of 1-Nitropyrene (N519950), which is the most abundant nitropolycylcic aromatic hydrocarbon found in exhaust from diesel engines with potent carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. It is also an intermediate in synthesizing 1-Aminopyrene-d9 (A629287), which is derived from Pyrene-d10 (P849002), which is labelled Pyrene. Occurs in coal tar. Also obtained by the destructive hydrogenation of hard coal. References Arce, R., et al.: J. Phys. Chem. A., 112, 10294 (2008); Winterstein, et al.: Z. Physiol. Chem., 230, 162 (1934);

Stability Light Sensitive Applications Benz[l]aceanthrylene is a mutagenic agent. References Bartczak, A., et al.: Mutagenesis, 2, 101 (1987); Nesnow, S., et al.: Cancer Res., 44, 4993 (1984)

Applications 1,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene has been incorportated into degradable lysine diisocyanate methylester-glycerol polyurethane foam and showed the presence of functional 1-naphthol group-dependent drug release in aqueous solution.

Applications Benzo[b]thiophene has application in organic as well as pharmaceutical industry as a component in the synthesis of Raloxifene, a breast cancer therapeutic, or hydrodesulfurization reactions.

Applications Naphthalene is an abundant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that is persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic and found in tobacco smoke and urban air. This compound is a contaminant of emerging concern (CECs). Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Sutherland, K.M., et. al.: Am. J. Physiol., 302, L68 (2012); Bahuguna, A., et. al.: J. Pharm. Res., 5, 1600 (2012);

Applications It is listed as a known human carcinogen. Used in manufacturing of dyes, as antioxidant in rubber. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References IARC Monographs, 4, 97 (1974),

Applications Benzo[e]pyrene-d12 (CAS# 205440-82-0) is a useful isotopically labeled research compound.
