General Description

2-Benzoylpyren is a chemical compound consisting of a pyrene molecule with a benzoyl group attached to it. It is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative that is often used as a model compound for studying the metabolism and carcinogenicity of PAHs. 2-Benzoylpyren is known to be a potent inducer of enzymes that are involved in the metabolism of carcinogens in the body, particularly in the liver. It is also used in research to study the formation of DNA adducts and the mutagenic and carcinogenic potential of PAHs. The compound has been found to have potential applications in the field of environmental and biomedical research due to its ability to mimic the behavior of PAHs in biological systems. However, it is important to handle 2-Benzoylpyren with caution as it is considered to be a hazardous chemical with potential health and environmental risks.
