The Uses of N-N-BUTYL-N-BUTAN-4-OL-NITROSAMINE

N-Butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN), a carcinogen, is used to induce histiologically relevant aggressive urinary bladder cancer in animal models.

Definition

ChEBI: A nitrosamine that has butyl and 4-hydroxybutyl substituents. In mice, it causes high-grade, invasive cancers in the urinary bladder, but not in any other tissues.

General Description

Dark red liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

A hydroxylated and nitrated amine. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Carcinogen used to induce urinary bladder cancer in animal models. The result of exposure is histologically comparable to human urinary bladder tumorigenesis. Used in chemopreventative studies.
