Application
N-Butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN), a carcinogen, is used to induce histiologically relevant aggressive urinary bladder cancer in animal models.
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.
Packaging
Packaged in a 100 mL serum bottle with butyl rubber stopper and aluminum tear seal.
Caution
Injecting any compatible solvent permits preparation of any desired strength solution without exposure.
Reconstitution
Dissolving the contents in 100 mL of solvent yields a 1% solution.

Green tea polyphenol (GTP) suppresses malignancy in bladder cancer cell lines. However, the detail of its anti-carcinogenic effect in vivo is not fully understood. This study investigated the effect of GTP on bladder tumor size and angiogenesis in mice given

Urinary bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with the highest incidence in industrialized countries. Patients with cancer commonly use unconventional and complementary therapy including nutraceuticals. In this study we evaluated the efficacy of chitooligosaccharides (in orange

In the present study, effects of L-leucine and L-isoleucine on rat bladder carcinogenesis were investigated using AIN-93G and MF basal diet. In Experiment 1, N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine was used as an initiator of bladder carcinogenesis. In the AIN-93G diet groups, a significantly

We previously reported that the expression of CXC chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4) was upregulated in invasive bladder cancers and that the small peptide T140 was a highly sensitive antagonist for CXCR4. In this study, we identified that CXCR4 expression was induced

Bladder cancer is one of the few cancers that have been linked to carcinogens in the environment and tobacco smoke. Of the carcinogens tested in mouse chemical carcinogenesis models, N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) is one that reproducibly causes high-grade, invasive cancers in
