Application

2-Aminoanthracene can be used as a reactant to prepare:
  • Steroid derived naphthoquinoline asphaltene compounds via multicomponent cyclocondensation reaction with 5-α-cholestan-3-one and aromatic aldehydes.
  • Naphtho[2,3- f ]quinoline derivatives by reacting with aromatic aldehyde and acetone or acetophenone catalyzed by iodine.

We studied the replacement of hepatic S9 with in vivo and in vitro induced hepatocytes as a metabolic activation system with the aim of broadening the possibilities of mutagenic assays. Rats were pretreated with beta-naphthoflavone (BNF), phenobarbital (PB), 3-methylcholanthrene (MC)

A rapid, two-step synthesis of a range of dispiro-1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes with potent antimalarial activity both in vitro and in vivo has been achieved. These 1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes have been proven to be superior to 1,2,4-trioxolanes in terms of stability and to be superior

Environmentally relevant mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs; e.g., crude oils) are often rich in alkyl-PAHs, such as retene (7-isopropyl-1-methylphenanthrene), which produce dioxin-like toxicity in fish embryos. The mechanism of alkyl-PAH toxicity is not well understood but was previously thought
