General description

2-Nitroanisole (2-methoxynitrobenzene is an industrial and environmental pollutant causing tumors of the urinary bladder in rats and mice. Tumorigenic potential of 2-nitroanisole has been evaluated by host-mediated in vitro and in vivo assay.

Application

2-Nitroanisole has been employed as solvatochromic probe to examine cybotactic region of pure and mixed supercritical fluid solvent systems.

The pharmacokinetics and metabolism of o-nitroanisole (ONA) were studied in male Fischer 344 rats. Three dose levels of [14C]ONA (5.0, 50, or 500 mg/kg) were administered orally to rats and daily excreta were analyzed for 14C. Since the highest dose

An aromatic amine, o-anisidine (2-methoxyaniline) and its oxidative counterpart, 2-nitroanisole (2-methoxynitrobenzene), are the industrial and environmental pollutants causing tumors of the urinary bladder in rats and mice. Both carcinogens are activated to the same proximate carcinogenic metabolite, N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine, which spontaneously
