Enzymes are natural catalysts, controlling reactions with typically high stereospecificity and enantiospecificity in substrate selection and/or product formation. This makes them useful in the synthesis of industrially relevant compounds, particularly where highly enantiopure products are required. The flavoprotein pentaerythritol tetranitrate
The genotoxicity of 2-nitropropane (2-NP) and 1-nitropropane (1-NP) was investigated by measuring the induction of DNA repair synthesis in rat liver cells in vitro and in vivo. 2-NP strongly induced DNA repair synthesis in both cases. When applied in vivo
2-Nitropropane (2-NP) is a rat liver carcinogen, whilst the 1-isomer is non-carcinogenic in rodents. Although DNA repair tests in the rat liver discriminated clearly between the carcinogenic and the non-carcinogenic isomer, uniformly negative results have been published for the mouse
1-Nitropropane (1-NP), 2-nitropropane (2-NP), 1-azoxypropane (1-AP) and 2-azoxypropane (2-AP), were assayed for carcinogenicity by gavage in male Sprague-Dawley rats. 2-NP was given at 1 mmol/kg three times per week for 16 weeks. 1-NP (1 mmol/kg), 1-AP (0.1 mmol/kg), 2-AP (0.1
