2-Nitropropane (2-NP) is mutagenic in a number of short-term mutagenicity assays in vitro and in vivo, and is a potent hepatocarcinogen in rats. A structural isomer, 1-nitropropane (1-NP), is mutagenic in V79 cells and can induce unscheduled DNA synthesis in

In the guinea-pig isolated ileum, both baclofen (5-100 microM) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA; 5-100 microM) induced a bicuculline-insensitive depression of cholinergic twitch contractions which was reversibly and competitively antagonised by 3-amino-1-nitropropane (50-250 microM). 3-Amino-1-nitropropane (pA2 = 5.0 +/- 0.1) was
Unlike primary nitroalkanes, such as 1-nitropropane, the secondary nitroalkane 2-nitropropane is geno- and hepatotoxic. Nitroalkanes exist in equilibrium with alkane nitronates. In order to investigate the relationship between nitroalkane toxicity and generation and stability of nitronates, propane 1- or 2-nitronate
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
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
