2-Acetylaminofluorene2-Acetylaminofluorene is white-colored solid, man-made chemical compound used in medicines and fabric dyes.
Chemical Formula:
C15H13NO
Layman's explanation:
2-Acetylaminofluorene is used by scientists to study the carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of aromatic amines and as a positive control in the study of liver enzymes. 2-Acetylaminofluorene was intended for use as a pesticide but was never marketed because of its carcinogenicity in experimental animals.2-Acetylaminofluorene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. The EPA has not classified 2-acetylaminofluorene for carcinogenicity. Causes are reduced functioning of liver, kidneys, bladder, and pancreas. 2-Acetylaminofluorene occurs as light tan crystalline needles. It is insoluble in water and soluble in alcohols, glycols, ether, acetic acid, and fat solvents. 2-Acetylaminofluorene is available as a grade that is 95 to 98% pure. When heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides (NOx).
