carcinogen

N-Nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU/MNU/NMH) is a nitrosourea compound with alkylating, carcinogenic, and mutagenic properties; as a direct-acting alkylating agent, it interacts with DNA and targets multiple animal organs to induce various cancers and degenerative diseases, and is commonly used to induce disease models such as gastric cancer and breast cancer in mice.

1-Hydroxyanthraquinone is an anthraquinone that has been found in Morinda officinalis and has genotoxic and carcinogenic activities. 1-Hydroxyanthraquinone generates strong DNA repair response.

NSC-37445 has anti-tumor activity, such as inhibits growth of bladder tumor cells in a nude mice model , prevents the recurrence and progression of non-muscle-invasive urothelial cell carcinoma. NSC-37445 can significantly reduce the expression of CDK1-inhibitory kinases, Myt1 and Wee1, and cause cyclin B1 protein accumulation leading to CDK1 activation in T24 cells. 3. Flavokawain A (Flavokavain A) may exert anti-inflammatory responses by suppressing LPS-induced expression of pro-inflammatory mediators via blockage of NF-κB-AP-1-JNK/p38 MAPK signaling pathways in the murine macrophages.

TFMB-(R)-2-HG is a cell membrane-permeable (R)-2-HG, an oncogenic factor in acute myeloid leukemia. It impairs SCF ER-Hoxb8 cell differentiation in response to estrogen withdrawal.

Macrozamin has carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic and neurotoxic properties.Macrozamin is a natural product isolated from Cycads.

2,5-Dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (2,5-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-one) is a non-genotoxic flavoring substance [1].

Xanthone (Xanthenone) is currently used as ovicide for codling moth eggs and as a larvicide.

D-Saccharic acid 1,4-lactone hydrate is a potent β-glucuronidase inhibitor (IC50=48.4 μM) that possesses anticarcinogenic, detoxifying, and antioxidant properties[1][2].

α-Angelica lactone has cardiotonic activity, may exert their effects by providing an increased contraction-dependent calcium pool to be released upon systolic depolarization.

7-Hydroxyflavanone shows antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae clinical isolates.

Glyphosate (Atila) is an herbicide. It also is a possible carcinogen to humans.

Azoxymethane (AOM) is a colon-specific carcinogen that induces DNA damage and forms DNA adducts, and is commonly used to establish mouse models of colorectal cancer.

Oltipraz (RP 35972) is a synthetic dithiolethione with potential chemopreventive and anti-angiogenic properties. Oltipraz induces phase II detoxification enzymes, such as glutathione S transferase (GST) and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). The induction of detoxification enzymes enhances the detoxification of certain cancer-causing agents, thereby enhancing their elimination and preventing carcinogen-induced DNA damages. Although the exact mechanism through which the anti-angiogenesis effect remains to be fully elucidated, oltipraz maybe able to modulate the expression of a number of angiogenic factors, thereby blocking the sustained and focal neovascularization in multiple tumor cell types.

Phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride (NCI-c01661) is the hydrochloride salt form of phenoxybenzamine, a synthetic, dibenzamine alpha-adrenergic antagonist with antihypertensive and vasodilatory properties. Phenoxybenzamine non-selectively and irreversibly blocks the postsynaptic alpha-adrenergic receptor in smooth muscle, thereby preventing vasoconstriction, relieving vasospasms, and decreasing peripheral resistance. Reflex tachycardia may occur and may be enhanced by blockade of alpha-2 receptors which enhances norepinephrine release. Phenoxybenzamine is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.

Phenazopyridine hydrochloride (Pyridium) is used orally as a urinary tract analgesic. Side effects of phenazopyridine hydrochloride administration can include nausea, interference with the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells (methemoglobinemia), hemolytic anemia as well as renal and hepatic toxicity. It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.

Anthracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) consisting of three fused benzene rings that presents as a colorless, solid, crystalline substance derived primarily from coal tar, known for its characteristic blue fluorescence under ultraviolet light and its extensive use as a fundamental raw material for producing anthraquinone dyes, synthetic fibers, and various other organic compounds. While Anthracene serves as a component in some wood preservatives and asphalt products, Anthracene is also a recognized environmental pollutant and is classified as a potential occupational carcinogen by some regulatory bodies.

4-Nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO) is a chemical carcinogen that induces mutations in bacteria, fungi, and animals through the formation of large amounts of purine adducts.

N-Nitrosomorpholine is a light-sensitive nitrosamine with strong carcinogenicity in animals and is commonly used to induce liver cancer models.

4-(Dimethylamino)benzaldehyde (p-Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde) is a carcinogen that can induce liver cancer.

2-Bromobiphenyl is a persistent organic pollutant (POP) found primarily in soil and water. It is a known human carcinogen and has been linked to a variety of health effects including reproductive and developmental toxicity.

Lariciresinol is an enterolignan precursor, it possesses fungicidal activities by disrupting the fungal plasma membrane and therapeutic potential as a novel antifungal agent for the treatment of fungal infectious diseases in humans. Dietary lariciresinol

AalphaC (2-Amino-alpha-carboline) is a potential carcinogen.

PhIP is a heterocyclic aromatic amine (HAA) from cooked meat. It belongs to pyridine heterocyclic amine and is a 2B carcinogen with estrogen activity. PhIP forms adducts with DNA that promote cancer.

4-Aminobiphenyl is a Class 1 carcinogen with cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 and RT-4 cells. It exhibits affinity as a substrate for UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A4 and can be used in related research in the field of life sciences.
