hydrocarbons

1-Hydroxypyrene (1-Pyrenol), a biomarker of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, is analyzed in urine samples.

Retinyl acetate (Vitamin A acetate) is a group of unsaturated nutritional hydrocarbons, that contains retinal, retinol, retinoic acid, and several provitamins A carotenoids, among which beta-carotene is the most important.

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.

Hexachloroethane, also known by its systematic name perchloroethane, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon and a chlorinated alkane that appears as a white or colorless crystalline solid at room temperature, with a distinctive camphor-like odor. Hexachloroethane has various industrial uses, including in military smoke compositions, metal and alloy production, and as an ingredient in some specialized pesticides and lubricants. Hexachloroethane is also known to be toxic and can cause significant adverse health effects in humans upon exposure.

Heneicosane (henicosane) is a pheromone that inhibits the production of aflatoxins. Heneicosane is an aroma component isolated from Streptomyces philanthi RL-1-178 or Serapias cordigera.

p-Terphenyl is a triphenyl derivative used in industry as a heat transfer medium and dye carrier, and can be used for related research in the life sciences.

N-Hydroxypipecolic acid (NHP) is a plant metabolite and a systemic acquired resistance (SAR) regulator.

Tetracontane is a long-chain saturated hydrocarbon primarily used as a non-polar solvent and as a calibration standard for determining hydrocarbons in soil samples.

1,2-Dimethylnaphthalene is a specific dimethylnaphthalene isomer carrying methyl substituents at the 1 and 2 positions on the naphthalene ring system, and this polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon has been reported as a natural constituent in several plant species including Phaseolus vulgaris, Nelumbo lutea, and Magnolia liliiflora.

Nonacosane is a straight-chain alkane comprising of 29 carbon atoms. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a volatile oil component.

Rhapontigenin (Protigenin) is a mechanism-based, selective inactivator of cytochrome P450 1A1 (IC50: 400 nM), an aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase which activates polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that act as procarcinogens. Rhapontigenin is a natural analog of resveratrol with antioxidant and anti-cancer activity. At higher concentrations, rhapontigenin inhibits the proliferation of HL-60R and HepG2 cancer cell lines (IC50: 48 μM).

Denthyrsinin, a phenanthrene [1], exhibits properties consistent with this class of aromatic hydrocarbons, characterized by a fused three-ring structure.

Retinyl acetate (Standard) is the standard substance of Retinyl acetate, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. Retinyl acetate (Vitamin A acetate) is a group of unsaturated nutritional hydrocarbons, that contains retinal, retinol, retinoic acid, and several provitamins A carotenoids, among which beta-carotene is the most important.

Tetracosane (Standard) is a reference standard for tetracosane, suitable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and biochemical experiments. Tetracosane is a natural product capable of inducing apoptosis in HT-29, MDA-MB-231, and AGS cells.

1,2,3,5-Tetramethylbenzene is a poly-methylated benzene widely used in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.

6-Methyltetralin is a naphthalene derivative suitable for biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.
