nnitrosodiethylamine

N-Nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) is a carcinogenic dialkylnitrosamine commonly found in water, tobacco smoke, cheddar cheese, pickled foods, fried foods, and various alcoholic beverages; it is associated with alterations in nucleases involved in DNA repair and replication, targets organs such as the nasal cavity, trachea, lungs, esophagus, and liver to induce tumors in animals, and is most commonly used to induce liver cancer models.

N-Nitrosodiethylamine-d10 is a deuterated compound of N-Nitrosodiethylamine. N-Nitrosodiethylamine has a CAS number of 55-18-5. N-Nitrosodiethylamine is a potent hepatocarcinogenic dialkylnitrosoamine. N-Nitrosodiethylamine is mainly present in water, tobacco smoke, cheddar cheese, cured, fried meals and many alcoholic beverages. N-Nitrosodiethylamine is responsible for the changes in the nuclear enzymes associated with DNA repair/replication. N-Nitrosodiethylamine results in various tumors in all animal species. The main target organs are the liver, nasal cavity, trachea, lung and esophagus.
