Acetoxyacetylaminofluorene

An alkylating agent that forms DNA ADDUCTS at the C-8 position in GUANINE, resulting in single strand breaks. It has demonstrated carcinogenic action.

Also Known As:

N-Acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene; N-Acetoxy-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene; N Acetoxy 2 acetylaminofluorene; N Acetoxy N acetyl 2 aminofluorene; Acetoxyacetamidofluorene; Acetoxyfluorenylacetamide; Acetamide, N-(acetyloxy)-N-9H-fluoren-2-yl-
