Application

N-Butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN), a carcinogen, is used to induce histiologically relevant aggressive urinary bladder cancer in animal models.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Carcinogen used to induce urinary bladder cancer in animal models. The result of exposure is histologically comparable to human urinary bladder tumorigenesis. Used in chemopreventative studies.

Packaging

Packaged in a 100 mL serum bottle with butyl rubber stopper and aluminum tear seal.

Preparation Note

Dissolving the contents in 100 mL of solvent yields a 1% solution.

Legal Information

Isopac is a registered trademark of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

Disclaimer

Injecting any compatible solvent permits preparation of any desired strength solution without exposure.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) have been highly effective in preventing colon, urinary bladder, and skin cancer preclinically, and also in clinical trials of colon adenoma formation. However, certain NSAIDs cause gastrointestinal ulceration and may increase cardiovascular events. Naproxen seems to

The potential promoting effect of Diuron was investigated in a mouse model of mammary and urinary bladder carcinogenesis induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) and N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN). Four-week old female Swiss mice were allocated to five groups: Groups G1-G3 received DMBA (5
