Application

N-(2-Fluorenyl)acetamide (2-Acetamidofluorene, 2-AAF), a genotoxic carcinogen, is used to induce liver cancer in animal models such as the 2-AAF/partial hepatectomy rat. 2-AAF may be used to study the mechanism of liver carcinogenesis and as a reference material during its identification or quantitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

A genotoxic carcinogen that is used to model liver carcinogenesis in rat. When N-hydroxylated by cytochrome CYP1A2 in the liver, 2-AAF forms adducts with DNA and is tumorigenic in liver and bladder.
