PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
PhIP is an imidazopyridine that is 1H--imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine which is substituted at positions 1, 2, and 6 by methyl, amino, and phenyl groups, respectively. It is the most abundant of the mutagenic heterocyclic amines found in cooked meat and fish. It has a role as a carcinogenic agent and a mutagen. It is an imidazopyridine and a primary amino compound.
