The Uses of Triglycerol monolaurate

Triglycerol monolaurate is a potent and selective pancreatic carcinogen in the Syrian golden hamster. This model has been used to study pancreatic cancer as chemically induced pancreatic neoplasms are morphologically similar to those found in man.

Definition

ChEBI: Nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine is a nitrosamine that is iminodiacetone that is substituted by a nitroso group at the N-atom. It induces pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas in Syrian golden hamsters (other rodents are not susceptible). It has a role as a carcinogenic agent. It is a nitrosamine and a ketone.

Safety Profile

Suspected carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic, neoplastigenic, tumorigenic data. Poison by ingestion and subcutaneous routes. Human mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also N-NITROSO COMPOUNDS.
