2-AMINO-3,8-DIMETHYLIMIDAZO[4,5-F]QUINOXALINE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

Yellow Solid

Uses

Diet meat mutagen heterocyclic amine colorectal adenoma recurrence.

Uses

Mutagen found in white meat, increasing the rate of colorectal adenomas.

Definition

ChEBI: An imidazoquinoxaline that is 3H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline substituted at positions 3 and 8 by methyl groups and at position 2 by an amino group. A mutagenic compound found in cooked beef.

Safety Profile

Confirmed carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic data. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.

Carcinogenicity

MeIQx is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals and supporting genotoxicity data.
