N-Nitrosomorpholine（Cat No.:R051820）is a nitrosamine compound widely studied as a model carcinogen in toxicology and cancer research. It is formed by the nitrosation of morpholine and has been detected as a contaminant in certain industrial processes, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Known for its strong hepatocarcinogenic activity, N-nitrosomorpholine is used experimentally to induce liver tumors in animal models, supporting studies on carcinogenesis, DNA damage, and metabolic activation. Its investigation has provided key insights into nitrosamine toxicity, environmental risk assessment, and mechanisms of chemical-induced cancer development in biomedical research.
