Application

N-Butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN), a carcinogen, is used to induce histiologically relevant aggressive urinary bladder cancer in animal models.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Carcinogen used to induce urinary bladder cancer in animal models. The result of exposure is histologically comparable to human urinary bladder tumorigenesis. Used in chemopreventative studies.

Packaging

Packaged in a 100 mL serum bottle with butyl rubber stopper and aluminum tear seal.

Caution

Injecting any compatible solvent permits preparation of any desired strength solution without exposure.

Reconstitution

Dissolving the contents in 100 mL of solvent yields a 1% solution.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) have been highly effective in preventing colon, urinary bladder, and skin cancer preclinically, and also in clinical trials of colon adenoma formation. However, certain NSAIDs cause gastrointestinal ulceration and may increase cardiovascular events. Naproxen seems to
