General description

4-Nitroanisole undergoes photochemical nucleophilic aromatic substitution by hydroxide ion to form 4-methoxyphenol and 4-nitrophenol.

Application

4-Nitroanisole was used as probe to determine Π* of Kamlet-Taft solvent parameters and high pressure and supercritical water in the temperature range of 16-420 °C. 4-Nitroanisole was used as carbon and energy supplement for the isolation of Rhodococcus strains.

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Nitroanisole is O-demethylated to 4-nitrophenol by human liver microsomes.

A temperature-sensitive photochemical nucleophilic aromatic substitution on 4-nitroanisole by a hydroxide ion in homogeneous solutions, in a two-phase system under phase-transfer catalysis conditions, and in the microwave field is reported. It was found that reaction regioselectivity dramatically changes with temperature

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are a major metabolic mechanism responsible for pyrethroid resistance in Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) from Asia. Cytochrome P450-mediated O-demethylation activity toward p-nitroanisole (PNOD) of individual fourth instars was determined in five strains of H. armigera by using a

The controlled release of 4-nitroanisole from polylactide nanoparticles with different morphologies is reported. Two theoretical equations have been used in an attempt to fit the experimental results. Good agreement between theory and experiment was found for short release time. The

Semisynthetic flavocytochromes, obtained by covalent binding of riboflavins with cytochrome P450 2B4, were able to catalyse H2O2-supported aniline p-hydroxylation, amidopyrine N-demethylation and p-nitroanisole O-dealkylation. Rates of these reactions were considerably higher than the rates of corresponding NAD(P)H-dependent reactions and comparable

Cytochromes P450 3A3/4 are inordinately important P450 enzymes catalyzing the metabolism of a large variety of clinically useful drugs, steroids, and carcinogens. Two monoclonal antibodies, MAb 3-29-9 and MAb 275-1-2, were prepared to human P450 3A4 from mice immunized with
