General description
Azoxymethane (AOM) is a potent laboratory chemical used to study cancer initiation, progression, and prevention, particularly in the colon. It acts as both a carcinogen, triggering tumor formation, and a gene mutation agent, causing specific alterations in DNA.
Application
Azoxymethane (AOM), a gene mutation agent, may be used with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) to create cancer models in laboratory animals which can be used to study mechanisms of cancer progression and chemoprevention.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Carcinogen that induces O6-methylguanine adducts in DNA leading to G→A transitions. Induces tumorigenesis in the colon of laboratory animals and is used to study the mechanism of cancer progression and chemoprevention.
Features and Benefits
Versatile and adaptable for a wide variety of laboratory and research applications.
