Description

2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is a mutagenic and carcinogenic heterocyclic amine formed during ordinary cooking, and is subsequently metabolically activated by cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2). PhIP has been used in trials studying the basic science of Pancreas Cancer.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Thirty minutes after oral or intravenous administration of PhIP (1 mg/kg), the PhIP levels in the small intestine were reduced 4- to 6-fold in Bcrp1;Mdr1a/b;Mrp2(-/) (-) and Bcrp1;Mrp2;Mrp3(-/-) mice compared with wild-type mice
Route of Administration: Other
In Vitro Use Guide
Asynchronized TK6 cells were harvested at various times after treatment with PhIP (1.25-10 ug/ml), fixed and stained with propidium iodide for the examination of cell cycle by fluorescence-activated flow cytometry.
