Description

P-nitrobiphenyl (PNB) is used as an intermediate for 4-aminobiphenyl. It was shown that PNB was a urinary bladder carcinogen in dogs. Reports of carcinogenicity in human do not exist, but 4-aminobiphenyl is a carcinogen for human, that is why the assumption exists that exposed in men to 4-aminobiphenyl may have been partially due to PNB. In addition, information exists that PNB has been studied in trials for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse.
