Dibenz[a,h]acridine(CAT: R000619) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with a nitrogen atom embedded within its multi-ring structure, consisting of three fused benzene rings attached to an acridine core. This compound is of significant interest in environmental and toxicological studies due to its mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, often being investigated as a pollutant resulting from the incomplete combustion of organic materials, such as coal or tobacco. Dibenz[a,h]acridine and its derivatives are studied for their interactions with DNA and their role in inducing genotoxicity, making them crucial in research focused on understanding cancer development and the effects of environmental contaminants.
