Ethylisopropylnitrosamine(CAT: M079119) is a chemical compound associated with organic chemistry and, more specifically, as a potentially carcinogenic compound. Its action method involves being a nitrosamine, a class of compounds known to have carcinogenic properties. Due to its carcinogenicity, it is primarily studied and used as a research tool in the investigation of cancer development and prevention.

Carcinomas of the esophagus in rats ingesting diethylnitrosamine.

Abstract:
Buffalo strain male and female rats 12 weeks of age ingested 0·0114% diethylnitrosamine (DEN) in the diet for 26 weeks and were returned to the basal diet without DEN for the remainder of the experiment. Rats survived an average of 28 weeks. Carcinomas of the esophagus were observed in 9 of 14 male and 5 of 14 female rats. The incidence of carcinomas of the esophagus was higher in male rats; however, the incidence of liver carcinomas was higher in female rats. The organ site of induction of carcinomas with the symmetrical and asymmetrical nitrosamines is discussed.
