 |  | N-NITROSO-L-PROLINE Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | Colourless Plates |  | Uses | A nitrosoamino acid with oncogenicity. The LD50 of a single ip dose given to Swiss-Webster mice is 203 +/- 22 mg / kg |  | Uses | A nitrosoamino acid with oncogenic activity. The LD50 of a single ip dose given to Swiss-Webster mice is 203 +/- 22 mg / kg. |  | Production Methods | There is no indication that nitrosoproline was made commercially.
It has been reported in cured meats (e.g., bacon) at
concentrations of 340–440 μg/kg. Both higher and
lower levels in several cured products have been reported
by several authors. |  | Definition | ChEBI: N-Nitrosoproline is a L-proline derivative. |  | Safety Profile | Poison by intraperitoneal route.Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenicdata. Many nitroso compounds are carcinogens. Whenheated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. Seealso NITROSO COMPOUNDS. |  | Carcinogenicity | Mice were given 0.1% NPRO in drinking water for 26 weeks,
and no more lung adenomas were seen than in untreated
controls at 38 weeks, showing a lack of carcinogenicity.
In rats, higher doses (0.145%) in drinking water for 2 years
showed no tumors that were not seen in untreated controls
(174). IARC classified NPRO as not classifiable as
to carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3). |
