Chemical Properties
Pale-Yellow Crystalline Solid
Uses
A carcinogenic compound.
Definition
ChEBI: A nitrosamine that is sarcosine in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen has been replaced by a nitroso group.
Safety Profile
Confirmed carcinogen
with experimental tumorigenic data. Mildly
toxic by ingestion. When heated to
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.See also N-NITROSO COMPOUNDS.
Carcinogenicity
N-Nitrososarcosine is reasonably anticipated to b
e a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.
