Documented Uses

• Used as an experimental carcinogen for research; [HSDB]
• Formation from 2-nitrofluorene: Kuhn, Org Syn 13: 74 (1933).
• ... N-2-fluorenylacetamide was discovered to be a powerful carcinogen prior to the possible use of the parent 2-fluorenamine as an insecticide. ... in 1938 before DDT was known & when insect pests were controlled with difficulty, 2-fluorenamine was a potent & promising insecticide.
• Substances that increase the risk of NEOPLASMS in humans or animals. Both genotoxic chemicals, which affect DNA directly, and nongenotoxic chemicals, which induce neoplasms by other mechanism, are included.
• Chemical agents that increase the rate of genetic mutation by interfering with the function of nucleic acids. A clastogen is a specific mutagen that causes breaks in chromosomes.
