3,3'-Dinitrobisphenol A is an organic compound with the formula (HO(O2N)C6H3)2C(CH3)2. It is a yellow-orange solid prepared by nitration of bisphenol A.
Carcinogenicity It has been proposed that 3,3'-dinitrobisphenol A might be formed in vivo by peroxynitrite-mediated oxidations of bisphenol A and that it may exhibit higher toxicity than BPA itself. 3,3'-Dinitrobisphenol A has been found to be genotoxic in male ICR mice on a micronucleus test. Its estrogenic potential is not known, but it has shown some binding to estrogen-related receptor gamma to an extent.
