Hydroxyacetylaminofluorene is a derivative of 2-acetylaminofluorene used as a biochemical tool in the study of carcinogenesis.

Biochemistry

N-hydroxy-2-acetamidofluorene reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of the carcinogen, hydroxyacetylaminofluorene to 2-acetylaminofluorene. It uses reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) as its cofactor.[1][2]
