NCIt definition : A synthetic, pale orange to brown crystalline solid that is soluble in dimethylsulfoxide
and methanol. It is produced in small quantities for research purposes. 2-Amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline
is formed naturally during the cooking of muscle-derived foods (meat and fish). Levels
of this chemical produced in this manner are dependent on cooking temperature, cooking
time and method of cooking (direct or indirect). It is one of the most abundant heterocyclic
amines in a typical Western diet. 2-Amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline has
also been detected in processed food flavorings, beer, wine, and cigarette smoke.
It is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05);
