N-Nitroso-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (NTHP) is mainly used in research to study nitrosamine chemistry, metabolic activation, and neurotoxicity mechanisms. It serves as a model compound for investigating Parkinson’s disease like effects in biological systems. Due to its nitrosamine nature, it is handled with caution because of its potential carcinogenic and toxic properties.
