N-Nitroso-N-methyl-2-phenylethylamine (NMPEA) is primarily used as a research compound to study the carcinogenicity, metabolism, and biochemical behavior of nitrosamines. It serves as a model for understanding how N-nitrosamines form and act in biological systems. Due to its potential carcinogenicity, NMPEA must be handled with strict safety precautions.
