2,4-Dinitroanisole (DNAN) is a low sensitivity organic compound. It has an anisole (methoxybenzene) core, with two nitro groups (–NO 2) attached. [1] It is not explosive itself unless it is mixed with other explosive chemicals in certain ratios.

dnaN is the gene that codes for the DNA clamp (also known as β sliding clamp) of DNA polymerase III in prokaryotes. [2] [3] The β clamp physically locks Pol III onto a DNA strand during replication to help increase its processivity. [4] The eukaryotic equivalent to the β clamp is PCNA.

In this paper we provide details of recent DSTO work aimed at characterising DNAN and a simple formulation (ARX-4027) primarily through handling, sensitiveness and thermal studies.

2,4 DNAN is more thermally stable than RDX. • states the advisory criteria is that the amount of growth be no more than 1%. Exudation and Growth: No advisory criterion but data from tests performed per U.S. 202.01.010 (Exudation) and U.S. 202.01.011 (Growth) are required for TNT based explosives.

DNAN is also used industrially in the synthesis of dyes and insect repellants. This Wildlife Toxicity Assessment (WTA) summarizes current knowledge of the toxicological impacts of DNAN on wildlife. Evaluating the toxicity of DNAN will contribute to the derivation of toxicity reference values (TRVs) for use as screening-

2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) is a warhead explosive currently under investigation as a replacement for TNT in melt-cast insensitive munitions. In animal studies, DNAN is a mild ocular and skin irritant with a significant potential for dermal absorption.

DNAN or 2,4-dinitroanisole is a new -cast matrixmelt that replaces traditional TNT based melt-cast explosives. Aside from sensitiveness improvements, the use of DNAN allows for the continued operation of existing melt-cast facilities for example (the Australian Munitions

2015年6月5日 · Here we show that new optimized derivatives from Streptomyces -derived griselimycin are highly active against M. tuberculosis, both in vitro and in vivo, by inhibiting the DNA polymerase sliding clamp DnaN.

2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), an insensitive explosive, has replaced trinitrotoluene (TNT) in many melt-cast explosives to improve the safety of ammunition and becomes a promising material to desensitize novel explosives of high sensitivity.

2025年3月8日 · This chapter provides an overview of DNAN including its synthesis, characterization, and basic properties. In addition, the sensitivity and explosive properties of various DNAN-based formulations (containing RDX and/or NTO) are discussed.
