  ## Carcinogenicity
  
  It has been proposed that dinitrobisphenol A might be formed in vivo by peroxynitrite mediated oxidations of bisphenol A and that it may exhibit higher toxicity than BPA itself. 3,3'-Dinitrobisphenol A is found to be genotoxic in male ICR mice on a micronucleus test. Its estrogenic potential is not known however it has shown some binding to estrogen-related receptor gamma to an extent.
