Metabolism, disposition, and mutagenicity of 2, 6-diaminotoluene, a mutagenic noncarcinogen

Environmental health perspectives, 104 Suppl 3, 683-686 (1996-05-01)
The aromatic amines 2,4-diaminotoluene (2,4-DAT) and 2,6-diaminotoluene (2,6-DAT) are structural isomers that have been extensively studied for their mutagenic and carcinogenic characteristics. Both compounds are rapidly absorbed after oral administration and are equally mutagenic in the Ames test; however, 2,4-DAT

Blood and urine samples were collected from six workers and two volunteers exposed to thermal degradation products from toluene diisocyanate (TDI)-based polyurethane (PUR) before and during the summer vacation. Air samples were collected on filters impregnated with 9-(N-methylaminomethyl)anthracene. The concentrations

Among aminoaromatics, 2,4-diaminotoluene (2,4-DAT) and 2,6-diaminotoluene (2,6-DAT) represent a conflicting couple of isomers; despite showing the same structural alert to DNA reactivity (and thus potential genotoxicity), they are different in terms of carcinogenicity. Of the two, 2,4-DAT alone is a

The carcinogenicity of aniline-based aromatic amines is poorly reflected by their activity in short-term mutagenicity assays such as the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation (Ames) assay. More information about the mechanism of action of such carcinogens is needed. Here we report
