R J Brennan et al.
Mutation research, 381(2), 251-258 (1998-01-22)
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
M L Cunningham et al.
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
M Taningher et al.
Toxicology, 99(1-2), 1-10 (1995-05-05)
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
J J Hayward et al.
Carcinogenesis, 16(10), 2429-2433 (1995-10-01)
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 equally mutagenic in the Ames/Salmonella assay in the presence of S9. However, the differences in

The Analyst, 122(1), 51-56 (1997-01-01)
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
