2,6-Diaminotoluene (2,6-DAT) is an aromaticamine characterized by its two amino groups located at the 2 and 6 positions ona toluene ring. This structure imparts unique properties such as highreactivity and the ability to form hydrogen bonds, making it an importantintermediate in synthesis thermoplastic polyamides. Its solubility in organicsolvents further enhances its applicability in polymer synthesis of compositepolymer materials and drug delivery systems.

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
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
Recent work in our laboratory has examined mechanisms whereby chemicals produce mutagenicity in short-term in vitro assays yet fail to produce carcinogenesis in 2-year rodent bioassays. These studies have used mutagenic structural analogs of carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic chemicals for comparison.

A rapid and simple procedure for the micronucleus test (MNT) in vitro using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was established in our laboratory. The assay is intended to quickly screen chromosomal aberrations in vitro within the framework of industrial genotoxicity
