Whole-body low-temperature radioluminography of (3)H-2,6-xylidine in rats indicates that the nonmetabolized substance, which is a volatile and fat-soluble compound, is distributed throughout the body and accumulates in adipose tissues, e.g., in the abdominal and subcutaneous regions. Whole-body autoradiography with freeze-dried

This research investigated the intrinsic second-order rate constant between 2,6-dimethyl-aniline (2,6-DMA) and hydroxyl radicals (OH) using Fenton's reactions under both batch and continuous operations. The competitive kinetics technique with aniline as a reference compound was employed. In the batch study

2,6-Dimethylaniline (2,6-xylidine; 2,6-DMA) is a nasal carcinogen in rats. Humans may be exposed to this compound via several routes: 2,6-DMA is found in cigarette smoke; it is a pharmacologically inactive metabolite of some drugs (e.g., the local anesthetic lidocaine) and

Toxicological sciences : an official journal of the Society of Toxicology, 130(1), 48-59 (2012-07-27)
Several alkylanilines with structures more complex than toluidines have been associated epidemiologically with human cancer. Their mechanism of action remains largely undetermined, and there is no reported evidence that it replicates that of multicyclic aromatic amines even though the principal
