Comparative activity of 4,4'-diaminobiphenyl (benzidine) and its terphenyl analogue, 4,4'-diaminoterphenyl, in two in vitro assays for potential carcinogenicity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The carcinogen 4,4'-diaminobiphenyl (benzidine) has been compared in vitro with its terphenyl analogue 4,4''-diaminoterphenyl using the Salmonella reverse mutation assay and the BHK cell-transformation assay. The responses observed, taken together with a consideration of chemical structures, indicate that the terphenyl compound is a potential carcinogen. These findings may contribute to an understanding of the mechanism of action of benzidine as a carcinogen.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Biological Evaluation of Some New Functionalized Terphenyl Derivatives
New functionalized terphenyl derivatives incorporating various heterocyclic rings are prepared by using 4,4''-difluoro-5'-hydroxy-1,1':3',1''-terphenyl-4'-carbohydrazide as a key intermediate derived from 4,4'-difluoro chalcone, a versatile synthone. All the derivatives are characterized by (1)H NMR, IR, and mass spectral data. All the synthesized products are screened for their in vitro antimi...
متن کاملOxidative activation of benzidine and its derivatives by peroxidases.
Benzidine (4,4'-diaminobiphenyl) is a known human carcinogen; exposure to this substance resulted in an epidemic of bladder cancer among workers in the dye industry in Europe and North America. The chemical or enzymatic oxidation of benzidine proceeds via a racial cation detectable by electron spin resonance. Peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of benzidine generates reactive electrophiles which rea...
متن کاملChromosomal aberrations in mouse lymphocytes exposed in vitro and in vivo to benzidine and 5 related aromatic amines.
Mouse lymphocytes were exposed in vitro for 2 h or in vivo for 24 h to benzidine and related aromatic amines to test for chromosome aberrations (CA) and mitotic indices. Uninduced mouse S9 was used to activate the amines for the in vitro tests to be consistent with the in vivo tests. Contrary to a previous report, no difference could be established in the genotoxicity of benzidine following act...
