Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureNot Available
Mechanism of ToxicityTreatment of AS52 cells with N-OH-2,6-dimethylaniline (2,6-DMA) and 2,6-DMAP led to intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). DNA strand breaks were observed in a dose-dependent manner in AS52 cells when treated with each of the N-OH-2,6-DMA and 2,6-DMAP. Comparative evaluation of the results indicates that the principal mechanism of mutagenic action is likely to be through redox cycling of intracellularly bound aminophenol/quinone imine structures to generate ROS rather than through formation of covalent DNA adducts. These considerations do not rule out DNA adduct formation by monocyclic nitrenium ions because it has been established that the free nitrenium ion derived from 2,6-DMA can form under aqueous conditions.
