General description

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 equally mutagenic in the Ames/Salmonella assay in the presence of S9. However, the differences in

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

Toluenediamines (TDA) were monitored in blood, urine and redon drainage following implantation of polyurethane (PU)-covered breast prostheses. In the redon drainage TDAs showed an initial steep drop. The levels did not fall below detection limits but formed a plateau, which

Detecting genotoxicity in the liver is considered an effective approach for predicting hepatocarcinogenicity, as many genotoxic chemicals in vivo may act as hepatocarcinogens in rodents. Here, a genotoxic rodent hepatocarcinogen, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (1,2-DMH), and a genotoxic (Ames positive) noncarcinogen, 2,6-diaminotolunene
