Description
Summary:Aromatic amines are important intermediates in industrial manufacturing. They are used in a large number of products, such as pesticides, dyes, plastics and pharmaceuticals. The parent arylamines can be metabolically released from these arylamine-based compounds and form DNA and protein adducts after N-oxidation to N-hydroxy arylamines. Aromatic amine derivatives, including the industrial intermediates acetoacetanilide, acetoacet-m-xylidide and N-ethylaniline, were examined for their ability to form Hb adducts in rats as potential biomarkers of exposure. The haemoglobin binding indices (HBI=binding [mmol mol-1 Hb]/dose [mmol kg-1 body weight]) of the arylamines were determined 24 h after oral administration to female Wistar rats. The precipitated haemoglobin was dissolved in 0.1 M sodium hydroxide in the presence of internal standards. After hexane extraction the released arylamines were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). For aniline released from acetoacetanilide an HBI of 15 and for 2,4-dimethylaniline released from acetoacet-m-xylidide an HBI of 0.129 were determined. The HBIof aniline released from N-ethylaniline was 45.
