Ferretti JJ, Lu W, Liu MB: Mutagenicity of benzidine and related compounds employed in the detection of hemoglobin. Am J Clin Pathol. 1977 Jun;67(6):526-7.
Seven compounds commonly used as chromagens for the detection of hemoglobin and its derivatives have been assayed for mutagenicity employing the Salmonella/mammalian microsome test. Three of these compounds, benzidine, o-dianisidine, and o-tolidine, were shown to be mutagenic. Since benzidine and o-tolidine are already known to be carcinogens, there is a high probability that o-dianisidine will also prove to be a carcinogen. Four compounds tested with this system, o-anisidine, diphenylamine, guaicol, and o-toluidine, were not mutagenic. |
