✦ Synopsis


4,4'-Methylenedianiline and its derivatives were assayed for mutagenicity in the Salmonella/microsomal mutagenicity assay developed by Ames. A specificity to revert strain TA98 suggests a mechanism of frameshift mutagenesis. Liver microsomal preparations (S-9) from rats induced with phenobarbital were most effective for metabolic activation. Alkyl substitution of 4,4'-methylenedianiline did not alter its mutagenic activity; however, substitution of both positions ortho to the amino group eliminated mutagenic activity. Substitution with alkoxy-carbonyl groups eliminated mutagenic activity, whereas halogen substitution (chlorine, fluorine) enhanced the mutagenic activity. The results presented here show the use of structure-activity studies as predictive tools for the assessment of genotoxic properties of industrial chemicals.
