The Ames Salmonella/microsome assay was employed to test the mutagenicity of benzidine and its analogs using strains TA98 and TA100 in the presence and absence of Aroclor 1254-induced rat S9 mix. 3,3'-Dichlorobenzidine-2HCl and 4,4'-dinitro-2-biphenylamine were directly mutagenic to TA98, while 4,4'-dinitro-2-biphenylamine was directly mutagenic to both TA98 and TA100 in the absence of S9 mix. 2-Aminobiphenyl, 3-aminobiphenyl, and 3,3'-5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine were not mutagenic in either…

TLDR
The genotoxicity in lymphocytes caused by benzidine proceeded via a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated mechanism, and the free radical scavengers, including catalase, SOD, BHT, EDTA, and histidine exerted varying degrees of inhibitory effects on the DNA damage caused by Benzidine.
Evidence that 4‐aminobiphenyl, benzidine, and benzidine congeners produce genotoxicity through reactive oxygen species
TLDR
Results of this study indicate that 4‐Ab and Bz induce mutations through the induction of ROS, and these compounds were strongly mutagenic in TA102.

In vitro analysis of Calotropis peroxidase transformed diamine compounds
TLDR
The CgPOD mediated biotransformation can be effectively used in the treatment of BZ and OD containing dye effluents and should not be used in dyes having PPD.

A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study of mutagenicity in several series of organic chemicals likely to be activated by cytochrome P450 enzymes.
TLDR
The findings presented in this study indicate that QSAR analyses on several series of compounds are consistent with the known evidence of procarcinogen activation mechanisms, particularly for polyaromatic hydrocarbons and their heterocyclic/amino derivatives, pointing to the importance of frontier orbital energy values in particular.
Detection of 3,3′-Dichlorobenzidine in Water from the Waka River in Wakayama, Japan

Structure‐mutagenicity relationships of benzidine analogues
TLDR
An increase in mutagenicity correlated to a decrease in basicity of the parent anilines in both TA100 and TA98, and only the nitroaniline compound was mutagenic in both strains in the presence or absence of S9 activation.
Synthesis and mutagenicity of 3,3'-dihalogenated benzidines.
TLDR
Three compounds were synthesized and compared with 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine for ability to revert Salmonella typhimurium and with addition of hamster hepatic S-9 activation the mutagenicity of these compounds increases greatly.
A rationale for the non-mutagenicity of 2- and 3-aminobiphenyls.
TLDR
It is interesting that of the three isomers only 2-aminobiphenyl is non-planar, forming a dihedral angle of 40 degrees, and this may preclude it from acting as a substrate of the P-450I family of haemoproteins, which selectively catalyses the N-hydroxylation of many aromatic amines.
Evaluation of two suggested methods of deactivating organic carcinogens by molecular modification.
TLDR
It is concluded that 4-Aminobiphenyl-4'-sulphonic acid has been synthesized and found to be non-mutagenic in the Salmonella mutation assay when tested under conditions where 4-aminobipenyl was mutagenic, and that the loss of Mutagenic activity observed for tetramethylbenzidine may be a structurally specific rather than a general phenomenon.

Effects of the nitro‐group on the mutagenicity and toxicity of some benzamines
TLDR
Cytotoxicity testing with Chinese hamster ovary cells showed that the presence of the nitro‐group in these compounds had no specific effect on toxicity, and the mutagenicity and toxicity of these compounds were not related to physico‐chemical properties.
