Methods The mutation test of 2-propylaniline and 4-propylaniline was evaluated in five different doses for each chemical through a well-known Ames bacterial mutation test. This test was performed regardless of metabolic activation. Results In this assay, we obtained positive results under all tested conditions, indicating that these two chemicals have mutagenic and potentially carcinogenic properties. Conclusion Both 2-propylaniline and 4-propylaniline were mutagenic under the conditions of these tests. This result means that all of these chemicals exhibit mutations and potential carcinogenicity. Keywords 2-Propylaniline, 4-Propylaniline, Mutagenicity, Reverse mutation |
