Toluidine

Toluidine

Toluidine is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of aminotoluenes. It can refer to any of the three isomers of toluidine, namely ortho-toluidine, meta-toluidine, and para-toluidine. Toluidine is commonly used in the production of dyes and specialty chemicals, as well as in various industrial processes such as the production of herbicides and dyes.From: Dictionary of Biomedical Science [2019], Handbook of Commercial Catalysts [2019], Overview of biological mechanisms of human carcinogens [2019]

Exposures to O-toluidine cause toxicity and poisoning to animals and occupational workers. It is highly toxic to animals and humans and is rapidly absorbed by oral, dermal, and inhalation by mammals. The acute oral LD50 to rats ranges from 900 to 940 mg/kg. The compound is known to cause adverse effects in workers, which include headache, irritation of skin, eye, kidneys, bladder, and hematuria. O-Toluidine has caused hepatocellular adenoma and carcinoma in experimental laboratory mice and rats.

ortho-Toluidine is used in a variety of industrial processes including the production of herbicides and dyes. Exposure is highest in occupational settings, with non-occupational exposure predominantly through tobacco smoking and use of hair dyes. ortho-Toluidine has consistently been associated with an elevated risk of bladder cancer in humans.
