The azo dye o-anisidine is known as an industrial and environmental pollutant. Metabolites of o-anisidine remain in the liver for >24h. However, the toxicological impact of o-anisidine on the liver and its individual cell types, e.g., hepatocytes and immune cells, is currently poorly understood. A novel co-culture system, composed of HepG2 or Huh-7 cells, and differentiated THP-1 cells was used to study the metabolic capacity towards o-anisidine, and compared to primary murine hepatocytes which express high enzyme activities. As model compounds the carcinogenic arylamine o-anisidine and its non-carcinogenic isomer, p-anisidine, as well as caffeine were used. Global proteome analysis revealed an activation of eIF2 and Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress response pathways only in co-cultures after treatment with o-anisidine. This was confirmed via detection of reactive oxygen species. In addition, the mitochondrial membrane potential decreased already after 3h treatment of cells, which correlated with a decrease of ATP levels (R>0.92). In the supernatant of co-cultured, but not single-cultured HepG2 and Huh-7 cells, o-anisidine caused increases of damage-associated proteins, such as HMGB1 (high mobility group box-1) protein. In summary, only co-cultures of HepG2 and THP-1 cells predict o-anisidine induced stress responsive pathways, since the system has a higher sensitivity compared to single cultured cells.

Industrial dye effluent causes significant risks to the environment. The present study was focused on photocatalytic degradation of the dye Direct Red 28 using a ternary composite of graphitic carbon nitride, TiO, and polyorthoanisidine (g-CN/TiO/POA), prepared by oxidative polymerization anisidine. The synthesized composite g-CN/TiO/POA properties were characterized using different analytical techniques.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the potential neurotoxic effects of aromatic amines (AAs), known carcinogens commonly found in industry and tobacco smoke, particularly their relationship with serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL), a biomarker for nerve injury.
  • Using data from the 2013-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the study analyzed 510 adults, finding that exposure to certain AAs, especially 2-Aminonaphthalene (2-AN), correlates with elevated sNfL levels, suggesting possible nerve damage.
  • While the study doesn’t establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship, it highlights the need for further research to understand the implications of

A poly(luminol--anisidine--toluidine) terpolymer was synthesized, characterized, and modified with GNPs and ZnO NPs. The nanocomposites were then examined for their electroactivity and potential use as cationic electrochemical sensors for detecting Sb ions in phosphate buffer on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Among the different compositions and the terpolymer, the GCE adapted with the PLAT/ZnO/GNPs-5% nanocomposite displayed the highest current response.

Competing electrophilic substitution and oxidative polymerization of arylamines with selenium dioxide.

Beilstein J Org Chem

May 2024

Department of Chemistry, School of Advanced Sciences, VIT-AP University, Amaravati-522237, Andhra Pradesh, India.

This article describes the detailed analysis of the reaction between arylamines, such as aniline, -anisidine, and methyl anthranilate, with selenium dioxide in acetonitrile. A systematic analysis of the reaction products with the help of Se NMR and single-crystal X-ray crystallography revealed that the reaction progress follows three major reaction pathways, electrophilic selenation, oxidative polymerization, and solvent oxidation. For aniline and -anisidine, predominant oxidative polymerization occurred, leading to the formation of the respective polyaniline polymers as major products.

Investigation of occurrence of aromatic amines in municipal wastewaters using passive sampling.

Sci Total Environ

August 2024

RECETOX, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, Kotlarska 2, 61137, Brno, Czech Republic. Electronic address:

Aromatic amines (AAs) are human-made compounds known for their mutagenic properties, entering surface waters from various sources, often originating as transformation products of dyes or pesticides. Despite their low concentrations in surface waters, AAs can exhibit mutagenicity. Our study focused on evaluating three passive samplers (PSs) for enriching these compounds from influent and effluent of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Brno, Czech Republic.
