Metabolite Identification
Common Name2,6-Dimethylaniline
Description2,6-Dimethylaniline, also known as 2,6-xylidine or 2,6-DMA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as m-xylenes. These are aromatic compounds that contain a m-xylene moiety, which is a monocyclic benzene carrying exactly two methyl groups at the 1- and 3-positions. Treatment of AS52 cells with N-OH-2,6-dimethylaniline (2,6-DMA) and 2,6-DMAP led to intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Comparative evaluation of the results indicates that the principal mechanism of mutagenic action is likely to be through redox cycling of intracellularly bound aminophenol/quinone imine structures to generate ROS rather than through formation of covalent DNA adducts. 2,6-Dimethylaniline is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). In humans, 2,6-dimethylaniline is involved in lidocaine (local anaesthetic) metabolism pathway. 2,6-Dimethylaniline is formally rated as a possible carcinogen (by IARC 2B) and is also a potentially toxic compound. These considerations do not rule out DNA adduct formation by monocyclic nitrenium ions because it has been established that the free nitrenium ion derived from 2,6-Dimethylaniline can form under aqueous conditions. DNA strand breaks were observed in a dose-dependent manner in AS52 cells when treated with each of the N-OH-2,6-Dimethylaniline and 2,6-DMAP.
