Abstract excerpt
2,3-Diaminophenazine (DAP) and 2-amino-3-hydroxyphenazine (AHP) are products generated from oxidative-type phenylenediamine hair dyes and are also present in pesticide formulations as contaminants. Earlier studies demonstrated that DAP and AHP were mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains after mammalian microsomal activation. Plant systems can activate structurally similar arylamines. S. typhimurium strains...
