“…Benzidine (BZ) is a urinary bladder carcinogen in humans (64)(65)(66) and dogs (25), and a hepatocarcinogen in rats, mice, and hamsters (66)(67)(68)(69). Since BZ has two amino functions, its metabolic activation pathways are potentially more complicated than the monofunctional aromatic amines.…”

Aromatic amines are urinary bladder carcinogens in man and induce tumors at a number of sites in experimental animals including the liver, mammary gland, intestine, and bladder. In this review, the particular pathways involved in the metabolic activation of aromatic amines are considered as well as the specific DNA adducts formed in target and nontarget tissue. Particular emphasis is placed on the following compounds: 1-naphthylamine, 2-naphthylamine, 4-aminobiphenyl, 4-acetylaminobiphenyl, 4-acetylamino-4'-fluorobiphenyl, 3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl, 2-acetylaminofluorene, benzidine, N-methyl-4-aminoazobenzene, 4-aminoazobenzene, and 2-acetylaminophenanthrene.

“…Like some other genotoxic aromatic amines, benzidine is a bladder carcinogen in humans and induces liver tumors in rodents. In this case, liver tumor formation in mice and rats is obviously predictive for tumor formation in humans in another organ, i.e., the bladder (29,30). However, aromatic amines are genotoxic carcinogens, and their main mode of action is tumor initiation by covalent binding to DNA following metabolic activation (31).…”
