4-アミノビフェニル

Also known as p-Aminodiphenyl, 4-Phenylaniline, 4-amino-1,1'-biphenyl, p-Aminobiphenyl, (1,1'-Biphenyl)-4-amine, Xenylamine, Biphenylamine, 4-Aminodiphenyl

4-Aminobiphenyl (4-ABP) is an organic compound with the formula C6H5C6H4NH2. It is an amine derivative of biphenyl. It is a colorless solid, although aged samples can appear colored. 4-Aminobiphenyl was commonly used in the past as a rubber antioxidant and an intermediate for dyes. Exposure to this aryl-amine can happen through contact with chemical dyes and from inhalation of cigarette smoke. Researches showed that 4-aminobiphenyl is responsible for bladder cancer in humans and dogs by damaging DNA. Due to its carcinogenic effects, commercial production of 4-aminobiphenyl ceased in the United
