In this work, poly (o-Anisidine) (POA) was prepared by consecutive potential cycling in an acidic monomer solution at the surface of Carbon Paste Electrode (CPE). Nickel ions were dispersed into the polymer by immersing the electrode in NiSO4 solution. The prepared Ni/POA/CPE was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Atomic Force Mic...

2-Methoxyaniline (o-anisidine) is an industrial and environmental pollutant causing tumors of urinary bladder in rodents. Here, we investigated the formation and persistence of DNA adducts in the Wistar rat. Using the (32)P-postlabeling method, three o-anisidine-derived DNA adducts were found in several organs of rats treated with a total dose of 0.53 mg o-anisidine/kg body wt (0.15, 0.18, and ...

N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine is a human metabolite of the industrial and environmental pollutants and bladder carcinogens 2-methoxyaniline (o-anisidine) and 2-methoxynitrobenzene (o-nitroanisole). Here, we investigated the ability of hepatic microsomes from rat and rabbit to metabolize this reactive compound. We found that N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine is metabolized by microsomes of bot...

An aromatic amine, o-anisidine (2-methoxyaniline) and its oxidative counterpart, 2-nitroanisole (2-methoxynitrobenzene), are the industrial and environmental pollutants causing tumors of the urinary bladder in rats and mice. Both carcinogens are activated to the same proximate carcinogenic metabolite, N-(2-methoxyphenyl)hydroxylamine, which spontaneously decomposes to nitrenium and/or carbenium...

Poly-o-anisidine Sn(IV) arsenophosphate is a newly synthesized nanocomposite material and has been characterized on the basis of its chemical composition, ion exchange capacity, TGA-DTA, FTIR, X-RAY, SEM, and TEM studies. On the basis of distribution studies, the exchanger was found to be highly selective for lead that is an environmental pollutant. For the detection of lead in water a heteroge...
