Description

5-Chloro-2-methylaniline is an organic compound that is a member of the amines class. It has been shown to be genotoxic and carcinogenic in vivo. 5-Chloro-2-methylaniline binds to DNA and inhibits the synthesis of RNA, leading to cell death. It is also toxic to aquatic organisms by inhibiting cellular respiration and causing mutations. 5-Chloro-2-methylaniline has been shown to be genotoxic in vitro and in vivo, with chronic oral toxicity observed at dietary concentrations of 0.1% (10 ppm) in animals. The toxicity of this compound may be due to its ability to form hydrogen chloride when mixed with water or other acids.
