o-Toluidine hydrochloride is a compound with surfactant properties. It finds application in the production of food hydrocolloids and in the treatment of wastewater. Notably, this product exhibits genotoxic effects, likely attributed to its capacity to interact with DNA and form p-hydroxybenzoic acid. Research indicates that o-Toluidine hydrochloride shares similar pharmacokinetic properties with other surfactants. While the exact mechanism of genotoxicity remains unknown, it could be attributed to the presence of nitrogen atoms within the molecule or its interaction with DNA.
