Common NameDiphenylamine
DescriptionDiphenylamine, also known as DPA or anilinobenzene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as anilines and substituted anilines. These are organic compounds containing an aminobenzene moiety. Diphenylamine consists of an amine bound to two phenyl groups. It exists as a colorless solid, but commercial samples are often yellow due to oxidized impurities ( Ref:DOI ). It dissolves well in many common organic solvents and is moderately soluble in water. It has a sweet floral odor. Diphenylamine is used mainly for its antioxidant properties and is widely used as an industrial antioxidant, dye mordant and reagent. DPA and derivatives are most commonly used as stabilizers in nitrocellulose-containing explosives and propellants, in the perfumery, and as antioxidants in the rubber and elastomer industry (PMID: 14505701 ). It is also employed in agriculture as a fungicide and antihelmintic. Diphenylamine is found naturally in a number of foods with the highest concentration being found in garden onions. Diphenylamine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as corianders, lemons, tea, and wild celeries. This could make diphenylamine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Diphenylamine is used as a plant growth regulator and as a pre- or postharvest scald inhibitor for apples. Its anti-scald activity is the result of its antioxidant properties, which protect the apple skin from the oxidation products of α-farnesene during storage ( PMID: 16218691 ). Diphenylamine is a potentially toxic compound. In animal experiments diphenylamine has been found to be rapidly and completely absorbed after oral ingestion. It is rapidly excreted mainly via urine. Acute oral and dermal toxicity are low. However, Diphenylamine can cause severe irritation to the eyes. Diphenylamine has been shown in animal studies to target the red blood cell system and can cause abnormal erythropoiesis in the spleen, and thus congestion of the spleen, and haemosiderosis. Diphenylamine is a constituent of marijuana (cannabis) smoke and is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
