title: The metabolism of aromatic amines.
abstract: Aromatic amines are of general interest in drug metabolism and some are a health hazard, particularly as bladder carcinogens. Conditions for the biological ring- and N-oxidation of aniline and its derivatives are reviewed. The metabolism of 2-naphthylamine and aminobiphenyls and the involvement of metabolites of aromatic amines in bladder cancer is discussed.
