4-amino Biphenyl (4-ABP) is an aromatic amine (arylamine). 4-ABP can be found as a constituent of tobacco smoke, in the form of an environmental carcinogen. It is metabolized by hepatic cytochrome P4501A2 to yield a direct-acting mutagen known as N-hydroxy-aminobiphenyl. The accumulation of biologically active metabolites is dependent on the activation and detoxification of N-acetylation. 4-ABP has been shown to be a bladder carcinogen in humans and rodents.
