Azo dyes prevent hydrocarbon-induced leukemia in the rat.

چکیده
A set of intraveous injections of 7,8,12-trimethylbenz[a]anthracene consistently elicited leukemia in more than 75% of young adult Long-Evans female rats. There was a profound reduction in the incidence of leukemia in companion groups of rats fed small amounts (1--10 mg) of Sudan III or Sudan IV prior to each injection of the carcinogenic hydrocarbon. Repeated feedings of 1 mg of Sudan III induced cumulative increases in the concentration of menadione reductase (EC 1.6.99.2) in liver, whereas protein concentration was unchanged. A single feeding of 1 mg of Sudan III prevented fatal toxicity in all members of large groups of rats injected with massive doses of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, but 50% of the survivors developed leukemia; unprotected rats succumbed in 1--3 days. Sudan III was not carcinogenic under the experimental conditions.

Adsorption of the reactive azo dyes onto NH4Cl-induced activated carbon
Background: The efficacy of NH4Cl-induced activated carbon (NAC) was examined in order to adsorb RR198, an azo reactive model dye, from an aqueous solution. Methods: The effects of pH (3 to 10), adsorbent dose (0.1 to 1.2 g/L), dye concentration and contact time on the adsorption efficiency were investigated. Results: The results showed that the removal of dye was highest at a solution pH of ...
متن کاملSubstrate-induced synthesis and other properties of benzpyrene hydroxylase in rat liver.
The intraperitoneal injection of weanling rats with 1 mg. or less of 3-methylcholanthrene or of certain other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons rapidly induces several-fold increases in the activities of two hepatic microsomal enzyme systems which can metabolize 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene and related dyes (I). These TPNH’-dependent systems catalyze the oxidative removal of the N-methyl groups and...
متن کاملAryl azo 5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinone dyes as novel antioxidant and antibacterial compounds
In the present study, nine bis-azo dyes based on 5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinone were obtained in two steps, using Knoevenagel condensation and azo coupling reactions. The structure of the dyes was confirmed on the basis of spectral data. Analysis of spectroscopic data shows that there is equilibrium between the azo and hydrazone tautomers for all dyes in solutions. Investigation of antioxidant ...
متن کاملSulfanilic acid: behavioral change related to azo food dyes in developing rats.
The effects of sulfanilic acid, a major azo food dye metabolite, were studied in normal developing rat pups and pups treated with 6-hydroxydopamine (60HDA). Chronic daily intraperitoneal injection of sulfanilic acid during the first postnatal month elicited hyperactivity and impaired shock escape performance in vehicle pups. No differences were noted in 60HDA treated rat pups receiving sulfanil...
متن کاملNaphthalene-based azo dyes: Synthesis, characterization and dyeing performance on polyester fibers
In the present study, five naphthalene-based azo dyes were obtained using classical azo coupling reactions. The structure of the dyes was characterized and confirmed by the UV-vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR analyses. The solvatochromic behavior of the dyes was studied in a set of 10 solvents with different polarity and considerable results were obtained. The dyes were applied as disperse dyes t...
