The carcinogenic azo dye 1-phenylazo-2-hydroxynaphthalene (Sudan I, Solvent Yellow 14) is oxidized by rat liver microsomes to a number of azo-containing metabolites. One of the products of hitherto unknown structure has been shown to be identical with 1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenylazo)-2-hydroxynaphthalene. The identification of this product completed the pattern of major products of Sudan I oxidation by microsomal cytochrome P-450.
致癌的偶氮染料1-苯基偶氮-2-羟基萘(苏丹I,溶剂黄14)被大鼠肝微粒体氧化为多种含偶氮代谢物。迄今为止未知结构的其中一种产物已被证实与1-(3,4-二羟基苯基偶氮)-2-羟基萘相同。该产物的鉴定完成了微粒体细胞色素P-450对苏丹I氧化的主要产物的模式。
