o-Phenylphenol (OPP) and its sodium salt (SOPP) are broad spectrum fungicides and antibacterials to which humans are frequently exposed. Both OPP and SOPP have been found to cause cancer in the urinary bladder of male F344 rats at high doses
P Henschke et al.
Archives of toxicology, 73(10-11), 607-610 (2000-02-09)
Incubation of the o-phenylphenol (OPP) metabolites, o-phenylhydroquinone (PHQ) and o-phenylbenzoquinone (PBQ) with V 79 Chinese hamster cells led to a significant enhancement of the amount of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) in nuclear DNA. With OPP no distinct induction of this lesion could

Carcinogenesis, 12(1), 145-149 (1991-01-01)
o-Phenylphenol (OPP) and its sodium salt sodium ortho-phenylphenate (NaOPP) are broad spectrum fungicides and antibacterial agents. Both are urinary bladder and renal carcinogens in the Fischer 344 rat. OPP is converted by mixed-function oxidases in the liver to phenylhydroquinone (PHQ).
S Tayama et al.
Mutation research, 324(3), 121-131 (1994-07-01)
Phenylhydroquinone (PHQ), a metabolite of o-phenylphenol (OPP), is easily autoxidized to phenylbenzoquinone (PBQ) via the semiquinone (phenylsemiquinone, PSQ) with concomitant production of superoxide anion radicals (O2-.). We have used scavengers of active oxygen species to examine whether or not O2-.

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 49(5), 2497-2502 (2001-05-23)
Sodium orthophenylphenate (SOPP) has been used extensively for >40 years to control postharvest diseases of citrus fruits. Studies of the metabolism of [(14)C]SOPP have identified orthophenylphenol (OPP) as the major metabolite with phenylhydroquinone (PHQ) as a minor metabolite. The whole-fruit
