Mutation research, 322(4), 243-256 (1994-10-01)
o-Phenylphenol (OPP) and its sodium salt, sodium o-phenylphenate are broad spectrum fungicides and disinfectants with widespread usage. Both chemicals have been reported to induce cancer in the kidney and urinary bladder of Fischer 344 rats. Recently it has been proposed
S Tayama et al.
Mutation research, 259(1), 1-12 (1991-01-01)
The effects of cysteine and reduced glutathione (GSH) on the genotoxicity of o-phenylphenol (OPP) and its metabolites, phenylhydroquinone (PHQ) and phenylbenzoquinone (PBQ), were examined using the frequency of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosome aberrations in CHO-K1 cells as parameters. Cytotoxic

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-.

1. The effects of diethyl maleate (DEM) on the cytotoxicity of phenyl-hydroquinone (PHQ) and other hydroquinones were studied in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. 2. Addition of PHQ (0.5 or 0.75 mM) to hepatocytes resulted in dose-dependent cell death accompanied by
E S Kwok et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 10(7), 742-749 (1997-07-01)
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
