Abstract
PREVIOUS studies have shown that subcutaneous injections of trypan blue to rats fed with diets containing N,N,-dimethyl-p-(phenylazo)aniline inhibit the formation of liver tumours1,2. A further attempt to inhibit the experimental production of liver cancer was made with certain compounds related to trypan blue (sodium 3,3′-dimethyldiphenyl-4,4′-bis-azo-(2″)-8″-amino-1″-naphthol-3″,6″-disulphonate). The present communication deals with the effects of direct blue BB and semitrypan blue (see Fig. 1).
