The repeated dose toxicity of a smoke containing Disperse Blue 180, an anthraquinone dye mixture

Interaction of anthraquinone dyes with lysozyme: Evidences from spectroscopic and docking studies

“…cotton, silk, wool, polyamide and polyester) [24]. The high incidence of cancer among workers in the dye and chemical industries has been associated with exposure to anthraquinone dyes [25,26], but there is no experimental evidence about the molecular mechanisms involved in these processes [27]. In view of the multifarious functions of lysozyme and its important practical role from a medicinal point of view, studies between these carcinogenic dyes and lysozyme are necessary in realizing the disposition, transportation and metabolism of dyes and hence become an important research field in chemistry, life sciences and clinical medicine.…”

Spectroscopic studies on the interaction between disperse blue SBL and bovine serum albumin

“…Because anthraquinone dyes give a wide range of color in almost the whole visible spectrum, and are widely applied, they might be present in relatively high concentrations in wastewaters originating from textile factories [3]. The high incidence of cancer among workers in the dye and chemical industries has been associated with exposure to anthraquinone dyes [4,5]. Anthraquinone dyes are of great concern because of their toxic aromatic intermediates and biorecalcitrance that is both mutagenic and carcinogenic [6].…”

Interaction between Alizarin and Human Serum Albumin by Fluorescence Spectroscopy

“…To estimate the binding site of alizarin with HSA, an ANS-HSA solution 2.97 cm 3 was titrated with an appropriate concentration of a 0.03-cm 3 alizarin methanol solution. It was confirmed that this methanol concentration did not affect the fluorescence intensity of ANS-HSA.…”

“…2 The high incidence of cancer among workers in the dye and chemical industries has been associated with exposure to anthraquinone dyes, 3,4 and it is important to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in these processes. 5 Protein is an important chemical substance in our lives and the major target of many types of chemicals in the body.…”
