Inhibition of mutagenic activation of orthoaminoazotoluene increases its carcinogenicity for mouse liver by V. I. Kaledin, L. P. Ovchinnikova, S. I. Ilnitskaya, T. S. Morozkova, N. A. Popova

“…Inhibition of sulfoconjugation of 4-aminoazobenzene, another hepatocarcinogen for mice, by pentaclorophenol was reported to reduce its both mutagenic and carcinogenic activity. In this paper, we confirmed this observation. But we found that, when used ortho-aminoazotoluene, pentaclorophenol inhibited its mutagenic activity, but significantly stimulated the hepatocarcinogenic potency. …”
