Since 1948 trypan blue has been a well-known and extensively used experimental teratogen, belonging to the group of azo dyes. Chemically, trypan blue consists of a biphenyl molecule (0-tolidine or benzidine) combined by means of azo linkages with two molecules of a substituted naphthalene. Between 1987-89 the effect of the replacement of the biphenyl molecule by a molecule of p,p'-diaminobenzanilide upon the prenatal noxious action of trypan blue has been controlled. Investigations were carried out on three species: chick embryos, albino rats and albino mice. In the species used, the replacement annihilates the teratogenic properties of the dye, with the persistence of some embryotoxic effects. On the other hand, the control of o-tolidine and of p,p'-diaminobenzanilide revealed that no one had teratogenic properties (only some embryotoxic effect, more marked in the case of o-tolidine). It results that the teratogenic action of trypan blue cannot be attributed to the o-tolidine molecule proper but to an effect which results (in a for the moment unknown manner) from its combination with the other parts of the dye molecule. |
