The carcinogenic activity of 3'-hydroxymethyl-N,N-dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene (3'-CH2OH-DAB) was studied in Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes, male ddy mice, and male Syrian golden hamsters. The activity of 2'-CH2OH-DAB and 4'-CH2OH-DAB was studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Azo dyes were given in the diet at a concentration of 0.064% for 3 months followed by a stock diet for 1 month; animals were sacrificed 4 months after beginning of the experiment. Liver hyperplastic nodules developed in all 8 male rats (100%) and in all 10 female rats (100%) which received 3'-CH2OH-DAB and in 7 out of 12 male rats (58%) which received 2'-CH2OH-DAB. Hepatocellular carcinomas were produced in 1 out of 8 male rats (13%) and in 1 out of 10 female rats (10%) receiving 3'-CH2OH-DAB. No hepatic lesions were observed in rats receiving 4'-CH2OH-DAB and in mice and hamsters receiving 3'-CH2OH-DAB. These results indicate that a carcinogenic effect of 3'-CH2OH-DAB and 2'-CH2OH-DAB could be detected in rats.
