Additional information

Basic toxicokinetics:

Two studies of the target substance 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol were reviewed for basic toxicokinetics endpoint, as cited in The EFSA Journal (2005) 263, 1-71, and are presented below as weight of evidence approach:

In key study, the dye 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol is said to be easily reduced by intestinal bacteria, after gavage administration to rats in corn oil 1-amino-2naphthyl sulphate and 8 other metabolites were excreted in urine.

Other study indicates that after 14C-labelled Sudan II (1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol) was administered, 86% of the activity was found in the faeces with only 14% in the urine and 11 metabolites were identified, but these are not specified in the review.

Based on the above studies and by applyiing weight of evidence approach it can be concluded that majority of the test substance 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol is easily metabolised and excreted in urine and faeces, so the substance shows no bioaccumulation potential inside the body.
