Bioactivity | Acid Yellow 36 (Metanil Yellow) is an azo dye and a pH indicator. Acid Yellow 36 changes its color from red at pH 1.2 to yellow at pH 2.3. Acid Yellow 36 is used in the leather, paper and textile industries. Acid Yellow 36 acts as a bifunctional inducer of specific isozymes of P-450 and cytosolic enzymes[1][2][3]. Storage: protect from light. |
Invitro | Acid Yellow 36 (Metanil Yellow) acts as an inducer of a specific form of microsomal P-450 and cytosolic glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and quinone reductase (QR), which may involve a cytosolic Ah receptor[3]. |
