1-Naphthol-4-sulfonic acid sodium salt was studied in rats with a 28-day repeated dose oral toxicity test at doses of 0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg. No deaths were observed in either sex. There were no changes attributable to the test substance in terms of general condition, body weights, and food consumption, or findings of urinalysis, hematological examination, blood chemical examination or pathological examination. The NOEL for the 28-day repeated dose oral toxicity test of 1-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid sodium salt is considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for both sexes.
Genotoxicity of 1-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid sodium salt was studied by a reverse mutation test in bacteria and by a chromosomal aberration test in cultured Chinese hamster lung (CHL/IU) cells.
1-Naphthol-4-sulfonic acid sodium salt was not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA, with or without an exogenous metabolic activation system.
1-Naphthol-4-sulfonic acid sodium salt did not induce chromosomal aberrations in CHL/IU cells, with or without an exogenous metabolic activation system.
