General description

1,2-Dihydroxynaphthalene is the most sensitive biomarker for an internal exposure to naphthalene in humans.

Application

1,2-Dihydroxynaphthalene was used as substrate to investigate the rate of oxygen consumption by washed cell suspensions of Corynebacterium sp. strain C125 grown on o-xylene, tetralin or succinate.

A genomic region involved in tetralin biodegradation was recently identified in Sphingomonas strain TFA. We have cloned and sequenced from this region a gene designated thnC, which codes for an extradiol dioxygenase required for tetralin utilization. Comparison to similar sequences

Naphthalene is considered by the US Environmental Protection Agency to be a carcinogenic compound based on inhalation studies in rats. The primary metabolite of naphthalene is naphthalene 1,2-arene oxide. This unstable intermediate can lead to formation of 1-naphthol and naphthalene-1,2-dihydrodiol.

The possibly carcinogenic properties of naphthalene are, regarding to its ubiquitary presence, of environmental-medical and occupational-medical importance. Seven isomeric dihydroxynaphthalenes (DHN) were examined for their suitability as biomarkers in human biomonitoring and to get insights in human naphthalene metabolism. We

The aim was to develop a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay for the detection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a single closed tube. Plasma samples were collected from 200 HCV-infected patients. HCV-RNA was detected by one-step RT-LAMP
