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.

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
