Supplement 7: (1987) (p. 392)
CAS No.:
Chem. Abstr. Name: (1,1'-Biphenyl)-2-ol, sodium salt
B. Evidence for carcinogenicity to animals (sufficient)
Sodium ortho-phenylphenate produced urinary bladder carcinomas in rats following its oral administration [ref: 1-3]. It increased the incidences of haemangiosarcomas of the liver and of hepatocellular carcinomas in male mice after its oral administration [ref: 4]. When given in the diet to rats, it enhanced the incidence of bladder cancer induced by oral administration of N-nitroso-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-N-butylamine [ref: 5].
Overall evaluation
Sodium ortho-phenylphenate is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).
