Regioselectivity in N-acetylation of nitro-0-phenylenediamine, a widely used hair dye component, by rat liver cytosolic N-acetyltransferases was studied in relation to its substituent effects on enzymatic N-acetylation of mono-substituted anilines. Nitro-p-phenylenediamine was acetylated specifically at the N4-position to afford the
The antimutagenic effect of 10 citrus fruit juices was observed against the mutagenicity of N-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (NPD) in TA97a and sodium azide in TA100 tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium using the Ames test. It was noticed that the juices of all

Reductive metabolism of the hair dye constituent, nitro-p-phenylenediamine (2-nitro-1,4-diaminobenzene, NPDA), and its acetylated metabolite, NPDA N4-acetate, was investigated with rat liver subcellular fractions, microsomes and cytosol. Under anaerobic conditions, these compounds were reduced to their corresponding amines by these fractions.
