Comparison of the toxicity of the dyes Sudan II and Sudan IV to catalase

Abstract: The mechanisms of the toxicity of Sudan dyes to the key antioxidant enzyme catalase (CAT) were investigated by spectroscopic methods, calorimetry techniques, enzyme activity assay, and molecular docking. Results showed that Sudan dyes bound to CAT through hydrophobic force, which changed the microenvironment of tryptophan and tyrosine residues, leading to a conformational alteration and shrinkage of the protein. Enzyme activity assay and molecular docking revealed that the activity of CAT was slightly inhibite… Show more

“…Sudan dyes are synthetic industrial dyes that are widely used as a colorant in oil, wax, gasoline, shoes, and floor polishes (Teng & Zhou, 2017). Sudan dyes are carcinogenic, genotoxic, sensitive, and mutagenic (Li et al, 2017;Xu et al, 2010), and are toxic to human organs such as the liver and kidney. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has analyzed and evaluated the carcinogenic effect of Sudan Red and classified it as a category 3 carcinogen (Zuckerman, 1995).…”

“…Catalase is one of the most important enzymes to protect from oxidative damage by excessive H 2 O 2 through decomposition of it into water and oxygen (2H 2 O 2 → O 2 + 2H 2 O) in cellular and tissue environment, which occurs widely in aerobic organisms . Catalase is a tetramer protein, and each subunit is composed of more than 500 amino acids with its heme active site deeply buried inside the protein . The decrease of catalytic activity would cause accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in vivo, leading oxidative damage to DNA and proteins .…”
