Experiments with ring-labelled radioactive trypan blue did not give evidence of any embryonic incorporation of the (14)C. The absence of teratogenic action after the initiation of chorio-allantoic placentation also indicated that yolk sac function was important in pathogenesis. The dye can be visualized in the cells of the visceral yolk sac.

/Trypan blue/ is reduced in vitro by a rat liver enzyme to ortho-tolidine & 2,8-diamino-1-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid.

Six azo dyes, including trypan blue, were reduced, N-acetylated, and N-conjugated. No N,N'-diacetylated metabolites were detected in rat urine.
KENNALLY JC ET AL; CARCINOGENESIS (LONDON) 3 (8): 947 (1982)
Azo dyes based on beta-diketone coupling components exist preferentially as the tautomeric hydrazones. A series of hydrazone dyes based on benzidine and benzidine congeners ... was prepared. The hydrazone dyes were resistant to enzymatic reduction by FMN supplemented hamster liver post-mitochondrial supernatant (S-9); under identical conditions, azo dyes such as trypan blue were rapidly reduced.
PMID:3957165 De France BF et al; Food Chem Toxicol 24 (2): 165-9 (1986)
Metabolism experiments were conducted with rats dosed with 9 azo dyes based on dimethyl-, dimethoxy-, or dichlorobenzidine to determine whether the free amine congeners, their monoacetyl or diacetyl metabolites, or alkaline hydrolyzable conjugates were excreted in the urine. 2-mg doses were administered and urine samples were collected at intervals up to 96 hr. Peak levels of metabolites were excreted either 0-12 or 12-24 hr after administration and, in 7 of 9 instances, no metabolites persisted in the urine after 48 hr. Minimum detectable levels of all metabolites were 12 ppb or less. All 9 dyes were converted to measurable levels of their benzidine-congener-based metabolites in rats.
PMID:6834800 Bowman MC et al; J Anal Toxicol 7 (l): 55-60 (1983)
The ability of rat liver microsomes from phenobarbitone pretreated animals to reduce the azo groups of amaranth, sunset yellow, congo red, trypan blue, chloramine sky blue FF and direct black 38 was measured in vitro. The dyes amaranth and sunset yellow acted as positive controls. Of the dyes derived from (the carcinogen) benzidine or its congeners, only direct black 38 was reduced to an appreciable extent; the rate of reduction was 10% of that for amaranth. The dyes were tested for mutagenicity in the Salmonella/microsome assay, the only active compound being direct black 38. Mutagenicity of this dye may be due in part to the mutagen 1,2,4-triaminobenzene. Mutagenic activity and azo-reduction of direct black 38 was independent of the presence of oxygen. Mammalian liver may play only a minor or negligible role in the azo-reduction of dyes derived from benzidine or its congeners.
Martin CN, Kennelly JC; Carcinogenesis (Lond) 2 (4): 307-12 (1981)
A dose of 50 mg per kg /of trypan blue/ appears to be the optimum teratogenic dose. A characteristic observation with trypan blue is that with treatment after the 9th day of gestation defects are rare. This fact has supported other evidence that the mechanism of action was dependent on disruption of yolk sac nutrition. ... Studies have produced evidence indicating a possible action of trypan blue on a nutritive function of the visceral yolk sac. The failure of the trypan blue to act directly upon the embryo is generally held ... .

The absence of teratogenic action after the initiation of chorio-allantoic placentation also indicated that yolk sac function was important in pathogenesis. The dye can be visualized in the cells of the visceral yolk sac. ... . The protein-trypan blue complex is concentrated in lysosomes. Through disruption of the enzymatic digestive process in the yolk sac lysosome, trypan blue may interfere with normal embryonic nutritive processes.
