In the study of compounds structurally related to MY, benzanilide (BA) showed almost the same AhR ligand activity as azobenzene and trans-stilbene.

In the presence of the Aroclor 1254-activation system, o-aminoazotoluene and 3-methoxy-4-aminoazobenzene were potent mutagens, whereas 4-amino-azobenzene and 4-diethylaminoazobenzene failed to elicit a positive mutagenic response.
All six azobenzenes displaced [3H] tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin from the cytosolic Ah receptor, with o-aminoazotoluene and 3-methoxy-4-aminoazobenzene being the most effective.
