1-Naphthol was metabolized by the polyphenol oxidase, tyrosinase, primarily to 1,2-naphthoquinone and to small amounts of 1,4-naphthoquinone as well as to covalently bound products.

Similarly, when 1,2-DHN was activated by tyrosinase in the presence of DNA, higher amounts of the N3Ade and N7Gua adducts were detected.
This unstable intermediate can lead to formation of 1-naphthol and naphthalene-1,2-dihydrodiol.
