The gas-phase oxygen abundance of the circumnuclear regions aroundsupermassive black holes (SMBH) has been claimed to be affected by the presenceof an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). However, there is currently no consensuson the mechanism driving this effect. In this work, we explore whether theinterplay between AGN activity and the Ram Pressure Stripping (RPS) caninfluence the metallicity distributions of nearby (z < 0.07) galaxies. To thisaim, we measure the spatially resolved gas-phase oxygen abundances of 10stripped AGN hosts from the GASP survey, as well as 52 AGN hosts found in thefield, which are undisturbed by the effects of ram pressure, drawn from theMaNGA DR15. We find that the metal distributions in these two samples do notdiffer significantly. Only 2 out of the 10 RP-stripped AGNs present loweroxygen abundances at any given radius than the rest of the AGN sample. Overall,this result highlights that the AGN-RPS interplay does not play a significantrole in shaping the metallicity distributions of stripped galaxies within 1.5times the galaxy's effective radius (r < 1.5 Re). However, larger samples arerequired to draw more definitive conclusions. By including a control sample ofSF galaxies, we observe that the AGN hosts are more metal-enriched than SFgalaxies at any given radius. More than that, the steepness of the gradients inthe nuclear regions (r < 0.5 Re) is greater in AGN hosts than in SF galaxies.These results favor the hypothesis that the AGN activity is causing metalpollution in the galaxy's nuclear regions.
