28 chemicals known to be mutagenic in the Ames test but not carconigenic in rodent bioassays were selected for study. The chemicals were administered by gavage in 2 dose levels to female Sprague-Dawley rats. The effects of these 28 chemicals on 4 biochemical assays (hepatic DNA damage by alkaline elution (DD), hepatic ornithine decarboxylase activity (ODC), serum alanine aminotransferase activity (ALT), and hepatic cytochrome P-450 content (P450)) were determined. The scientific approach taken was to either experimentally find individual cancer predictors of high specificity or to mathematically create composite predictors of high specificity. Composite predictive parameters are defined as follows: CP = [ODC and P450], CT = [ALT and ODC] and TS = [DD or CP or CT]. The specificity (percent of rodent noncarcinogens which test negative) of DD, ODC, ALT, P450, CP, CT and TS was 100%, 46%, 89%, 86%, 93%, 93% and 86%, respectively. For these 28 mutagenic noncarcinogens, the specificity of structural alerts (SA) 13%, mutation in mouse lymphoma cells (MOLY) 0%, chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells (ABS) 13%, and sister-chromatid exchange in Chinese hamster ovary cells (SCE) 0% were much lower. The ke test, an experimental measure of electron attachment, had a specificity of 33%. DD was the only DNA related parameter to predict well the noncarcinogenic rodent bioassay result of Ames false-positive chemicals. 5 nongenotoxic parameters (ALT, P450, CP, CT and [CP or CT]) predicted the rodent bioassay result well. Depending on the prevalence of chemicals carcinogenic to humans, the problem of Ames test false positives for predicting human cancer may be either small or large. 相似文献

The mutagenicity of nifurtimox (nfx) and 8 nfx analogues has been investigated with the L-arabinose forward-mutation assay of Salmonella typhimurium. The nfx analogues tested were obtained by replacing the 3-methyl-4-yl-tetrahydro-1,4-thiazine-1,1-dioxide group of the parent compound with the following other groups: indazol-1-yl (1); pyrazol-1-yl (2); benzimidazol-1-yl (3); 1,2,4-triazol-4-yl (4); 1-methyl-3-methylthio-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl-5-thione (5); 3,5-bis(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl (6); 1-adamantyl (7); 4,6-diphenylpyridin-1-yl-2-one (8). The mutagenic activity of each chemical was determined by the standard plate-incorporation test, in the presence or absence of the S9 activation mixture. The 9 compounds were mutagenic and exhibited linear dose-mutagenic response relationships. They were direct-acting mutagens and showed a nearly 1000-fold range in mutagenic potency from chemical 1 to nfx. In most cases, the addition of S9 mixture to the test plates decreased the mutagenicity of compounds. This effect was particularly noticeable in the case of chemicals 1-3, 5 and 7 where a more than 70% decrease in mutagenic activity was observed in the presence of the S9 mixture. The mutagenic potency of compounds in the Ara test showed a negative linear correlation with previously reported antitrypanosomal activity. Thus, chemicals 6 and 8 with in vitro activities against Trypanosoma cruzi clearly superior to that of nfx showed 2 of the lowest mutagenic potencies in the Ara test and these were only somewhat higher than the mutagenicity of the reference drug. 相似文献

Ten imidazole derivatives were tested for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation by the microsomal fraction S9 mix. In a general
manner, derivatives tested exhibited a greater mutagenic activity in the TA100 strain comparing to the responses in TA 98.
In the standard plate incorporation assay, 8 of these substances (80%) were found to be mutagenic for at least one of the
two strains in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. Two compounds showed positive results in TA98 and 6 compounds
were also mutagenic in TA100 without S9. In the presence of S9 mix, all of the 10 substances were non-mutagenic in TA98, whereas
4 compounds were positive in TA100. The results suggested the mutagenic potentials of the imidazole derivatives particularly
inducing the reversion of base-pair substitutions. According to the structure-activity relationships phenyl groups in position
2 with different substituents can confer the mutagenic activity of the tested compounds. Methyl groups in different positions
of these phenyl substituents can cause different types of mutations. This mutagenic effect is observed more clearly when the
phenyl group is inhibited with a nitro group. 相似文献

Quinacrine has been used for voluntary female non-surgical sterilization for its ability to produce tubal occlusion. Safety issues regarding quinacrine have been raised because it has been shown to intercalate with DNA. Therefore, safety issues need to be resolved by appropriate toxicology studies to support a review for human transcervical use. Such toxicology studies include mutagenicity assays. Here we report an evaluation of the genotoxicity of quinacrine dihydrochloride dihydrate (QH) using a battery of assays. In the bacterial mutagenicity assay, QH was strongly positive in Salmonella typhimurium tester strain TA1537 with and without S9-activation and in S. typhimurium tester strain TA98 with S9-activation; QH was also strongly positive in Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA without S9-activation. QH was not mutagenic in S. typhimurium tester strains TA100 and TA1535 with and without S9-activation. QH was mutagenic in the mouse lymphoma assay in the absence of S9-activation. QH was clastogenic in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, with and without S9-activation. QH was negative for polyploidy in the same chromosome aberration test. Using a triple intraperitoneal injection treatment protocol in both male and female mice, QH was negative in the in vivo mouse micronucleated erythrocyte (micronucleus) assay. These results confirm that QH is mutagenic and clastogenic in vitro and suggest a potential risk to human health due to QH exposure after intrauterine exposure. 相似文献

For the purpose of assessing mutagenic effects (clastogenicity) of metabolites derived from chemical mutagens/carcinogens on human sperm chromosomes, spermatozoa were exposed in vitro to cyclophosphamide (CP), benzo(a)pyrene (BP) or N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) for 2h in the presence or absence of rat liver S9, a metabolic activator of these chemicals. After in vitro fertilization between human spermatozoa and zona-free hamster oocytes, chromosome complements of sperm origin were analyzed cytogenetically.In the absence of S9, none of three chemicals (20 microg/ml CP, 200 microg/ml BP and 20mg/ml NDMA) caused a significant increase in spermatozoa with structural chromosome aberrations (8.6, 10.0 and 7.5%), as compared with their matched controls (10.9, 11.0 and 8.5%). In the presence of S9, however, a significant increase in chromosomally abnormal spermatozoa was observed in CP (37.1%, P < 0.001) and BP (31.0%, P < 0.001), indicating that enzymatic activation of CP and BP induced chromosomal abnormalities in human sperm. In contrast, NDMA did not induce chromosome aberrations in human spermatozoa by S9 treatment, although positive results have been observed in somatic cells. The present results on in vitro clastogenicity of CP, BP and NDMA are consistent with the results in previous in vivo studies with murine spermatozoa. Our S9/human sperm chromosome assay seems to be useful for estimation of hereditary risk of chemicals in human. Because most chemicals need metabolic activation to bind to DNA. 相似文献

7 laboratories participated in a collaborative study to evaluate an EPA standard protocol for the Ames test. The study utilized Salmonella typhimurium (strains TA98 and TA100) and 3 metabolic activation levels (0%, 2%, and 10% S9 in the S9 mix). 6 pure chemicals and 2 complex mixtures were tested as coded unknowns. Ability to obtain qualitative results in agreement with published data was less (% agreement) than that reported in an earlier study (% agreement) by de Serres and Ashby (1981) in which each laboratory used its own protocol. The conclusion from analysis of the quantitative data from this interlaboratory Ames study was that both intralaboratory and interlaboratory variations were substantial. Results for the same substance varied by an order of magnitude or more (CV of 115%) when the mutagenic response was measured as the slope of the dose response in revertants/microgram. Taking interlaboratory variation into account, one chemical must be more than an order of magnitude more mutagenic than another (ratio of slopes greater than 10) to have only an even chance of finding a statistically significant difference between the two chemicals at the 5% level. Such large variations must be taken into account when evaluating Ames/Salmonella data. 相似文献

The first aim was to compare the genotoxicities of two tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA), 4-(methylnitrosamino)-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) in two types of tests, the Salmonella reverse mutation assay (250-2000 microg per plate) and the Mutatox test (up to 1000 microg/ml) using dark mutant M-169 of Vibrio fischeri. The second aim was to assess the effects of single other tobacco chemicals and metabolites (nicotine (NIC), cotinine (COT), trans-3-hydroxycotinine (3HC), cotinine-N-oxide (CNO) and nicotine-N-oxide (NNO)) on the mutagenic responses at relative concentrations observed physiologically. The Salmonella strains were TA100, TA7004, TA7005, and TA7006, all showing missense backmutations that are characteristic of the TSNA. NNN was a direct mutagen to strains TA100, TA7004, and in the Mutatox test, and was not mutagenic in the presence of rat or hamster S9. NNK was mutagenic only in strain TA7004 with rat and hamster S9, but not in TA100, but was directly mutagenic in the Mutatox test. While all the other tobacco chemicals were not mutagenic alone to strains TA100 and TA7004 in the presence and absence of rat or hamster S9, the Mutatox test produced direct mutagenicity for COT, 3HC, and NNO, but not CNO. The latter was mutagenic in the Mutatox test with rat or hamster S9, but only rat S9 was effective for COT, NNO and 3HC. Inhibitory potentiations of NNN by NIC and COT were observed on strain TA7004, and by NIC on strain TA100. There were no interactions on NNK in the presence of S9 for strain TA7004 or TA100. In contrast, a complex inhibition and enhancement behavior occurred in the Mutatox test for each interaction, but no effects were observed for CNO on NNK without S9, and few for NIC on NNK with hamster S9. Compounds which showed no activity alone modulated the genotoxicity of two potent TSNAs in both types of tests. 相似文献

We conducted genetic toxicity evaluations of 11 candidate chemopreventive agents with the potential for inhibiting carcinogenesis in humans at increased risk of cancer. The compounds were evaluated for bacterial mutagenesis in the Salmonella-E. coli assay, for mammalian mutagenesis in mouse lymphoma cells, for chromosome aberrations in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells, and for micronucleus induction in mouse bone marrow. Tested agents were indole 3-carbinol (I3C), bowman-birk inhibitor concentrate (BBIC), black tea polyphenols (BTP), farnesol, geraniol, l-Se-methylselenocysteine (SeMC), 5,6-dihydro-4H-cyclopenta[1,2]-dithiol-3-thione(DC-D3T), 4'-bromoflavone, 2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-(2R-[4R,8R,12-trimethyltridecyl] chroman-6-yloxy) acetic acid (alpha-TEA), SR13668 (2,10-dicarbethoxy-6-methoxy-5,7-dihydro-indolo[2,3-b] carbazole and SR16157 (3-O-sulfamoyloxy-7alpha-methyl-21-(2-N,N-diethylaminoethoxy)-19-norpregna-1,3,5(10)-triene). All these agents, except I3C and BTP, were negative in the Salmonella-E. coli assay in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (S9). I3C and BTP induced a weak mutagenic response in the presence and absence of S9 with strains TA100 and TA98, respectively. Of the three compounds tested in the mouse lymphoma assay (I3C, BBIC, and BTP), only BTP was mutagenic in the presence of S9. In the chromosomal aberration assay, of the 8 compounds that were tested, 4'-bromoflavone elicited a positive response in the absence of S9 only, while SR16157 was positive in the presence of S9. The results with geraniol remain inconclusive. I3C, BBIC and BTP were not tested in the chromosomal aberration assay. None of the 11 agents induced micronuclei in mouse bone marrow erythrocytes. 相似文献

Tertiary-Butyl alcohol (TBA), tertiary-butyl acetate (TBAc) and methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) are chemicals to which the general public may be exposed either directly or as a result of their metabolism. There is little evidence that they are genotoxic; however, an earlier publication reported that significant results were obtained in Salmonella typhimurium TA102 mutagenicity tests with both TBA and MTBE. We now present results of testing these chemicals and TBAc against S. typhimurium strains in two laboratories. The emphasis was placed on testing with S. typhimurium TA102 and the use of both dimethyl sulphoxide and water as vehicles. Dose levels up to 5000 microg/plate were used and incubations were conducted in both the presence and absence of liver S9 prepared from male rats treated with either Arochlor 1254 or phenobarbital-beta-naphthoflavone. The experiments were replicated, but in none of them was a significant mutagenic response observed, thus the current evidence indicates the TBA, TBAc and MTBE are not mutagenic in bacteria. 相似文献

Fourteen new quinoline derivatives were synthesised and their mutagenicity compared in the Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium TA100 as indicator strain with and without (Aroclor-induced) S9 mix. None of the synthesised quinoline derivatives had to our knowledge been examined before in the Ames test. Quinoline and the monohydroxyquinolines were included as reference compounds. Three of the new derivatives, i.e., quinoline 7,8-oxide, N-methyl-quinoline 5,6-oxide and trans-quinoline-5,6,7,8-dioxide appeared to be mutagenic. Quinoline 7,8-oxide was positive only in the presence of S9 mix, the specific mutagenicity amounting to 2498 +/- 96 and 1289 +/- 120 revertants per mumole with 20 and 10% S9 in the mix, respectively. Both N-methyl-quinoline 5,6-oxide and trans-quinoline-5,6,7,8-dioxide were weakly positive, the former only in the presence of the S9 mix, and the latter irrespective of the presence of S9 mix, the specific mutagenicity amounting to 134 +/- 6 and 123 +/- 10 revertants per mumole, respectively. The mutagenic potency of quinoline 7,8-oxide was of the same order as that of quinoline itself and was distinctly lower than that of 8-hydroxyquinoline. Inconclusive results were obtained with trans-7,8-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydroquinoline, 5,6-dihydroxy-7,8-epoxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline and 8-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide; if these compounds are mutagenic their mutagenic potency would be at least 20-30 times lower than that of the parent compounds. None of the other chemically synthesised quinoline derivatives showed mutagenic activity with TA100 either in the presence or in the absence of S9 mix. The results obtained with the reference compounds were in accordance with literature data. 相似文献

The genotoxic activities of three cancer chemopreventive drug candidates, CP-31398 (a cell permeable styrylquinazoline p53 modulator), SHetA2 (a flexible heteroarotinoid), and phospho-ibuprofen (PI, a derivative of ibuprofen) were tested. None of the compounds were mutagenic in the Salmonella/Escherichia coli/microsome plate incorporation test. CP-31398 and SHetA2 did not induce chromosomal aberrations (CA) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, either in the presence or absence of rat hepatic S9 (S9). PI induced CA in CHO cells, but only in the presence of S9. PI, its parent compound ibuprofen, and its moiety diethoxyphosphoryloxybutyl alcohol (DEPBA) were tested for CA and micronuclei (MN) in CHO cells in the presence of S9. PI induced CA as well as MN, both kinetochore-positive (Kin+) and -negative (Kin-), in the presence of S9 at ≤100μg/ml. Ibuprofen was negative for CA, positive for MN with Kin+ at 250μg/ml, and positive for MN with Kin- at 125 and 250μg/ml. DEPBA induced neither CA nor MN at ≤5000μg/ml. The induction of chromosomal damage in PI-treated CHO cells in the presence of S9 may be due to its metabolites. None of the compounds were genotoxic, in the presence or absence of S9, in the GADD45α-GFP Human GreenScreen assay and none induced MN in mouse bone marrow erythrocytes. 相似文献

The mutagenicity of 7 positional isomers of aminoquinolines (AQ) and their N-acetyl derivatives (AcAQ) was tested in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and TA98 in the presence and absence of S9 mix. In a series of aminoquinolines, the order of mutagenic potency in the presence of S9 mix is: 5-AQ greater than 8-AQ greater than 7-AQ greater than 3-AQ greater than 2-AQ much greater than 4-AQ, 6-AQ. The alpha-positional isomers, 5-AQ and 8-AQ, are more mutagenic than the beta-isomer, 2-, 3-, 6-, 7-AQ's. These results are in contrast to the finding that beta-naphthylamine is more mutagenic than alpha-naphthylamine. In a series of N-acetylaminoquinolines, the order of mutagenic potency in the presence of S9 mix is: 7-AcAQ greater than 6-AcAQ greater than 8-AcAQ much greater than all the others. It is suggested that the AQ and AcAQ series might exert their mutagenicity through different molecular mechanisms (i.e., metabolic activation) from each other. The rate of metabolic activation does not seem to be correlated with the mutagenic potency of the compounds. It is noteworthy that 7-AQ and 8-AQ are mutagenic in both the strains tested in the absence of S9 mix. 相似文献

The published results on 60 chemicals and X-rays investigated in the mouse spot test were compared with data on the same chemicals tested in the bacterial mutation assay (Ames test) and lifetime rodent bioassays. The performance of the spot test as an in vivo complementary assay to the in vitro bacterial mutagenesis test reveals that of 60 agents, 38 were positive in both systems, 6 were positive only in the spot test, 10 were positive only in the bacterial test and 6 were negative in both assays. The spot test was also considered as a predictor of carcinogenesis; 45 chemicals were carcinogenic of which 35 were detected as positive by the spot test and 3 out of 6 non-carcinogens were correctly identified as negative. If the results are regarded in sequence, i.e. that a positive result in a bacterial mutagenicity test reveals potential that may or may not be realized in vivo, then 48 chemicals were mutagenic in the bacterial mutation assay of which 38 were active in the spot test and 31 were confirmed as carcinogens in bioassays. 12 chemicals were non-mutagenic to bacteria of which 6 gave positive responses in the spot test and 5 were confirmed as carcinogens. These results provide strong evidence that the mouse coat spot test is an effective complementary test to the bacterial mutagenesis assay for the detection of genotoxic chemicals and as a confirmatory test for the identification of carcinogens. The main deficiency at present is the paucity of data from the testing of non-carcinogens. With further development and improvement of the test it is probable that the predictive performance of the assay in identifying carcinogens should improve, since many of the false negative responses may be due to inadequate testing. 相似文献

111 chemicals of known rodent carcinogenicity (49 carcinogens, 62 noncarcinogens), including many promoters of carcinogenesis, nongenotoxic carcinogens, hepatocarcinogens, and halogenated hydrocarbons, were selected for study. The chemicals were administered by gavage in two dose levels to female Sprague-Dawley rats. The effects of these 111 chemicals on 4 biochemical assays (hepatic DNA damage by alkaline elution (DD), hepatic ornithine decarboxylase activity (ODC), serum alanine aminotransferase activity (ALT), and hepatic cytochrome P-450 content (P450)) were determined. Composite parameters are defined as follows: CP = [ODC and P450), CT = [ALT and ODC), and TS = [DD or CP or CT]. The operational characteristics of TS for predicting rodent cancer were sensitivity 55%, specificity 87%, positive predictivity 77%, negative predictivity 71%, and concordance 73%. For these chemicals, the 73% concordance of this study was superior to the concordance obtained from published data from other laboratories on the Ames test (53%), structural alerts (SA) (46%), chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells (ABS) (48%), cell mutation in mouse lymphoma 15178Y cells (MOLY) (52%), and sister-chromatid exchange in Chinese hamster ovary cells (SCE) (60%). The 4 in vivo biochemical assays were complementary to each other. The composite parameter TS also shows complementarity to all 5 other predictors of rodent cancer examined in this paper. For example, the Ames test alone has a concordance of only 53%. In combination with TS, the concordance is increased to 62% (Ames or TS) or to 63% (Ames and TS). For the 67 chemicals with data available for SA, the concordance for predicting rodent carcinogenicity was 47% (for SA alone), 54% (for SA or TS), and 66% (for SA and TS). These biochemical assays will be useful: (1) to predict rodent carcinogenicity per se, (2) to 'confirm' the results of short-term mutagenicity tests by the high specificity mode of the biochemical assays (the specificity and positive predictivity are both 100%), and (3) to be a component of future complementary batteries of tests for predicting rodent carcinogenicity. 相似文献

8 representative 2-substituted 5-nitrofurans were assayed for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA98NR and TA98/1,8-DNP6. The tested compounds were: 5-nitro-2-furanacrylic N-(5-nitro-2-furfurylidene)hydrazide (1); furazolidone (2); 5-nitro-2-furanacrolein (3); 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde semicarbazone (4); 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde (5); nitrofurantoin (6); 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde diacetate (7); and 5-nitro-2-furoic acid (8). These compounds exhibited markedly different mutagenic activities in TA98, and these mutagenicities were similar both in the presence and the absence of rat-liver hepatic S9 activation enzymes. The mutagenic responses ranged from potent (90-300 revertants/nmole, compounds 1-3), to medium (about 10 revertants/nmole, compounds 4 and 6), to weak (0-4 revertants/nmole, compounds 5, 7 and 8). The mutagenicity of 3 was similar in all 3 tester strains, while compound 8 was essentially inactive. The mutagenicities of 1, 4, 5 and 7 were decreased 30-75% in TA98NR, while 2 and 6 showed an even greater depression of activity in this strain. Compound 6 with S9 was about equally mutagenic in TA98 and TA98/1,8-DNP6, while the activities of 6 without S9 and 2 and 7 both with and without S9 were 50-75% lower in TA98/1,8-DNP6. Compounds 1, 4 and 5 were only about 5-10% as mutagenic in TA98/1,8-DNP6 as in TA98. These results suggest that: (i) nitrofurans and their S9-mediated metabolites have similar mutagenic potencies; (ii) with the possible exception of No. 3, nitroreduction is the major route of mutagenic activation for these nitrofurans; and (iii) for compounds 2, 6 and 7, both the presumed N-hydroxy and N,O-ester derivatives of the corresponding aminofuran metabolites appear to lead to mutations. 相似文献

Mouse lymphoma L5178Ytk+/- (MOLY) cells and human lymphoblastoid TK6 and WTK-1 cells are widely used to detect mutagens in vitro. MOLY and WTK-1 cells have a p53 mutation, while TK6 cells, which were derived from the same parental line as WTK-1 cells, do not. In this study, we tested the clastogen 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in the Tk assay and the in vitro micronucleus (MN) assay in MOLY, TK6, and WTK-1 cells to clarify whether differential responses were related to p53 gene status. We also determined the effect of 5-FU on the frequency of apoptotic cells and on cell cycle distribution in each cell line. Furthermore, we measured the activity of the 5-FU metabolizing enzymes (thymidylate synthetase (TS), dihydrouracil dehydrogenase (DPD), orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRT), and thymidine phosphorylase (TP)) in each cell line. We treated MOLY cells with 1.0-8.0 microg/mL 5-FU for 3 h and TK6 and WTK-1 cells with 1.56-25 and 3.13-50 microg/mL, respectively, for 4 h. In MOLY cells, the mutation frequency (MF) and MN frequency increased. In WTK-1 cells, the MN frequency but not the MF increased. In TK6 cells, neither the MF nor the MN frequency increased. Furthermore, the IC50 of 5-FU was lower in MOLY cells than in the human cells. The response to 5-FU treatment differed in other ways as well. At the same level of cytotoxicity, the frequency of apoptotic cell was highest in TK6 cells. The cell cycle was delayed just after treatment in MOLY cells while the delay appeared 24 h later in TK6 and WTK-1 cells. Nothing in our analysis, however, revealed marked differences between the cell lines that could account for the severe cytotoxic and mutagenic responses that 5-FU elicited only in MOLY cells. 5-FU is phosphorylated by OPRT and TP and detoxified by DPD. MOLY cells have higher OPRT activity and markedly lower DPD and TP activity than TK6 and WTK-1 cells. The content of TS, however, the target enzyme of 5-FU, was similar in all cell lines, suggesting that 5-FU was more readily phosphorylated and less readily detoxified in MOLY cells than in TK6 and WTK-1 cells. MOLY cells were more sensitive to 5-FU than WTK-1 cells even though both have a mutated p53 gene, suggesting that the different responses to 5-FU were due to differences in 5-FU metabolism rather than the p53 status. 相似文献

The mutagenicity of products formed by ozonation of naphthoresorcinol in aqueous solution was assayed with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA104 in the presence and absence of S9 mix from phenobarbital- and 5,6-benzoflavone-induced rat liver. Ozonated naphthoresorcinol was mutagenic in TA97, TA98, TA100 and TA104 without S9 mix. By the addition of S9 mix, the mutagenic activity of ozonated naphthoresorcinol was markedly suppressed in TA98 and TA100, but became positive in TA102. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after derivatization to 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones demonstrated the formation of glyoxal as an ozonation product of naphthoresorcinol. Ion chromatographic technique also demonstrated the formation of o-phthalic acid, muconic acid, maleic acid, mesoxalic acid, glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid as ozonation products. The mutagenicity assays of these identified products with five Salmonella showed that glyoxal and glyoxylic acid were directly mutagenic; the former in TA100, TA102 and TA104, the latter in TA97, TA100 and TA104. In the presence of S9 mix, glyoxylic acid gave a positive response of mutagenicity for TA102. The experimental evidence supported that glyoxal and glyoxylic acid may contribute to the mutagenicity of ozonated naphthoresorcinol. 相似文献

The mutagenic activities toward S. typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 of K-region derivatives of 1-nitropyrene and pyrene were determined. The compounds tested were trans-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxy-1-nitropyrene (Compound 3), trans-4,5-dihydro-4,5-dihydroxypyrene (Compound 4), 1-nitropyrene-4,5-quinone (Compound 5), 1-nitropyrene-9,10-quinone (Compound 6), pyrene-4,5-quinone (Compound 7), and the lactones, 1-nitro-5H-phenanthro[4,5-bcd]pyran-5-one (Compound 8), 3-nitro-5H-phenanthro[4,5-bcd]pyran-5-one (Compound 9), and 5H-phenanthro[4,5-bcd]pyran-5-one (Compound 10). Neither pyrene nor any of its K-region derivatives was mutagenic, either in the absence or presence of S9 mix at the doses tested. Of the K-region derivatives of 1-nitropyrene, the lactones (Compounds 8 and 9) were generally the most active; 0.25 microgram/plate induced 900-2200 revertants in TA98 or TA100 without activation. The 4,5-dihydrodiol (Compound 3), an established mammalian metabolite of 1-nitropyrene, was less mutagenic than was 1-nitropyrene in TA98, but was more mutagenic than was 1-nitropyrene in TA100, regardless of the presence of S9 mix. The quinones (Compounds 5 and 6) were less mutagenic than was 1-nitropyrene in the absence of S9 mix in both strains, but their activities were increased in the presence of S9 mix. The mutagenic activities of the lactones (Compounds 8 and 9) were lower in strains TA98NR and TA98/1,8-DNP6 than in TA98, indicating that nitro-reduction and esterification are involved in their activation. The results of this study indicate that K-region derivatives of 1-nitropyrene may be important in its metabolic activation. 相似文献

Apomorphine, N-nor-N-propyl-apomorphine, dopamine, L-DOPA, 6-hydroxydopamine and adrenaline were evaluated for genotoxicity using the Ames test and DNA repair-deficient and DNA repair-proficient Bacillus subtilis strains (rec assay, H17/M45; HLL3g/HJ-15). In the absence of an S9 liver homogenate, apomorphine induced frame-shift mutations in Salmonella typhimurium, mainly in strain TA1537; no indication of DNA-damaging effects in B. subtilis was observed. N-Nor-N-propyl-apomorphine was tested using strain TA1537 only and found to be mutagenic. Dopamine, L-DOPA, 6-hydroxydopamine and adrenaline were non-mutagenic when tested without S9, whereas they were all more toxic for DNA repair-deficient than for DNA repair-proficient B. subtilis strains, indicating a DNA-damaging potential. In a second set of experiments the mode of action of apomorphine and the relevance of the positive Ames test data were investigated. Glutathione in physiological concentrations reduced the mutagenic effect of apomorphine in a dose-dependent way, both in the presence and the absence of S9. S9 also reduced the mutagenicity of apomorphine. By comparing the effects of a complete S9 mix with those of a preparation without glucose-6-phosphate and NADP, it became clear that S9 also had an activating effect, overshadowed under standard conditions by its deactivating activity. Apomorphine was not mutagenic under anaerobic conditions. Superoxide dismutase and catalase reduced the mutagenic effect of apomorphine. All test conditions which reduced the mutagenic effect also inhibited the dark discoloration of the tester plates, indicating a retardation of apomorphine oxidation. It can, therefore, be concluded that oxidation of apomorphine leads to mutagenic products which induce frame-shift mutations in Salmonella typhimurium. This oxidation was prevented both by glutathione in concentrations well below physiological levels and/or by catalase and superoxide dismutase. Under these conditions, apomorphine was non-mutagenic in therapeutic concentrations as well as at higher dose levels. The possibility of genotoxic side effects occurring in patients treated with apomorphine as an emetic drug is therefore considered to be very unlikely. 相似文献
