Five aromatic nitroso compounds were prepared and their mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 compared with that of the corresponding hydroxylamines and the previously studied nitroarenes. A remarkable correspondence of the dose-response curves was observed between the nitroso and the respective hydroxylamine compounds. This effect could be observed in TA98 and TA100. It was only marginally dependent on the metabolical activation by rat liver S9-mix. Even the presence of a bulky alkyl substituent either near to the functional group, or far away from it, previously shown to considerably influence the mutagenic properties of nitroarenes, does not remarkably affect the properties of the nitroso and hydroxylamine species. The similarity between the latter two is likely to be due to a fast reduction of the nitrosoarenes to the hydroxylamine species under the test conditions. It seems that enzymes are not responsible for that reduction step, because sterical crowding near the functional group does not influence that behaviour.The test results of the aromatic hydroxylamines bearing a bulky substituent show that there are at least two ways to influence the mutagenicity of an aromatic nitro compound by such a group. A substituent near the functional group (ortho-position) disturbs the enzymatic reduction of the nitro group, because 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxylaminobiphenyl and its corresponding nitroso compound are highly mutagenic, whereas 3-tert-butyl-4-nitrobiphenyl was previously shown to be inactive even after addition of S9-mix. In contrast, 4'-tert-butyl-4-hydroxylaminobiphenyl with the tert-butyl group "far away" from the hydroxylamino functionality clearly shows decreased mutagenic activity suggesting a different influence of a substituent in that position. In addition, the substance shows only little cell toxicity even at higher concentrations. Both effects could be due to a reduced effective dose of the hydroxylamine in the cells compared to the non-alkylated compound, caused by a faster degradation of the hydroxylamine or a hindered interaction between that substance and the cells. 相似文献

The mutagenicity of 33 quinolines in the Salmonella test using TA98 and TA100 cells has been reported. Significant activity was found only with TA100 cells. Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) could be formulated using molecular orbital parameters or Hammett constants and hydrophobic parameters for those compounds with substituents in the 6, 7 and 8 positions. The QSAR points to the 2-position on the quinoline ring as being the site for activation by S9 oxidation. 相似文献

The chemical class separation of coal-pyrolyzed products and the photochemical reaction of these fractions with nitrogen oxides in the experimental chamber, and the application of a short-term mutagenicity test were investigated. The altered products from the fraction hydroxy polycyclic aromatic compounds in a simulated atmosphere containing a small volume of nitrogen oxides under irradiation with a xenon lamp were the most potent mutagenic fraction among all the fractions tested against Salmonella typhimurium, both TA98 and TA100, with or without S9. 相似文献

The mutagenic activity of furfural was tested in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. Furfural produced mutations in the TA100 strain, but not in the TA98 strain. A rat-liver microsomal fraction did not increase the mutagenic activity of furfural in either strain. Mutagenic activity of furfural in the TA100 strain was not increased by benzo[alpha]pyrene in the presence of metabolic activation. 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

Twenty-two N-nitrosamides and related compounds, including 14 nitrosoureas, 5 nitrosocarbamates, and one nitrosocyanamide, were tested at various concentrations for mutagenic activity towards Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 without the use of microsomes. The ether-water partition coefficient, solubility in water, and half-life in aqueous solution were also measured. Twenty compounds were mutagenic, with "standard mutagenic concentrations" (i.e. those producing 100 mutants/dish) of 0.0024--6500 micron. Standard mutagenic concentration was negatively correlated with the partition coefficient. Three compounds (ethyl 2-acetoxyethylnitrosocarbamate, nitrosocarbaryl, and methylnitrosobenzamide) were more active than the classic mutagen methylnitrosonitroguanidine. Nitrosocarbamates were at least 50 times more mutagenic than the corresponding nitrosoureas. Nitrosodihydrouracil and propylene-nitrosourea were more active than related compounds. Ethylnitrosocyanamide was 730 times more mutagenic than ethylnitrosourea. Fifteen of the test compounds (of which 14 were mutagenic) had previously been assayed in rats for carcinogenicity, all with positive results. 相似文献

Alkylhydrazines are important carcinogens. However, they show generally only weak mutagenicity and the activities reported from different laboratories are contradictory. We have developed a sensitive method to detect the mutagenicity of alkylhydrazines. The method is based on a modified preculturing procedures in the Ames test, the emphasis in the modification being a change in the growth period of tester strains. The optimal growth periods were found to be 11 h in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and 5 h in Salmonella typhimurium TA102. We tested the mutagenic activity of 12 alkylhydrazines; 1,2-dimetehylhydrazine, 1,2-diethylhydrazine, 1,2-dipropylhydrazine. 1,2-dibutylhydrazine, 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, 1,1-diethylhydrazine, 1,1-dipropylhydrazine, 1,1-dibutylhydrazine, methylhydrazine, ethylhydrazine, propylhydrazine, and butylhdyrazine. All 12 alkylhydrazines were clearly mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA102, and 10 hydrazines were mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, both in the absence of S9 mix. The mutagenicity was inhibited by the addition of S9 mix or bovine serum albumin. This suggests deactivation of the mutagens by proteins. 相似文献

Salmonella typhimurium strains which are commonly used in the Ames test for screening potential carcinogens were examined for a number of drug-metabolizing systems. Neither cytochrome P-450 itself nor two activities catalyzed by the cytochrome P-450 system in mammalian cells, i.e., benzpyrene monooxygenase and ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation, could be detected. Nor do these bacterial strains demonstrate any ability to detoxify epoxides by hydrating them or to conjugate p-nitrophenol with glucuronic acid.On the other hand, S. typhimurium strains G46, TA1535, TA100, TA1538 and TA98 contain considerable amounts of acid-soluble thiols, approx. 5–10% of which is glutathione. These bacteria can also enzymatically conjugate glutathione with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and can reduce oxidized glutathione using NADPH as cofactor.Thus, enzymatic and non-enzymatic reaction of immediate carcinogens with thiol groups in S. typhimurium may have a significant effect on the outcome of the Ames test in certain cases. 相似文献

25 aliphatic nitrosamines were examined in the Ames assay for bacterial mutagens, using rat liver "S-9" for activation. Of them, 8 carcinogens were mutagenic and 5 non-carcinogens were not mutagenic. However, 2 compounds not carcinogenic in rats were mutagenic and 9 carcinogens were not mutagenic, including 6 that are liver carcinogens in rats. 相似文献

Mutagenicity of several nitroso derivatives of piperazine was assayed using histidine auxotrophic strains of Salmonella typhimurium. Nitroso derivatives of piperazine required metabolic activation with preference to phenobarbital induced rat-liver microsomal enzymes. We observed a good correlation between a positive effect in the mutation assay and the carcinogenic potency of the compound. Even though our results are not in complete agreement with earlier published work using several microbial mutation assay systems, the differences we observed demonstrate the predictive value of an in vitro activation system using S. typhimurium to detect carcinogenic compounds as mutagens. 相似文献

Thirty compounds of various chemical classes were investigated for mutagenicity in a collaborative study (3 laboratories) using Salmonella typhimurium TA102. With 5 compounds, namely hydrazine sulfate, phenylhydrazine, hydralazine, glutardialdehyde and glyoxal, mutagenicity was detected by all laboratories. Formaldehyde was assessed as weakly mutagenic in only 1 of 3 laboratories. The remaining 24 agents were uniformly described as non-genotoxic in TA102. In spite of the overall good qualitative agreement in the mutagenicity results between the 3 laboratories some quantitative discrepancies occurred in the dose response of the mutagenic compounds. Varying inter- and intra-laboratory differences in the spontaneous rate of revertants were obtained. The usefulness of the tester strain TA102 in routine mutagenicity testing is discussed. 相似文献

Four commercial ethanolic plant extracts, Tinctura Alchemillae, Extractum Crataegi, Extractum Myrtilli and Tinctura Hyperici, were tested for their mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 with and without S9 mix obtained from rats pretreated with phenobarbital. The extracts studied differed greatly in their mutagenic potencies but exhibited a very similar mutation pattern in which the strongest effect was always seen in tester strain TA98 with S9 mix. Simultaneously we investigated the extracts for the presence of quercetin and kaempferol. Only quercetin was detected in small amounts by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The fractions containing quercetin were separated and collected using a Sephadex LH-20 column. Two different methods were employed to estimate the amount of quercetin in the extracts: a colorimetric assay developed by Christ and Müller, and a complexometric method by Belikov. The quercetin concentrations ranged between 2 mg (Tinctura Alchemilla) and 89 mg (Tinctura Hyperici) per 100 g of extract. We suggest that the mutagenicity of the 4 plant extracts is mainly due to the presence of quercetin for the following reasons: (1) all the plant extracts exhibit a mutation pattern which is very similar to that of quercetin, (2) the mutagenic potential of the extracts correlates well with their quercetin content, considering the fact that plant extracts are very complex mixtures often containing toxic or antimutagenic compounds. 相似文献

Racemic 3a,8a-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]benzofuran has been chemically synthesized as a model of the vinyl ether structure of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and tested for mutagenicity. In the presence of 9000g rat liver supernatant fraction the compound induced his+ revertant colonies in TA 100 but with only one five-thousandth the activity of AFB1. No mutagenicity was found when strain TA98 was used. Omission of the rat liver preparation abolished mutagenic activity. The reduced compound, tetrahydrofurobenzofuran, was inactive as a mutagen either in the presence or absence of the rat liver supernatant. 相似文献
