Abstract: | 2-Acetylaminofluorene (AAF) and 2-aminofluorene (AF), as well as their N-hydroxylated metabolites, N-OH-AAF and N-OH-AF, were studied for mutagenic effects in Salmonella typhimurium with rat- and mouse-liver S9 and microsomal subfractions in the presence of cofactors for glucuronidation and glutathione (GSH) transfer. Addition of UDPGA did not affect the mutagenicity of AAF, AF or N-OH-AAF under any experimental condition. Addition of GSH, on the other hand, markedly inhibited AAF, AF and N-OH-AAF. This seemed to be due to the direct effect of GSH, and not through an enzyme-catalyzed conjugation. Further, GSH inhibited the direct mutagenicity of N-OH-AF. |
