Mutagenicity of anthraquinone and hydroxylated anthraquinones in the Ames/Salmonella microsome system.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mutagenicity of anthracene, anthraquinone, and four structurally similar compounds of each was evaluated in the Ames/Salmonella microsome assay. Anthraquinone was shown to be mutagenic for strains TA1537, TA1538, and TA98 in the absence of rat liver homogenate. The four anthraquinone derivatives tested were mutagenic for TA1537 exclusively. None of the anthracenes exhibited mutagenic activity.

متن کاملPresentation of benzo(a)pyrene to microsomal enzymes by asbestos fibers in the Salmonella/mammalian microsome mutagenicity test.
The potential effect of asbestos fibers on mutagenicity of benzo(a)pyrene was investigated by using the Ames test. Asbestos fibers without a coating of benzo(a)pyrene or benzo(a)pyrene when not dissolved in DMSO lacked any mutagenic effect in the Salmonella/mammalian microsome mutagenicity test. However, when benzo(a)pyrene was adsorbed onto asbestos, significant numbers of mutated bacteria wer...
متن کاملInvestigations on DNA binding in rat liver and in Salmonella and on mutagenicity in the Ames test by emodin, a natural anthraquinone.
Emodin (1,6,8-trihydroxy-3-methylanthraquinone), an important aglycone found in natural anthraquinone glycosides frequently used in laxative drugs, was mutagenic in the Salmonella/mammalian microsome assay (Ames test) with a specificity for strain TA1537. The mutagenic activity was activation-dependent with an optimal amount of S9 from Aroclor 1254-treated male Sprague-Dawley rats of 20% in the...
