Relationships between chemical structures and mutagenicity: a preliminary survey for a database of mutagenicity test results of new work place chemicals.

چکیده
A database of mutagenicity test results of new chemicals has been developed. Based on the amendment of the Industrial Safety and Health Law (ISHL) in 1979, manufacturers and importers in Japan are required to register any new work place chemicals with bacterial mutagenicity test results. At present more than ten thousand substances have been examined. We have surveyed correlations between 44 substructures and mutagenicity in 2,857 ISHL data as well as in 1,207 National Toxicology Program data as a preliminary analysis. The percentages of the mutagenic compounds were calculated. High percentages were found for electrophilic reagents such as epoxides (63%), aromatic nitro compounds (49%) and primary alkyl monohalides (46%). 71% of peroxides was found to be mutagenic. The results suggest that several types of reactions such as nucleophilic substitution reaction, nitrenium cation reaction and radical reaction are included in the process of the mutagenic alterations of DNA.

Evaluation of Mutagenic Potentials of Some Food Additives by Ames Test
Some chemicals used by human such as food additives are mutagenic and mutagenicity effects analysis of them is very important because of considerable consumption by man. One of the most common methods used in the recognition of the chemicals' mutagenicity is Salmonella Typhimurium Reverse Mutation (Ames) test. The purpose of the present study is mutagenicity effects analysis of sodium nitrite, ...
متن کاملA Review on Mutagenicity Testing for Hazard Classification of Chemicals at Work: Focusing on in vivo Micronucleus Test for Allyl Chloride.
Chemical mutagenicity is a major hazard that is important to workers' health. Despite the use of large amounts of allyl chloride, the available mutagenicity data for this chemical remains controversial. To clarify the mutagenicity of allyl chloride and because a micronucleus (MN) test had not yet been conducted, we screened for MN induction by using male ICR mice bone marrow cells. The test res...
متن کاملPrediction of Salmonella mutagenicity.
The ability of a number of prediction systems was examined to determine how well they could predict Salmonella mutagenicity. The prediction systems included two computer-based systems (CASE and TOPKAT), the measurement of a physiochemical parameter (ke) and the use of structural alerts by an expert chemist. The computer-based systems operators and the chemist were supplied with the structures o...
