Mutagenicity of anthraquinone and hydroxylated anthraquinones in the Ames/Salmonella microsome system.
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 کاملDesaturation of fatty acids by the psychrophilic bacterium Micrococcus cryophilus [proceedings].
l(8)-monoglucoside were non-mutagenic, as were the glucoside tetra-acetates of alizarin, chrysazin and quinizarin. When tested with the bacterial enzymes, all glucosides including the tetra-acetates were mutagenic for strain TA1537, apparently owing to formation of the free aglycones, alizarin, chrysazin, quinizarin and emodin, which are specific for strain TA11537. Emodin glucoside exhibited m...
متن کاملMutagenicity of islandicin and chrysophanol in the Salmonella/microsome system.
Chrysophanol and islandicin, two anthraquinones which are structurally related to emodin, were found to be frame-shift mutagens for Salmonella typhimurium strain TA 1537 after metabolic activation.
متن کاملAssessment of the Mutagenicity of Sediments from Yangtze River Estuary Using Salmonella Typhimurium/Microsome Assay
Sediments in estuaries are of important environmental concern because they may act as pollution sinks and sources to the overlying water body. These sediments can be accumulated by benthic organisms. This study assessed the mutagenic potential of sediment extracts from the Yangtze River estuary by using the Ames fluctuation assay with the Salmonella typhimurium his (-) strain TA98 (frameshift m...
متن کاملEvaluation of Mutagenicity of Mebudipine, a New Calcium Channel Blocker
Mebudipine is a new dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, synthesized in our laboratory, for treatment of hypertension. It has shown a better efficacy than other drugs in this group. For assessing the risks of this drug, certain safety tests in the preclinical stage have been performed. In this study mutagenic effect of mebudipine was evaluated using Ames assay that could assess the mutageni...
