Disease relevance of Mutagenicity Tests

 

High impact information on Mutagenicity Tests

  • Mutagenicity tests on water specimens form Gassim Region indicated the presence of possible carcinogens [6].
  • Temafloxacin, contrary to most other quinolones, was considered nonmutagenic in all mutagenicity tests conducted [7].
  • Marmoset CYP1A2 expressed in recombinant yeast activated 2-amino-3-methylimidazo [4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) and 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo [4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) efficiently, and also activated 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo [4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), but at a relatively lower rate in the umu mutagenicity test [8].
  • II is stable toward ligand exchange, reduction and disproportionation in the mutagenicity test medium and also in the presence of bacteria and the common cell reductant, glutathione [9].
  • The anti-neoplastic agent procarbazine is genetically active in a variety of short term mutagenicity tests, and it also possesses carcinogenic and teratogenic potential [10].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Mutagenicity Tests

  • The following bioassays were performed in urine samples: a) mutagenicity test and concentration of thioethers as markers of exposure, and b) excretion of D-glucaric acid and 6-beta-hydroxycortisol (related to 17-hydroxycorticosteroid excretion) as indicators of the inductive status of the microsomal enzyme system (phase-I) [35].
  • The antischistosomal agent, hycanthone methanesulfonate (HMS), was employed to illustrate the utility of carrying out several mutagenicity tests in a single concurrent animal experiment [36].
  • Therefore the presence of mutagenic impurities is not responsible for the carcinogenicity of commercial HC Blue No. 1. Discrepancies between the results of mutagenicity and carcinogenicity tests on hair dyes and other chemicals are discussed, and the value of short-term mutagenicity tests for assessing chemical safety is questioned [37].
