Abstract

A possible statistical treatment of the results obtained in Salmonella typhimurium TA1950, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100 using the Salmonella/microsomes test was investigated. An analysis of independent repeated experiments pointed to the divergence of the data obtained. Consequently, it has been recommended to carry out the statistical treatment of experimental data within the limits of dispersion analysis with the subsequent use of the Scheffe's method for multiple comparisons. To stabilize the dispersion of experimental data, it is suggested to express the number of revertant colonies as lnX. A minimal volume of the data sample needed for resolving experimental tasks has been calculated. In standard experiments aimed at revealing the mutagenic activity of the compounds used, three Petri dishes should be used in each variant of experiments.

Mutagenicity of wood smoke condensates in the Salmonella/microsome assay.

Smoke condensates of woods used for food preservation and aromatization in Nigeria were tested for mutagenic activity using Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100. The woods were: white mangrove (Avicennia nitida), red mangrove (Rhizophora racemosa), mahogany Khaya sp.), abura (Mitragyna ciliata), alstonia (Alstonia boonei) and black afara (Terminalia ivorensis). Cigarette tar was tested for comparison. The condensates induced dose-dependent increases in the number of His+ revertants mainly with S9 mix. With the exception of mahogany and cigarette smoke condensate, the smoke condensates induced more revertants/microgram condensate in TA100 than in TA98. The number of revertants/microgram condensate ranged between 0.04 and 0.9 for the wood smoke condensates and was 0.12 for the cigarette smoke in TA100. The range was between 0.1 and 0.30 for the wood smoke condensates and 0.18 revertants/microgram condensate for cigarette smoke condensate in TA98. Concentrations of 7 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the condensates were determined namely, pyrene, benzo[a]pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[b]chrysene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene and dibenzo[a,e]pyrene. The condensates contained varying concentrations of the individual PAHs and those with higher concentrations generally showed greater mutagenic activities. However, the order of mutagenic potency in the bacterial strains differed from the order of PAH concentrations, which were lower than the concentrations at which they are reported to induce mutations. When 6 of the PAHs were mixed in the concentrations in which they were found in the individual condensates, the mixtures did not induce mutation so that the contribution of the PAHs to the mutagenic activities of the condensates could not be determined.

Genotoxic, mutagenic and recombinogenic effects of rauwolfia alkaloids.

In the last decade, the possible correlation between the use of reserpine and rauwolfia drugs as antihypertensive agents and breast cancer incidence has been investigated. For the purpose of evaluating the mutagenic and genotoxic effects of these drugs, reserpine and ajmalicine were studied using the SOS Chromotest and the induction of gene conversion, crossing-over and reverse mutation in the yeast diploid strain XS2316. The results indicated a lack of genotoxic, mutagenic and recombinogenic effects.
