Synthesis and study of the mutagenic activity of di(indeno[2,1-b]indolyl)- and di(indeno[2,1-b]pyrrolyl)methanes and -dimethylsilanes

Dihetaryldimethylsilanes and dihetarylmethanes containing indeno[2,1-b]indolyl and indeno[2,1-b]pyrrolyl fragments were synthesized. Their mutagenic activity was tested according to Ames with standard test strains Salmonella typhimurium TA 1537, TA 98, and TA 100.     

Searching for an enhanced predictive tool for mutagenicity

The Multiple Computer Automated Structure Evaluation (MCASE) program was used to evaluate the mutagenic potential of organic compounds. The experimental Ames test mutagenic activities for 2513 chemicals were collected from various literature sources. All chemicals have experimental results in one or more Salmonella tester strains. A general mutagenicity data set and fifteen individual Salmonella test strain data sets were compiled. Analysis of the learning sets by the MCASE program resulted in the derivation of good correlations between chemical structure and mutagenic activity. Significant improvement was obtained as more data was added to the learning databases when compared with the results of our previous reports. Several biophores were identified as being responsible for the mutagenic activity of the majority of active chemicals in each individual mutagenicity module. It was shown that the multiple-database mutagenicity model showed a clear advantage over normally used single-database models. The expertise produced by this analysis can be used to predict the mutagenic potential of new compounds.     

A strategy for ranking environmentally occurring chemicals. Part VI. QSARs for the mutagenic effects of halogenated aliphatics.

A strategy for the systematic analysis and priority ranking of environmental chemicals has been applied to a class of 58 halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons. A training set of ten compounds representing this class, was selected by statistical design. The training set compounds were then subjected to biological testing in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay (Ames test). The measured biological data, recorded as dose-response curves, were analyzed to determine the mutagenic potency (slope of the initial portion) and the mutagen dose (MD 50) required to increase the number of revertants above the background by 50%. For each compound, four mutagenic potency estimates and four MD 50 values were determined, all originating from the tester strains TA 100 and TA 1535 with and without metabolic activation. The obtained responses were analyzed with multivariate techniques to give QSAR models relating the mutagenic potency data to the physico-chemical properties of the compounds. Finally, the derived QSARs were used to predict the mutagenic potencies and the MD 50S for the non-tested compounds in the class.     

Mutagenicity of silver nanoparticles synthesized with curcumin (Cur-AgNPs)

IntroductionSilver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are of particular interest for their antibacterial properties and are produced by the action of reducing agents on silver ions. Curcumin from Curcuma longa (Zingiberaceae) has been used as a precursor for obtaining biogenic AgNPs, to act as a potential drug.ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of AgNPs synthesized with curcumin (Cur-AgNPs 0.081 mg/mL, ~130 nm) through the Salmonella/microsome (Ames test), one of the first required assays for evaluating toxicity.MethodsThe study design was experimental and in vitro. After defining the preliminary toxicity, the mutagenicity was assessed in a concentration range of 0.0010–0.0081 mg/plate Cur-AgNPs using histidine negative (His−) Salmonella Typhimurium strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, and TA102, with (+S9) and without metabolic activation (−S9), in triplicate. Assays were monitored by positive and negative controls. The results were statistically analyzed by Salanal software with p < 0.05 values considered significant.ResultsThe data obtained in the absence of metabolic activation showed that Cur-AgNPs is not mutagenic, but when exposed to the presence of S9, Cur-AgNPs became mutagenic to TA98 and TA100 strains, showing the significance of metabolizer enzymes to activate Cur-AgNPs on these bacteria, which recovered their abilities in synthesizing histidine (His+).ConclusionCur-AgNPs is mutagenic in the presence (+S9), but not in the absence (−S9) of metabolic activation, being able to act as indirect mutagens potentially to organisms that share the same genotype vulnerabilities found in TA98 and TA100 strains to cause a frameshift and base-pair substitution mutations, respectively.     

Antimutagenic,Cytoprotective and Antioxidant Properties of Ficus deltoidea Aqueous Extract In Vitro

Ficus deltoidea var. deltoidea is used as traditional medicine for diabetes, inflammation, and nociception. However, the antimutagenic potential and cytoprotective effects of this plant remain unknown. In this study, the mutagenic and antimutagenic activities of F. deltoidea aqueous extract (FDD) on both Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 and TA 100 strains were assessed using Salmonella mutagenicity assay (Ames test). Then, the cytoprotective potential of FDD on menadione-induced oxidative stress was determined in a V79 mouse lung fibroblast cell line. The ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay was conducted to evaluate FDD antioxidant capacity. Results showed that FDD (up to 50 mg/mL) did not exhibit a mutagenic effect on either TA 98 or TA 100 strains. Notably, FDD decreased the revertant colony count induced by 2-aminoanthracene in both strains in the presence of metabolic activation (p < 0.05). Additionally, pretreatment of FDD (50 and 100 µg/mL) demonstrated remarkable protection against menadione-induced oxidative stress in V79 cells significantly by decreasing superoxide anion level (p < 0.05). FDD at all concentrations tested (12.5–100 µg/mL) exhibited antioxidant power, suggesting the cytoprotective effect of FDD could be partly attributed to its antioxidant properties. This report highlights that F. deltoidea may provide a chemopreventive effect on mutagenic and oxidative stress inducers.     

In-Silico Screening of High Production Volume Chemicals for Mutagenicity using the mcase QSAR Expert System

Computational screening is suggested as a way to set priorities for further testing of high production volume (HPV) chemicals for mutagenicity and other toxic endpoints. Results are presented for batch screening of 2484 HPV chemicals to predict their mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium (Ames test). The chemicals were tested against 15 databases for Salmonella strains TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA97 and TA98, both with metabolic activation (using rat liver and hamster liver S9 mix test) and without metabolic activation. Of the 2484 chemicals, 1868 are predicted to be completely nonmutagenic in all of the 15 data modules and 39 chemicals were found to contain structural fragments outside the knowledge of the expert system and therefore suggested for further evaluation. The remaining 616 chemicals were found to contain different biophores (structural alerts) believed to be linked to mutagenicity. The chemicals were ranked in descending order according to their predicted mutagenic potential and the first 100 chemicals with highest mutagenicity scores are presented. The screening result offers hope that rapid and inexpensive computational methods can aid in prioritizing the testing of HPV chemicals, save time and animals and help to avoid needless expense.     

Mutagenicity of flavonoids assayed by bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test

The mutagenicity of ten flavonoids was assayed by the Ames test, in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100 and TA102, with the aim of establishing hydroxylation pattern-mutagenicity relationship profiles. The compounds assessed were: quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, fisetin, chrysin, galangin, flavone, 3-hydroxyflavone, 5-hydroxyflavone and 7-hydroxyflavone. In the Ames assay, quercetin acted directly and its mutagenicity increased with metabolic activation. In the presence of S9 mix, kaempferol and galangin were mutagenic in the TA98 strain and kaempferol showed signs of mutagenicity in the other strains. The absence of hydroxyl groups, as in flavone, only signs of mutagenicity were shown in strain TA102, after metabolization and, among monohydroxylated flavones (3-hydroxyflavone, 5-hydroxyflavone and 7-hydroxyflavone), the presence of hydroxyl groups only resulted in minor changes. Luteolin and fisetin also showed signs of mutagenicity in strain TA102. Finally, chrysin, which has only two hydroxy groups, at the 5-OH and 7-OH positions, also did not induce mutagenic activity in any of the bacterial strains used, under either activation condition. All the flavonoids were tested at concentrations varying from 2.6 to 30.7 nmol/plate for galangin and 12.1 to 225.0 nmol/plate for other flavonoids. In light of the above, it is necessary to clarify the conditions and the mechanisms that mediate the biological effects of flavonoids before treating them as therapeutical agents, since some compounds can be biotransformed into more genotoxic products; as is the case for galangin, kaempferol and quercetin.     

Mutagenicity tests with a permeable mutant of yeast on carcinogens showing false-negative in Salmonella assay

The mutagenicity (Trp+ reversion) of procarcinogens such as N-nitrosodimethylamine, 3,4-benzpyrene and 2-acetylaminofluorene has been detected with the permeable mutant of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae C658-K42. The original strain C658, however, showed a positive response only to N-nitrosodimethylamine with S9 mix. The permeable mutant C658-K42 was employed for mutagenicity tests on 12 carcinogens which had been reported to be non-mutagenic in Salmonella/microsome tests. It was found that phenobarbital, thiourea, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine and 4-aminoantipyrine were mutagenic in the presence of S9 mix. Benzene, o-toluidine and thioacetamide were weakly mutagenic. Negative results were obtained for diethylstilbestrol, safrole, acetamide, urethane and ethionine at the concentrations used. Caprolactam did not show any mutagenic effect on C658-K42 at concentrations up to 20 mg/ml. Sodium azide, which is unlikely to be carcinogenic but is strongly mutagenic in the Ames test, showed a very weak mutagenic effect on C658-K42.
