Abstract:
:To examine the concordance of two metabolizing systems for use in genotoxocity testing with the micronucleus test, 15 naturally occurring substances (arecoline, the plant extract aristolochic acid, beta-asarone, benzyl acetate, coumarin, emodine, isatidine dihydrate, monocrotaline, psoralen, reserpine, retrorsine, safrole, sanguinarine chloride, tannin and thiourea) were tested for their genotoxicity in the cytokinesis-block micronucleus test in vitro with human lymphocytes and in the presence and the absence of an exogenous metabolizing system from rat liver S9-mix and the metabolically competent human hepatoma cell line Hep-G2. Arecoline, the plant extract aristolochic acid, psoralen and tannin caused a significant increase in the number of micronuclei in human lymphocytes in the presence and the absence of an exogenous metabolising system from rat liver S9-mix and the metabolically competent human hepatoma cell line Hep-G2. A significant increase in the number of micronuclei with beta-asarone, coumarin, monocrotaline and retrorsine could be detected in the presence of S9-mix and the cell line Hep-G2. Benzyl acetate, emodine, isatidine dihydrate, reserpine, safrole, sanguinarine chloride and thiourea did not reveal any micronucleus inducing activity in either human lymphocytes or in Hep-G2. In addition to the other Hep-G2 results in the literature, this human hepatoma cell line could have a useful potential in the in vitro micronucleus test.
