Early years of the Salmonella mutagen tester strains: lessons from hycanthone.

Abstract:

:The 1960s witnessed detailed studies on the genetic properties of a large number of histidine-requiring mutants of Salmonella typhimurium. The early 1970s saw development of selected strains, the Ames strains, for use in rapid, cheap, sensitive, and manipulable tests of chemicals and chemical mixtures for genotoxic activities. Our contribution during this latter period was an investigation into the mutagenicity of hycanthone and some of its analogues. Some lessons that this study provided are enumerated. Hycanthone is definitely a liver carcinogen in rodents predisposed by hepatic hyperplasia. Between 1969 and 1975, an estimated total of 100 kg of hycanthone was injected into some 1,000,000 humans with liver hyperplasia caused by infections with parasites. It may now be possible to assess directly the long-term impacts of hycanthone in man.
