건조 생약재인 황기, 감초 및 진피의 감마선 조사 위생화의 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 감마선 조사 후 Samonella typhimurium TA98과 TA100 균주를 이용한 유전 독성학적인 안전성을 평가하고자 하였다. 시험 대상은 오염유기체 완전 구제 선량인 10kGy의 감마선으로 조사된 시료의 열수 추출물을 대상으로 하였으며 시험농도는 대상물질이 생약재임을 고려하여 50%의 균주생장억제를 나타내는 농도를 최고 농도로 하였다. 시험은 대사 활성화시키지 않는 경우와 대사 활성화시킨 경우에서 복귀돌연변이 집락을 계수하였다. 그 결과 각 시료에 의한 집락수의 증가를 인정할 수 없었으며, 각 용량단계에서 감마선 비조사군과 조사군 간의 차이도 볼 수 없으므로 음성으로 판정하였다. 따라서 감마선 조사된 각 시료가 직접변이원이나 간접변이원으로 작용하지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 결과로 보아 생체내 유전독성, 만성독성 및 생식독성 시험 등이 추가된다면 감마선조사 생약재의 안전성을 명확히 밝힐 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives: To evaluate the mutagenicity of lithium carbonate, a bacterial reverse mutation(Ames) test was carried out using four strains of S. typhimurium(TA1535; TA1537; TA98; and TA100) and one strain of E. coli(WP2uvrA). Materials: This was carried out in a dose range from 312.5 to $5,000{\mu}g/plate$ in triplicate with and without S9 activation, which is the most commonly used metabolic activation system supplemented by a post-mitochondrial fraction prepared from the livers of rodents treated with enzyme-inducing agents such as Aroclor 1254 or a combination of phenobarbitone and ${\beta}$-naphthoflavone. Results: No significant increases in the number of revertants were observed under the conditions examined in this study. Conclusions: Based on the above observations, it can be concluded that lithium carbonate has no mutagenic activity. Despite the results, it can have an effect by inducing acute oral toxicity, eye irritation and acute aquatic toxicity. Based on this study, we suggest that future studies should be directed toward chronic, carcinogenic testing and other related areas.

This study was aimed to find out the comparative effects between non-irradiated, and 5kGy-10kGy of gamma-irradiated Panax Ginseng Radix powder on the genotoxicity for identification of possibility of DNA damage causing cancer. Four different short-term mutagenicity tests were used: (1) Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay (Ames test) (2) Chromosome aberration test in cultured Chinese hamster lung (CHL) fibroblast cells. (3) Micronucleus test in ddY mouse (4) Somatic mutation and recombination test in the wing cells of Drosophila melanogaster.Gamma-irradiated Panax Ginseng Radix powder revealed negative results in these four mutagenicity tests. This means gamma-irradiated ginseng could be safe on the genotoxic point of view.

2- [(4- Cyanophenyl)amino] -3-chloro-1, 4- naphthalenedione (NQ-Y15) was asssayed for its genotoxic potential by using Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay and in vitro chromosome aberration test on Chinese hamster lung cells. In the Ames test, NQ-Y15 induced his + revertants of Salmonella typhimurium TA 98 and TA1537, reaching levels twice the negative control values. But, NQ-Y15 induced only his+ revertants of Salmonella typhimurium TA1537 more than twice the control values under the condition with metabolic activation system. In the cytogenetic test on chinese hamster lung cells. NQ -Y15 showed significant chromosomal aberrations, but the incidence was significantly reduced in the presence of metabolic activation.

Antaeum(ATE) has been used as a prescription for threatened abortion, associated with pregnancy in traditional medicine. Because gravida could be administered ATE for a long period, its administration might cause a harmful effect on fetus and gravida during the pregnancy. This study aimed to determine whether exposure to ATE caused mutagenicity or hepatotoxicity during the pregnant period. For mutagenicity test of ATE, Salmonella typhimurium and Bacillus subtilis were used as indications for DNA damage. In the Ames test, Samonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 were used for mutagenicity testing, and the number of histidine revertants was measured. In Rec-assay, Bacillus subtilis H $17(Rec^+)$ and $M-45(Rec^-)$ strains were used to clarify the DNA damage property. In the SOS umu test, Salmonella typhimurium TA15335 containing plasmid pSK1002 was used as a tester strain, and we monitored the levels of umu operon expression by measuring the ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activity. From the tested results, ATE did not show DNA damage and mutagenicity. On the other hand, hepatotoxicity of ATE to female ICR mice was monitored by the measurements of s-GOT, s-GPT and LDH activities after oral feeding for 15 days. ATE did not show significant change of s-GOT, s-GPT and LDH activities in mice sera.

돼지고기와 챔을 이용한 찌개에서 생성되는 돌연변 이원성과 김치 , 표고버섯, 파, 마늘이 부재료로 첨가되었을 때의 억제효과를 검토하고 국산햄과 외국산챌의 차이를 알아보고자 변이원으로 4-NQO, Trp-p-1을 사용하여 염기치환형 변이균주인 Salmonella typhimurium TA100을 이용한 Ames test를 실시하였다. 1. 0.025-0.02 g/Plate 농도에서, 김치는 가열했을때 변이원성이 나타나지 않았고 4-NQO, Trp-p-1의 변미원성을 효과적으로 억제하였다. 햄과 돼지고기는 가열시 변이원이 자체적으로 생성되었고 돼지고기 0.02 g/plate 농도에서 가장 큰 값을 나타내어 육가공품에 첨가된 아질산염에 대한 안전성을 확보할 수 있었다. 2.가열된 돼지고기와 햄의 변이원성에 대하여 대체로 김치 첨가시 억제효과가 가장 컸고, 표고버섯 한가지보다는 표고버섯에 파 ,마늘을 함께 첨가했을때 억제효과가 더 컸다. 3. 외국산햄은 국산햄과 달리 항산화제인 ascorbic acid가 더 많이 첨가되어 있어 0.02g/plate 농도에서 가열에 의해 변이원이 생성되지 않았고 변이원 존재 시 국산햄보다 낮은 변이원성을 나타내었다.

고추가루의 돌연변이유발, 보돌연변이 및 항돌연변이 효과를 검토하기 위해 매운맛의 재래종과 덜 매운맛의 교배종을 극성이 다른 용매로 3분획한 것과 고추의 주요한 매운 성분으로 알려진 capsaicin을 Ames mutagenicity test를 이용하여 연구하였다. 고추가루 추출획분들을 모두 direct한 돌연변이유발성이 없는 것으로 나타났고 MNNG가 존재할 때의 보돌연변이 효과도 나타나지 않았다. 또한 이들은 rat S9이 존재할 때의 indirect한 mutagenicity도 일으키지 않는 결과를 보였다. 고추가루의 주요 매운 성분인 capsaicin도 Aroclor 1254, phenobarbital로 induce시킨 rat S9과 Aroclor 1254로 induce시킨 hamster S9 등의 activation system을 이용하여도 돌연변이유발의 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 고추가루 추출획분들은 TA100 strain에서 모두 aflatoxin $B_1$의 mutagencity를 오히려 억제시키는 결과를 나타내었는데 이 효과는 고추가루의 첫번째 획분(1st fraction)이 가장 컸었다.

These observations were performed to investigate the safety of the natural herbs (Rhus-II) in respect of genotoxicity. This substance was examined in two in-vitro tests: (1) Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay (Ames test) in strain TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537, (2) in vitro chromosome aberration test in cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. In the reverse mutation test, Rhus-II did not induced mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay(Ames test) with or without metabolic activation. In the chromosome aberration assay using CHO cells, there was no increased incidence of structural and numerical aberrations with or without metabolic activation. These results indicated that, the Rhus-II had no genotoxicity.

Objectives: The root barks of Periploca sepium Bge. (P. sepium) has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for healing wounds and treating rheumatoid arthritis. However, toxicity in high-doses was often diagnosed by the presence of many glycosides. The potential mutagenicity of P. sepium was investigated both in vitro and in vivo. Methods: This was examined by the bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test using Escherichia coli WP2uvrA and Salmonella typhimurium strains, such as TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537. Chromosomal aberrations were investigated using Chinese hamster lung cells, and the micronucleus test using mice. Results: P. sepium did not induce mutagenicity in the bacterial test or chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster lung cells, although metabolic activation and micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes were seen in the mice bone marrow cells. Conclusions: Considering these results, it is suggested that P. sepium does not have mutagenic potential under the conditions examined in each study.

We examined the in vitro mutagenic and antimutagenic effects of hexane-extracted hemp (Cannabis sativa L. subsp. sativa var. sativa) seed oil (HO) with and without S9-mediated metabolic activation, using the TA98 and TA100 Salmonella Typhimurium strains. The MTT assay revealed no cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells for HO quantities $\leq400g$/mL. In the mutagenicity test, revertant colonies did not exceed spontaneous colonies in number. Colony numbers did not increase in either strain after HO treatment, with or without metabolic activation. HO showed no mutagenic effects and did not induce a mutation in either strain. In the antimutagenicity test, HO reduced the number of mutated colonies induced by 4NQO in both strains. The inhibition rates of HO (TA98, 21-91%; TA100, 21-85%) indicated a potent reduction in mutagenicity induced by 4NQO. HO showed no significant mutagenicity and may have antimutagenic effects, as assessed by Ames testing.
