국내 화장품 업계에서 실제 사용되고 있는 합성타르색소인 적색 204호 , 적색215호, 등색 203호의 3가지 색소에 대하여 유전독성시험을 행하였다.Chinese hamster lung(CHL) 세포에서의 염색체이상시험과 ddY 마우스를 이용한 소핵시험 및 초파리 날개를 이용한 체세포돌연변이 재조합 시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 염색체이상시험과 소핵시험에서는 적색 204, 적색 215, 등색 203호 에서는 유전독성을 나타내는 변이원인으로는 작용하지 않는 것으로 나타났고 초파리 날개를 이용한 체세포돌연변이 시험에서는 각각 100mg/ml에서 single small spot의 출현빈도가 p<0.05의 유의수준에서 대조군에 비해 증가양상을 보였고, twin spot의 빈도 수는 적색 204호의 경우는 50mg/ml 농도에서, 적색 215호의 경우는 100mg/ml 농도에서 p<0.05의 유의수준에서 증가양상을 보여 약한 돌연 변이 원성을 나타내었다.

Using germinal and somatic cell mutation assaying systems of Drosophila melanogaster, effects of Ginseng and Salvia miltiorrhiza extracts on the in vivo mutagenicity induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG) were investigated. For these purpose, the attached-X method and the mwh/flr spot test system which are an X-linked lethal mutation and a somatic chromosome mutation assaying system, respectively, were used. In the induction of X-linked lethal mutations during the spermatogenesis, MNNG showed more actions in the sperm and spermatid stages, in which Ginseng and Salvia miltiorrhiza extracts had remarkable inhibitory effects than other stages. Ginseng and Salvia miltiorrhiza extracts reduced the mutagenicity by MNNG in the mwh/flr system, which reveal that they can inhibit gene mutation, deletion and mitotic chromosomal recombination. These results seem to suggest that Ginseng and Salvia miltiorrhiza extracts may exert their inhibitory effects to in vivo mutagenic and/or carcinogenic properties of DNA-damaging agents.

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.
