Preliminary evaluation of mutagenic activity of two amino derivatives of cyclopenta[c]phenanthrene

The mutagenicity of two, newly synthesized amino-derivatives of cyclopenta[c]phenanthrene (CP[c]Ph) was investigated in the Ames test using TA98 and TA100 histidine dependent Salmonella typhimurium strains. Neither of the examined compounds showed mutagenic activity without metabolic activation. The incorporation of an activation system caused high mutagenicity of CP[c]Ph derivatives in both S. typhimurium strains. The results are compared with the previous data on the mutagenic activity of unsubstituted CP[c]Ph and possible mechanisms of activation are discussed.

Influence of photodegradation on mutagenic activity of aquatic solution of chlorophenols

The paper presents the effect of UV radiation of 254 nmwavelength on the mutagenic activity of aquatic solutions of 3-chlorophenol (3-CP), 2,4-dichlorophenol (PCP), 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) and pentachlorophenol (PCP). Mutagenicity studies were carried out on two Salmonella strains: TA98 and TA100, with and without metabolic activation by S9 mix. Stable intermediate products of photodegradation have been identified using the GC/MS method. Chlorophenols in doses below 0.1µg were strongly mutagenic towards both strains: TA98 and TA100. The mutagenic properties of aquatic solutions of chlorophenols for both strains decreased as follows: PCP>=2,4-DCP>2,4,6-TCP>3-CP. Aquatic solutions of three chlorophenols after their photodegradation were non-mutagenic for both bacterial strains, except for 2,4-dichlorophenol. In the case of this compound, the products of its decomposition were more mutagenic for the TA100 strain. No significant metabolic activation by S9 mix was observed which suggests a direct mutagenic impact of chlorophenols on the tested Salmonella strains.
