Cycasin: detection of associated mutagenic activity in vivo.

Cycasin and its lagycone, methylazoxymethanol, increase the mutant frequency of Salmonella typhimurium histidine auxotrophs when tested in the hostmediated assay. As expected, the degree of cycasin-related mutagenic activity depends on the facility with which the compound can be enzymatically deglucosylated by the normal intestinal flora.

Genetic damage caused by methylazoxymethanol acetate, the aglycone of cycasin. Analysis of sister-chromatid exchange frequency under in vivo conditions and in cell cultures.

To extend the information on the mutagenic effect of methylazoxymethanol (MAM) acetate, which has been established as a potent carcinogen, the frequency of sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) was determined in bone marrow cells of Sprague Dawley rats and in cultured rat lymphocytes. To get differentially stained chromatids under in vivo conditions, the rats received 5-bromodeoxyuridine adsorbed on activated charcoal intraperitoneally. Chromosomes were stained with fluorescence plus Giemsa. In this study a significant increase of SCE frequency after the application of various concentrations of MAM acetate could be observed both in vivo and in vivo.
