Purpose: To evaluate the genotoxicity of CSE1034, a novel antibiotic adjuvant entity, using bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) and in vitro chromosomal aberration test. Methods: Reverse mutation test was carried out using four strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537) and one strain of E. coli [WP2 (uvrA)], while chromosomal aberration test was done with cult...

Hypertension is a serious health problem due to high frequency and concomitant other diseases including cardiovascular and renal dysfunction. Olmesartan cilexetil is a new antihypertensive drug associated with angiotensin II receptor antagonist. This study was conducted to evaluate the mutagenicity of olmesartan cilexetil by bacterial reverse mutation test using Salmonella typhimurium (TA100, T...

BACKGROUND Red ginseng oil (RGO) is produced by supercritical CO2 extraction of secondary products derived from Korean Red Ginseng extract. As the use of RGO has increased, product safety concerns have become more important. METHODS In the present study, the subacute oral toxicity and bacterial reverse mutagenicity of RGO were evaluated. Sprague-Dawley rats were orally administered with RGO f...

A series of studies was performed to evaluate the safety of dihydrocapsiate (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl 8-methylnonanoate; CAS no. 205687-03-2). This study evaluated the potential genotoxicity of this compound using a variety of in vitro and in vivo test systems, including bacterial reverse mutation test, chromosomal aberration test, micronucleus test, gene mutation assay with transgenic rats, a...

The mutagenicity of cefodizime sodium (THR-221) was investigated by the reverse mutation test using seven bacterial strains (Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100, TA98, TA1535, TA1537 and TA1538, and Escherichia coli strains WP2 and WP2uvrA) and the chromosomal aberration test with cultured Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells. The reverse mutation test was carried out in dose range from 0.0025 to ...
