cinnamyl anthranilate/carcinogenesis

Cinnamaldehyde is used in foods, beverages, medical products, perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, detergents, creams, and lotions. Cinnamaldehyde has been used as a filtering agent and a rubber reinforcing agent and is used as a brightener in electroplating processes, as an animal repellent, as an insect

In a collaborative study organized under the JEMS MMS, nine mouse lymphoma assay (MLA) "unique positive' NTP rodent carcinogens were re-evaluated by an in vitro chromosomal aberration assay using Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells (CHL/IU). Six of nine chemicals induced chromosomal aberrations;

BALB/c-3T3 cells were employed to examine the genotoxic potential of a variety of known chemical carcinogens. BALB/c-3T3 cells displayed a dose-dependent transformation response to a variety of carcinogens (polycyclic hydrocarbons, methylating agents, ethylating agents, aflatoxin B1 [AFB1], and

We studied nine presumed nongenotoxic rodent carcinogens, as defined by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP), to determine their ability to induce acute or subacute biochemical and tissue changes that may act as useful predictors of nongenotoxic rodent carcinogenesis. The chemicals selected

The carcinogens N-2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) and diethylnitrosamine (DEN) often give negative results when tested in the Fischer rat embryo cell survival assay with the standard single 72-hour regimen, whereas another carcinogen, benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P], may yield varied results between different

Twelve chemicals from diverse structural classes were tested under code for their capacity to enhance the transformation of Syrian hamster embryo cells by simian adenovirus SA7 in two independent laboratories. Pretreatment of hamster cells with eight of those chemicals (reserpine, dichlorvos,

The in vivo-in vitro hepatocyte DNA repair assay has been shown to be useful for studying genotoxic hepatocarcinogens. In addition, measurement of S-phase synthesis (SPS) provides an indirect indicator of hepatocellular proliferation, which may be an important mechanism in rodent carcinogenesis.

An in vitro flow cytometric (FCM) DNA repair assay has been developed and validated by comparison to conventional autoradiography (ARG). Both assays measure unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS). Cultures of hepatocytes from young male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to a battery of 26 chemicals plus

Three independent laboratories tested eight "model" and five coded chemicals in the Syrian hamster embryo clonal transformation assay system to establish the intra- and interlaboratory reproducibility of the system and to identify sources of variability. When a common cell pool and the same lot of
