Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate genotoxicity of fucoidan-rich Undaria pinnatifida sporophyll (FUPS) using a three-component test battery. Our sulfate analysis method showed that FUPS extract contained 14% fucoidan sulfate. The reverse mutation assay showed that the FUPS extract did not increase the number of revertant colonies in any of the five bacterial strains tested, regardless of metabolic activation by S9 mix. Furthermore, FUPS did not induce chromosomal aberrations in the 6-h short-term test with or without S9, as well as in the 24-h continuous test without S9. Finally, bone marrow micronucleus examination of ICR mice at oral doses up to 5000 mg/kg/day did not show a significantly dose-dependent increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCEs) or the ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs) to total erythrocytes. In conclusion, it was determined that the FUPS extract does not have a significant genotoxic potential under the expected conditions of use.

期刊介绍:
Toxicological Research is the official journal of the Korean Society of Toxicology. The journal covers all areas of Toxicological Research of chemicals, drugs and environmental agents affecting human and animals, which in turn impact public health. The journal’s mission is to disseminate scientific and technical information on diverse areas of toxicological research. Contributions by toxicologists, molecular biologists, geneticists, biochemists, pharmacologists, clinical researchers and epidemiologists with a global view on public health through toxicological research are welcome. Emphasis will be given to articles providing an understanding of the toxicological mechanisms affecting animal, human and public health. In the case of research articles using natural extracts, detailed information with respect to the origin, extraction method, chemical profiles, and characterization of standard compounds to ensure the reproducible pharmacological activity should be provided.
