Abstract
Dialysed C-serum precipitate (DCP), a sub-fraction of latex C-serum originating from Hevea brasiliensis, has shown specific in vitro antiproliferative properties towards cancer-origin cell lines. As a potential agent to be used in cancer treatment, preclinical safety assessment tests are crucial. This study focused on investigating the mutagenicity of DCP via bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test), Mouse lymphoma assay (MLA), and micronucleus assay according to OECD guidelines. No mutagenicity was exhibited by DCP at concentrations lower than 1 mg/mL for the five different auxotroph strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, and TA 1537) and Escherichia coli WP2uvrA pKM101 in the absence and presence of metabolic activation system (S9-mix). Nonetheless, it has been found that DCP was able to induce negligible mutation in MLA and micronucleus assay. Overall, DCP does express dose-dependant mutagenicity according to the assays conducted and thus, it is crucial to take this into consideration should DCP be used in the development of therapeutic agent.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Rubber Research is devoted to both natural and synthetic rubbers, as well as to related disciplines. The scope of the journal encompasses all aspects of rubber from the core disciplines of biology, physics and chemistry, as well as economics. As a specialised field, rubber science includes within its niche a vast potential of innovative and value-added research areas yet to be explored. This peer reviewed publication focuses on the results of active experimental research and authoritative reviews on all aspects of rubber science.
The Journal of Rubber Research welcomes research on:
the upstream, including crop management, crop improvement and protection, and biotechnology;
the midstream, including processing and effluent management;
the downstream, including rubber engineering and product design, advanced rubber technology, latex science and technology, and chemistry and materials exploratory;
economics, including the economics of rubber production, consumption, and market analysis.
The Journal of Rubber Research serves to build a collective knowledge base while communicating information and validating the quality of research within the discipline, and bringing together work from experts in rubber science and related disciplines.
Scientists in both academia and industry involved in researching and working with all aspects of rubber will find this journal to be both source of information and a gateway for their own publications.
