Toxicity, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity of 2-methylfuran in a 90-day comprehensive toxicity study in gpt delta rats.

Food and chemical toxicology : an international journal published for the British Industrial Biological Research Association
2-Methylfuran (2-MF) exists naturally in foods and is used as a flavoring agent. Furan, the core structure of 2-MF, possesses hepatocarcinogenicity in rodents. Accumulation of toxicological information on furan derivatives is needed to elucidate thei...

Prioritization of Mycotoxins Based on Their Genotoxic Potential with an In Silico-In Vitro Strategy.

Toxins
Humans are widely exposed to a great variety of mycotoxins and their mixtures. Therefore, it is important to design strategies that allow prioritizing mycotoxins based on their toxic potential in a time and cost-effective manner. A strategy combining...

Mining Toxicity Information from Large Amounts of Toxicity Data.

Journal of medicinal chemistry
Safety is a main reason for drug failures, and therefore, the detection of compound toxicity and potential adverse effects in the early stage of drug development is highly desirable. However, accurate prediction of many toxicity endpoints is extremel...

The 3D reconstructed skin micronucleus assay using imaging flow cytometry and deep learning: A proof-of-principle investigation.

Mutation research. Genetic toxicology and environmental mutagenesis
The reconstructed skin micronucleus (RSMN) assay was developed in 2006, as an in vitro alternative for genotoxicity evaluation of dermally applied chemicals or products. In the years since, significant progress has been made in the optimization of th...

In vitro and in silico genetic toxicity screening of flavor compounds and other ingredients in tobacco products with emphasis on ENDS.

Journal of applied toxicology : JAT
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are regulated tobacco products and often contain flavor compounds. Given the concern of increased use and the appeal of ENDS by young people, evaluating the potential of flavors to induce DNA damage is impo...

Genotoxicity evaluation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles using the mouse lymphoma assay and the Ames test.

Mutation research. Genetic toxicology and environmental mutagenesis
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO-NPs) are widely used in the cosmetics, health, and food industries, but their safety and genotoxicity remain a matter of debate. We investigated whether TiO-NPs could induce gene mutations in mouse lymphoma L5178Y ...

Preservative effect of Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze seed extract in soy sauce and its mutagenicity.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of green tea seed (GTS) extract as a natural preservative in food. Food preservative ability and mutagenicity studies of GTS extract and identification of antimicrobial compounds from GTS...

A knowledge-based expert rule system for predicting mutagenicity (Ames test) of aromatic amines and azo compounds.

Toxicology
Cancer is one of the main causes of death in Western countries, and a major issue for human health. Prolonged exposure to a number of chemicals was observed to be one of the primary causes of cancer in occupationally exposed persons. Thus, the develo...

Investigation of the mutagenic and genotoxic activities of LLL-3, a STAT3 inhibitor.

Drug and chemical toxicology
LLL-3, an anthracene derived compound, has been shown to be a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of some kinds of cancer such as chronic myeloid leukemia and glioblastoma. However, no data regarding the toxic properties of this compound ha...
