Prednisolone farnesylate (PNF) was tested for mutagenicity by Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium (TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537) and Escherichia coli (WP2 uvrA), for clastogenic activity in vitro by the chromosomal aberration test in a Chinese hamster fibroblast cell line (CHL), and for induction of micronuclei by the micronucleus test in male ICR mice. 1) In Ames test, PNF with and without metabolic activation showed no mutagenicity in any strains at any dose levels (312-5,000 micrograms/plate). 2) In the chromosomal aberration test, PNF with metabolic activation produced a slight increase in the incidence of structural chromosomal aberrations in CHL cells at 1,500 micrograms/ml. 3) In the micronucleus test, a single administration of PNF caused no significant increase of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes at any doses (250-2,000 mg/kg).

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
D005204 Farnesol A colorless liquid extracted from oils of plants such as citronella, neroli, cyclamen, and tuberose. It is an intermediate step in the biological synthesis of cholesterol from mevalonic acid in vertebrates. It has a delicate odor and is used in perfumery. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed)
D006224 Cricetinae A subfamily in the family MURIDAE, comprising the hamsters. Four of the more common genera are Cricetus, CRICETULUS; MESOCRICETUS; and PHODOPUS. Cricetus,Hamsters,Hamster
