Abstract excerpt
Genotoxicity of emodin was studied in the Salmonella/microsome assay, the sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) assay and the hypoxanthine-guanine-phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) forward mutation assay with V79 Chinese hamster cells. In the Salmonella/microsome assay, emodin was found to be positive in TA97, TA100 and TA1537 in the presence of liver homogenate. In TA1537 a weak direct mutagenicity was also observed....
