Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Sodium iodate
EC Number:
231-672-5
EC Name:
Sodium iodate
Cas Number:
7681-55-2
IUPAC Name:
sodium iodate
Details on test material:
The antimutagenic potential of 0.1 and 0.5 Fmol Sodium Iodate against 1.28 micro mol aflatoxin B, (AFB,) was examined by plate incorporation assay performed according to the method of Maron and Ames (1983) using Salmonella typhimurium strains TAl00 and TA98

Method

Target gene:
Salmonella typhimurium strains TAl00 and TA98
Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:

Additional information on results:
Sodium Iodate had antimutagenic activity toward AFB, when tested using strain TA100, but not when using strain TA98. The
ID50 (dose required to inhibit the mutagenic activity of AFB, by 50%) of Sodium Iodate using strain TAlOO was 150 nmol.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Sodium Iodate had antimutagenic activity toward AFB, when tested using strain TA100, but not when using strain TA98. The
ID50 (dose required to inhibit the mutagenic activity of AFB, by 50%) of Sodium Iodate using strain TAlOO was 150 nmol.
Executive summary:

Sodium Iodate showed no mutagenic activity by the Ames test. The ID50 (dose required to inhibit the mutagenic activity of AFB, by 50%) of Sodium Iodate using strain TAlOO was 150 nmol. Thus it exhibited anti-mutagenic activity
