Abstract
Heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) are primarily produced during the heating of meat or fish. HAAs are mutagenic and carcinogenic, and their toxicity in model systems depend on metabolic activation. This activation is mediated by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, in particular CYP1A2. Some studies have indicated a role of human sulfotransferase (SULT) 1A1 and N-acetyltransferase (NAT) 2 in the terminal activation of HAAs. In this study, we conducted a metabolism/genotoxicity relationship analysis for 16 HAAs and related heterocyclics. We used the γH2AX genotoxicity assay in V79 cells (deficient in CYP, SULT and NAT) and V79-derived cell lines genetically engineered to express human CYP1A2 alone or in combination with human SULT1A1 or NAT2. Our data demonstrated genotoxic properties for 13 out of the 16 compounds tested. A clear relationship between metabolic bioactivation and genotoxicity allowed to distinguish four groups: (1) Trp-P-1 genotoxicity was linked to CYP1A2 bioactivation only-with negligible effects of phase II enzymes; (2) Glu-P-2, Glu-P-1, Trp-P-2, APNH, MeAαC and AαC were bioactivated by CYP1A2 in combination with either phase II enzyme tested (NAT2 or SULT1A1); (3) IQ, 4-MeIQ, IQx, 8-MeIQx, and 4,8-DiMeIQx required CYP1A2 in combination with NAT2 to be genotoxic, whereas SULT1A1 did not enhance their genotoxicity; (4) PhIP became genotoxic after CYP1A2 and SULT1A1 bioactivation-NAT2 had not effect. Our results corroborate some previous data regarding the genotoxic potency of seven HAAs and established the genotoxicity mechanism for five others HAAs. This study also permits to compare efficiently the genotoxic potential of these 13 HAAs.

Abstract
The mutagenic and co-mutagenic properties of harman, norharman and of some of their pharmacologically important derivatives are reviewed. These compounds do not behave as true mutagens, but rather interact, directly or indirectly with DNA, leading to various consequences. This unusual behaviour is most probably related to the particular structure of the chemical nucleus common to all beta-carbolines which confers to the different derivatives the property to interact with various macromolecules and enzymatic systems. These interactions are compiled and discussed in this review. The alterations, by beta-carbolines, of some important enzymatic systems, e.g. cytochrome P-450, have been clearly demonstrated, yet many discrepancies and contradictions exist so that an interpretation of the results and the definition of some common mechanism appears premature. Since beta-carbolines are widely distributed in tissues and since they may modify and increase genotoxic and toxic consequences of other compounds, these interactions need to be clarified.

Abstract
2-Acetylaminofluorene and 2-aminofluorene are among the most intensively studied of all chemical mutagens and carcinogens. Fundamental research findings concerning the metabolism of 2-acetylaminofluorene to electrophilic derivatives, the interaction of these derivatives with DNA, and the carcinogenic and mutagenic responses that are associated with the resulting DNA damage have formed the foundation upon which much of genetic toxicity testing is based. The parent compounds and their proximate and ultimate mutagenic and carcinogenic derivatives have been evaluated in a variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic assays for mutagenesis and DNA damage. The reactive derivatives are active in virtually all systems, while 2-acetylaminofluorene and 2-aminofluorene are active in most systems that provide adequate metabolic activation. Knowledge of the structures of the DNA adducts formed by 2-acetylaminofluorene and 2-aminofluorene, the effects of the adducts on DNA conformation and synthesis, adduct distribution in tissues, cells and DNA, and adduct repair have been used to develop hypotheses to understand the genotoxic and carcinogenic effects of these compounds. Molecular analysis of mutations produced in cell-free, bacterial, in vitro mammalian, and intact animal systems have recently been used to extend these hypotheses.

Abstract
The potent bacterial mutagen 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2[5H]- furanone) (MX), which is formed during chlorination of drinking water and accounts for about one third of the Ames mutagenicity of tap water, has been studied with respect to its genotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Treatment with 30-300 microM MX (1 h) induced DNA damage in a concentration-dependent manner in suspensions of rat hepatocytes, as measured by an automated alkaline elution system. The effect was similar in hepatocytes from PCB-induced and uninduced rats. DNA damage was induced in V79 Chinese hamster cells and in isolated rat testicular cells, at the same concentration level as in hepatocytes. Pretreating testicular cells with diethylmaleate, which depletes 85% of cellular glutathione, had no significant effect on the DNA damage induced by MX. The treatment conditions used in the alkaline elution experiments were not cytotoxic to any of the cell types used, as determined by trypan blue exclusion. V79 cells exposed to 2-5 microM MX (2 h) showed an increased frequency of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) whereas no significant effect on HGPRT mutation induction was observed. Higher concentrations (greater than 10 microM, 2 h) apparently blocked cell division. The data indicate that MX can react directly with DNA or that MX is metabolized to an ultimate mutagen via some enzyme which is common in mammalian cells. The in vivo experiments showed no evidence of genotoxicity after intraperitoneal (18 mg/kg, 1 h) or oral (18, 63 or 125 mg/kg, 1 h) administration of MX, as measured by alkaline elution, in any of the following organs: the pyloric part of the stomach, the duodenum, colon ascendens, liver, kidney, lung, bone marrow, urinary bladder and the testes. In conclusion, MX is a direct-acting genotoxicant in vitro but no in vivo genotoxicity was detected.

Abstract
1. The metabolism of harman by liver microsomes from non-induced, phenobarbitone (PB)-induced and 3-methylcholanthrene (MC)-induced mice was investigated. Initial reaction rates for harman disappearance were measured and showed a 4-fold induction by PB and a 10.6-fold induction by MC. 2. The major metabolite formed with each microsomal preparation was identified as 6-hydroxyharman. 3. Microsomal cytochrome P-450 binding was measured for harman and other beta-carbolines and both Type I and Type II binding spectra were observed, being dependent upon the mode of induction.

Abstract
Norharman and harman, beta-carboline derivatives with comutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium, were examined for their activity to induce SOS responses in S. typhimurium using the umu-test and mutations in Escherichia coli. The inducibility of the umuC gene by norharman and harman was assayed by measuring the levels of beta-galactosidase activity in tester cells harbouring the umuC'-'lacZ fusion gene on a plasmid. In the umu-test, both norharman and harman weakly induced umuC gene expression at 25-100 and 50-150 micrograms/ml, respectively. In the mutation test using reversion from trpE9777 to Trp+, harman was relatively more potent than norharman in inducing the mutations. These results indicate that norharman and harman induce SOS responses as well as reversion of trpE9777 frameshift mutation in bacteria.

Abstract
A new technique for the conversion of 2-acetylaminofluorene and several ring-hydroxylated metabolites to mono- and di-tert.-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives was developed to permit their analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in order to quantify the metabolism of 2-acetylaminofluorene incubated in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. This new gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method allowed the separation, identification and quantitation of seven known metabolites comprising five arylhydroxylated compounds, 2-aminofluorene and N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene.
