2‐Acetylaminofluorene (AAF), a highly effective mutagen and carcinogen, was tested as a direct‐acting teratogen in an embryo culture system. Concentrations of up to 75 μg/ml (336 μM) of AAF produced no detectable malformations and only minimal decreases in viability and growth of rat embryos explanted on day 10 (11th day of gestation; the day after fertilization was designated as day 0). Inclusion of a microsomal monooxygenase system (prepared from rat liver) in the culture medium, however, resulted in marked changes in viability and growth. All explanted embryos exposed to concentrations of AAF above 60 μg/ml (269 μM) plus the microsomal monooxygenase system exhibited readily observable malformations as well as significant decreases in size and macromolecular content. Two metabolites, N‐hydroxy‐2‐acetylaminofluorene (N‐OH‐AAF) and N‐acetoxy‐2‐acetylaminofluorene (AAAF), each produced malformations in the absence of a monooxygenase system. At concentrations of 25 μg/ml (105 and 88 μM) approximately 50% of the embryos exposed to these metabolites were malformed. The predominant malformations associated with the metabolites were ventrolateral protrusions and hypoplasia of the prosencephalic region, whereas AAF plus the monooxygenase system produced an interruption of neural tube closure. This suggested the possibility that other metabolites may participate in the AAF‐induced malformation syndrome. The addition of the monooxygenase system to cultures containing N‐OH‐AAF or AAAF increased the frequency of malformations without increasing lethality or decreasing growth.
