The genotoxicity of several anthraquinone compounds metabolically related to aflatoxin B1 [a contaminant of human food stuffs and animal feeds] was examined by means of the hepatocyte primary culture (HPC)/DNA repair test and the Salmonella microsome mutagenesis test [using human fibroblasts], and compared to versicolorins A and B which are potent mutagenic and genotoxic intermediates of the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway. 6,8-O-Dimethyl-versicolorins A, B and 6-deoxyversicolorin A were found to be strongly mutagenic and genotoxic. Genotoxicity of versicolorin A and 6,8-O-dimethylversicolorin A was stronger than that of versicolorin B and 6,8-O-dimethylversicolorin B, respectively, in the HPC/DNA repair test. Nidurufin and norsolorinic acid, which do not possess a bisfuran ring, exhibited questionable activities for mutagenicity and no genotoxicity. It is suspected that 6,8-O-dimethylversicolorins A, B and 6-deoxyversicolorin A as well as versicolorins A and B are genotoxic carcinogens.
