Abstract
Thiabendazole (TBZ), a post-harvest fungicide commonly used on imported citrus fruits, exhibited photo-mutagenicity following UVA-irradiation (320-400 nm) in Trp+ reverse mutation assay using Escherichia coli WP2uvrA/pKM101 strain. The photo-mutagenicity was not observed in the presence of S9 mix, a rat liver homogenate microsome fraction with co-factors for metabolic activation. We found that NADH and NADPH used as co-factor in the S9 mix efficiently suppressed the photo-mutagenicity of TBZ. This evidence strongly suggested that non-mutagenicity in the presence of S9 mix was not due to the metabolic detoxification of TBZ or the scavenging of UVA-activated TBZ by macromolecules in the S9 mix. Rather quenching effect of NADH and NADPH (λmax=338 nm) may be more responsible for suppression of UVA-activation of TBZ, because oxidized forms of NAD+ and NADP+ did not show inhibitory effects. Mutagenicity of the UVA-irradiated photo-mutagens such as angelicin and chlorpromazine was also suppressed by the addition of NADH or NADPH. Our present results suggest the possible underestimation in risk evaluation for photomutagenic compounds when they are assayed in the presence of S9 mix.Keywords
