title: [Assessment of the mutagenic activity of aversectin C].
abstract: Aversectin C was evaluated for mutagenic activity in the Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium TA 97, TA 98 and TA 100, in the dominant lethal assay on uninbred albino rats in a dose of 2.25 mg/kg body weight (1/40 of the LD50) and in the metaphase test on F1CBAxC57BI/6 mice in a dose of 8.2 mg/kg body weight (1/5 of the LD50). The agent showed no mutagenic activity in any of the tests. The anaphase test on F1CBAxC57BI/6 mice revealed no antimitotic activity of aversectin C.
