In vitro mammalian chromosome aberration assay was further used to evaluate the genotoxicity of Pivaloylacylation-7ADCA on chromosome level. Cells were exposed to a range of dosages of pivaloylacylation-7ADCA (1250, 2500 and 5000 μg/ml). Cells treated with DMSO alone were employed as the solvent control. In the absence of S9 mixture, cells treated by 0.1 μg/ml of mitomycin C (MMC) were used as positive control; while in the presence of S9, cells treated by 20 μg/ml of cyclophosphamide (CP) was employed as the positive control.
denotes a significant difference in the frequency of aberrant chromosomes (%) compared to the DMSO control group.
Statistical significance was set as P<0.05.
