Abstract

Effects of 3 dyes in combination with nitrite were studied on bone marrow chromosomes of mice following prolonged oral treatment. The dyes were namely, Indigo Carmine and Metanil Yellow, both of which contain a secondary amino group, and Fast Green FCF, which has a tertiary amino group. All dyes produced aberrations but Metanil Yellow showed stronger clastogenic activity than Fast Green FCF and Indigo Carmine. Nitrite alone also induced strong clastogenic activity. A combination of dye and nitrite half the normal concentrations produced synergistic effects, which may be ascribed to the formation of nitrosamines.
