Chemical agents that possess the ability to alter tumorigenicity of carcinogens (administered at subthreshold dose) constitute a major health hazard. We have employed the Ames Salmonella assay to examine the effect of co-carcinogenic benzo[e]pyrene (B[e]P) on microsome-mediated chemical mutagenesis. B[e]P enhanced the mutagenic activity induced by 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) in strains TA1538 and TA98. Enhancement was also noted with N-hydroxy-2-AAF (the proximal metabolite of 2-AAF) but not with an ultimate carcinogenic form (N-acetoxy-2-AAF). These results suggest the use of this approach to detect chemical agents that possess the ability to alter the activity of mutagenic or carcinogenic chemicals.
