The mutagenic potential of povidone-iodine (PVP-I) and some related compounds were studied using the L5178Y mouse (TK+/-) lymphoma assay. The established mutagens ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) were highly active in this assay, whereas PVP-I, polyvinyl pyrolidone (PVP), potassium iodide (KI), and iodine (I2) were inactive. Furthermore, in the presence of a rat liver microsomal activating fraction (S-9), PVP-I and I2 had only marginal activity as mutagens. Using the Balb/c 3T3 transformation assay we assessed the transformational capacities of these same agents and the positive mutagen N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). All concentrations of the compounds tested were inactive in this assay except for PVP-I (5 mg/ml) and MNNG (5 micrograms/ml). However, the response with PVP-I was only marginal. We concluded from these studies that PVP, PVP-I, KI, and I2 did not possess any biologically significant mutagenic or cell transforming ability.
