Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To study the genetic toxicity of NiKeAn. METHODS:the mutagenicity of NiKeAn was examined using Ames test, micronucleus test and CHL cell chromosome aberration test. RESULTS: No increase in the number of revertant colonies was found in the Ames test with and without S9 mixture. The micronucleus rates and chromosome aberration rates at all doses were not significantly different from the control group(P>0.05). CONCLUSION:Mutagenicity of NiKeAn was not observed in this study.

Key words: Ames test, micronucleus test, chromosome aberration test, NiKeAn
