Resumo
In the present study we investigated, in vitro and in vivo,
the cytotoxic and mutagenic potential of the Synadenium
umbellatum ethanolic extract (SUEE) on the bone marrow cells of mice. In vitro cytotoxicity was assayed incubating
bone marrow cells with different concentrations (40-0.312
mg/mL) of SUEE for 12, 24 or 48 h using the MTT
tetrazolium reduction test and the trypan blue exclusion
test. The micronuclei assay was performed to determine
mutagenic effects of mice orally exposed to different do-
ses of SUEE (10, 25 or 50 mg/kg/day) in 24 h. Our results
demonstrated that SUEE has, in a dose-dependent
manner, potential cytotoxic and mutagenic effects on the
bone marrow cells of mice. Further studies are needed to
expand the knowledge of the toxicological/
pharmacological potential of the SUEE.
