국내외에서 수집 재배한 29품종 유색미의 70% 에탄올 추출물로 세포독성, 변이원성, 화학적 직접변이원 mitomycin C, 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide, 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone에 대한 항변이원성을 측정하였다. 세포 내재성 alkaline phosphatase활성을 지표로 유색미 추출물이 지시세포인 E. coli PQ 37의 성장에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 Jumlalocal, Jumlalocal-1을 포함하는 13종류의 유색미 추출물이 세포독성을 나타낸 반면 DK 1, SC-5, LK 1A-2-12-1-1및 wx 139-3-64-20-3-1등의 품종은 세포성장 촉진활성을 나타내었다. SOS chromotest 기법을 이용하여 유색미가 가지는 변이원성 및 항변이원성을 조사한 결과에서는 Jumlalocal-1, IR 17491-5-4-3-3 및 Jumlalocal 등의 품종이 변이원성을 유도하는 품종이었다. 화학적 직접변이원 mitomycin C, 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone 및 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide 에 대해서 공통적으로 항변이원성 효과가 인정되는 유색미 품종은 LK1-3-6-12-1-1, Parnkhari 203, Jumlalocal, wx 139-3-64-20-3-1, Muthumanikam, HP 883-1-1-1-B-1-1, Jumla-local-1 등 7품종이었다.
The cytotoxic, mutagenic and antimutagenic activities against chemical direct mutagens such as mitomycin C, 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide, 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone of the 70% ethanol extracts of 29 colored rice varieties and chuchung as a control were examined. The results obtained using authentic alkaline phosphatase activity as a growth representative of the indicator cell E. coli PQ 37 demonstrated that the extracts of 13 kinds of colored rice varieties including Jumlalocal and Jumlalocal-1 showed strong toxic effect on the cell growth. However the extracts of DK 1, SC-5, LK 1A-2-12-1-1 and wx 139-3-64-20-3-1 seemed to have stimulatory effects on the cell growth. The mutagenicity and antimutagenicity of the colored rice varieties were screened using SOS chromotest. The mutagenic activity was detected from Jumalocal-1, IR 17491-5-4-3-3 and Jumlalocal. On the contrary, 7 samples including LK 1-3-6-12-1-1, Parnkhari 203, Jumlalocal, wx 139-3-64-20-3-1, Muthumanikam, HP 883-1-1-1-B-1-1 and Jumlalocal-1 were shown to have antimutagenic acitivities against the chemical direct mutagens used in this study.
