ABSTRACT
Phenolphthalein has carcinogenic activity, causing malignant lymphomas in B6C3F1 mice at a dietary dose of 3000 ppm in a 2-year carcinogenicity study and in heterozygous p53-deficient female mice at the same dose in a 6-month study. To examine whether phenolphthalein carcinogenic potential can be detected in male and female transgenic (Tg) mice carrying the human c-Ha-ras gene (rasH2 mice) and their wild-type littermates (non-Tg mice), a diet containing 3000, 6000 or 12000 ppm was given for 6 months. Unequivocal induction of neoplastic lesions was not apparent, suggesting that rasH2 mice are resistant to the induction of malignant lymphomas by the treatment of phenolphthalein.
