The primary effect is neurotoxicity and was detected after occupational expo-
sure.AAisalsotoxicforreproductionanddevelopmentinratsandmiceandwas
found to be a germ cell mutagen. During metabolism, the reactive metabolite
glycidamide is formed that is responsible for the genotoxicity and probably the
carcinogenicitytoseveralorgans.H,oweverepidemiologicalstudiesdidnotpoint

monitoringbymeasuringhemoglobinadductsofAAandglycidamideandnotby
the usual assessment by food frequency questionnaires.
It is worth noting that mammary tissue was also a target organ in rodent

In the early 1990s, B. Ames published a number of papers [36, 37] in which
examplesofplant-derivedcarcinogenswerelistedtowhichhumansareexposed
via the diet; they comprise constituents of mushrooms such as gyromitrin [38]
and agaritin [39], alkylbenzenes (e.g., safrol, eugenol, methyleugenol) that are
found in different spices suchas nutmeg andbasil, caffeicacidthatis found in
numerous vegetables and in coffee [40], and capsaicin the pungent principal of
chilis. Ames emphasized that some of these compounds are equally potent in
regardto-DNdaAmagingandcarcinogenicpropertiesassyntheticchemicalsand
that humans may be exposed to them even at much higher concentrations.
RecentevaluationofthecurrentstateofknowledgebyEhrlich etal. [41]showed
that the evidence for carcinogenic effects of the different plant-derived com-
pounds is restricted in many cases to animal experiments that do not meet the
current criteria of long-term carcinogenicity studies. In many of the trials only
extremely high doses were tested, and it is unclear if the results obtained with
rodentsarerelevantforhumans.orFexample,itwasclaimedthatcoffeecontains
about 20 different chemicals that were shown to cause tumor formation in
rodents[42],butnoevidenceoftheirpotentialcarcinogeniceffectswasfoundin
coffee drinkers in numerous epidemiologic studies (see Chapter 32). The weak
positiverelationshipbetweencoffeedrinkingandtheoccurrenceofbladderand
urinary tract cancer resided possibly on bias or confounding factors [43] and
could in no way be con (cid:1) rmed for renal cancer in a large prospective study [44].
Some of the coffee constituents are even suggested to be protective [45], and

InthecaseoffumonisinB ,ithasbeenshown,,howeverthatitcausesinduction

of liver cancer in rats after administration of relatively high doses [29], and it is
notable that it has been postulated that the increased incidence of esophageal
cancer in countries with high contamination levels of fusarium-infected foods
(e.g., South Africa and China) may be due to exposure to these toxins [30].
The mechanism of carcinogenic action is possibly caused by both, genotoxic and
nongenotoxic mechanisms [31]. Although fumonisin B is not a bacterial muta-
1
gen[32],itcauses(oxidative)DNAdamageinmammaliancellsandinratkidneyand
is a clastogenic agent (induction of micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations in
mammaliancells)[33].Thenongenotoxicmechanismsincludecomplexalterations
of cellular signaling pathways by disruption of lipid metabolism and changes in
polyunsaturated fatty acids and phospholipid pools that eventually lead to an
imbalanceofboth,apoptosisandproliferationrates[31].
