Abstract: Purpose: To study the oral acute toxicity and mutagenicity of Polyoxometalates α-K8H2[SiW9Ti3O40]•15H2O for clinic application(α-Ti3). Methods: The studies were conducted with acute toxicity test,Ames test,micronuclei test and chromosome aberration test on CHO cell in vitro. Results: ① LD50 in mice was 2 055.36 mg/kg ,it was a low-grade toxicity compound .②The results of Ames test showed no mutagenic effects with the concentration ranged from 31.3 to 500 μg/plate with or without S9 mixture added. ③In micronuclei test,the mice orally received 25,50,125 mg/kg level of α-Ti3,no mutagenic effects were observed,and no significant increase was observed on polychromatophil.④The chromosome aberration ratio of α-Ti3 was no significant discrepancy compared with the control on CHO cells,with the concentration ranged from 40 to 320 μg /ml with or without S 9 mixture added. Conclusion: The toxicity of α-Ti 3 was low and no mutagenicity was observed in the experiment.
