Embryotoxic effects induced by aminopyrine were studied in two inbred strains of mice, C57BL/6N and DBA/2N. Aminopyrine was given by subcutaneous injection at a dose of 200 mg/kg on day 7, 8 and 9 of gestation. In both strains, aminopyrine-induced malformations such as omphalocele, club foot and kinky tail were observed, but the incidence of malformations was significantly higher in C57BL/6N than in DBA/2N. Maternal plasma levels of aminopyrine and its metabolites were significantly higher in C57BL/6N, compared to DBA/2N. Further, reciprocal crosses between these two strains were used to clarify whether the maternal or fetal genotype is more important in aminopyrine-induced embryotoxicity. F1 hybrid embryos developing in C57BL/6N or DBA/2N mothers were as resistant as inbred DBA/2N. These results suggest that strain differences in susceptibility to aminopyrine may depend on fetal genotype rather than maternal factors.

D008431 Maternal-Fetal Exchange Exchange of substances between the maternal blood and the fetal blood at the PLACENTA via PLACENTAL CIRCULATION. The placental barrier excludes microbial or viral transmission. Transplacental Exposure,Exchange, Maternal-Fetal,Exposure, Transplacental,Maternal Fetal Exchange
D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D008811 Mice, Inbred DBA An inbred strain of mouse. Specific substrains are used in a variety of areas of BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH such as DBA/1J, which is used as a model for RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.

D005333 Fetus The unborn young of a viviparous mammal, in the postembryonic period, after the major structures have been outlined. In humans, the unborn young from the end of the eighth week after CONCEPTION until BIRTH, as distinguished from the earlier EMBRYO, MAMMALIAN.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
