Mutagenic activity of cytostatic methyl hydrazones with different strains of Salmonella typhimurium. 1979

D Gericke, and R Braun, and W Dittmar

Experiments are performed to ascertain the mutagenic properties of four new cytostatic methyl-hydrazones in the Ames test using different strains of Salmonella typhimurium. As could be demonstrated all four hydrazones are mutagenic per se without a metabolic activation through rat liver microsomes (S-9 fraction). Whereas the beta-chloroethyl hydrazones B1 and B2 cause a base-pair substitution with the strains TA100 and TA1535 the methyl-hydrazones EB4 and CyB4 both cause base-pair substitution with TA100 and frameshift mutation with TA98. At both strains the mutagenic activity of Cy84 ist powerful. Furthermore, no relation could be detected between the mutagenic properties of the methyl-hydrazones and their alkylating behaviour on 4-(4-nitrobenzyl)-pyridine.
