Mutagenicity of nitrosamines formed from nitrosation of spermidine. 1979

J H Hotchkiss, and R A Scanlan, and W Lijinsky, and A W Andrews

5 nitrosamines formed from the nitrosation of spermidine were investigated for mutagenicity using various strains of Salmonella typhimurium in the presence and absence of S9 mix. Using the plate incorporation method, 3-butenyl-(2-propenyl)-N-nitrosamine, 3-hydroxybutyl (2-hydroxypropyl)-N-nitrosamine, 4-hyroxybutyl-(2-hydroxypropyl)-N-nitrosamine, 4 hydroxybutyl-(3-hydroxypropyl)-N-nitrosamine, and in the liquid test 3-hydroxybutyl-(3-hydroxypropyl)-N-nitrosamine were mutagenic in the absence of S9 mix.

D013095 Spermidine A polyamine formed from putrescine. It is found in almost all tissues in association with nucleic acids. It is found as a cation at all pH values, and is thought to help stabilize some membranes and nucleic acid structures. It is a precursor of spermine.
D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
