[Mutagenicity test of antithyroid agent, methimazole--dominant lethal mutation test on male mice (author's transl)]. 1979

K Akatsuka, and T Hashimoto, and K Takeuchi, and M Ohhira

Mutagenicity test of Methimazole (MMI) was performed by means of dominant lethal mutation test in the male mice. Male mice were treated with a single s.c. injection of 45 mg/kg or 90 mg/kg MMI. Mean body weights were slightly decreased and mating rates were low immediately after treatment of MMI. Mean numbers of living implants at any periods examination up to 6 weeks after the treatment were compared with Salin Control, indicating lack of dominant lethality of MMI. On the other hand, EMS and MMC known mutagens and reference agents used in the present study, induced dominant lethalities at a single s.c. injection respectively.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008713 Methimazole A thioureylene antithyroid agent that inhibits the formation of thyroid hormones by interfering with the incorporation of iodine into tyrosyl residues of thyroglobulin. This is done by interfering with the oxidation of iodide ion and iodotyrosyl groups through inhibition of the peroxidase enzyme.

D008937 Mitomycins A group of methylazirinopyrroloindolediones obtained from certain Streptomyces strains. They are very toxic antibiotics used as ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENTS in some solid tumors. PORFIROMYCIN and MITOMYCIN are the most useful members of the group.
