Hycanthone: a frameshift mutagen. 1971

P E Hartman, and K Levine, and Z Hartman, and H Berger

Rapid spot-test screening of antischistosomal agents reveals that hycanthone is a potent frameshift mutagen while the closely related compound, miracil D, is nonmutagenic in Salmonella. Both hycanthone and miracil D are frameshift mutagens for T4 bacteriophage during growth in Escherichia coli.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations

D012475 Salmonella A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that utilizes citrate as a sole carbon source. It is pathogenic for humans, causing enteric fevers, gastroenteritis, and bacteremia. Food poisoning is the most common clinical manifestation. Organisms within this genus are separated on the basis of antigenic characteristics, sugar fermentation patterns, and bacteriophage susceptibility.
D014966 Xanthenes Compounds with three aromatic rings in linear arrangement with an OXYGEN in the center ring. Xanthene
