Methapyrilene is inactive in the hepatocyte-mediated Chinese hamster ovary/hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase mutational assay. 1984

D A Casciano, and H M Schol

Methapyrilene, tested at both non-hepatocytotoxic and hepatocytotoxic concentrations, failed to induce somatic mutations in the hepatocyte-mediated Chinese hamster ovary/hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) mutational assay. These data support the conclusion that methapyrilene induces the carcinogenesis process through a non-DNA damaging mechanism, suggested when this antihistamine previously failed to induce a genotoxic response in several in vitro test systems developed to detect carcinogens and mutagens.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007041 Hypoxanthine Phosphoribosyltransferase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate and hypoxanthine, guanine, or MERCAPTOPURINE to the corresponding 5'-mononucleotides and pyrophosphate. The enzyme is important in purine biosynthesis as well as central nervous system functions. Complete lack of enzyme activity is associated with the LESCH-NYHAN SYNDROME, while partial deficiency results in overproduction of uric acid. EC 2.4.2.8.

D010053 Ovary The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE.
