The mutagenic effect of 21 new hydroxylamine derivatives was studied on biochemical mutants of Escherichia coli P-678 and Actinomyces rimosus 222. The Iver--Szybalsky method was used for the preliminary selection of mutagens. Dose-effect curves were plotted for the most efficient mutagens. Among the compounds studied 4 hydroxylamine derivatives were observed to have a mutagenic effect. The most efficient among them proved to be 0-(4-metoxybenzyl)-hydroxylamine and 0-(gamma-chlorocrotyl) hydroxylamine that induced reversions in the threonine locus of E. coli P-678 and in the lysine locus of Act. rimosus 222, being more efficient than hydroxylamine, the generally known mutagen. The dependence of the mutagenic activity of the compounds studied on their chemical structure is investigated.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009153 Mutagens Chemical agents that increase the rate of genetic mutation by interfering with the function of nucleic acids. A clastogen is a specific mutagen that causes breaks in chromosomes. Clastogen,Clastogens,Genotoxin,Genotoxins,Mutagen
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
D006898 Hydroxylamines Organic compounds that contain the (-NH2OH) radical.
D013302 Streptomyces A genus of bacteria that form a nonfragmented aerial mycelium. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. This genus is responsible for producing a majority of the ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS of practical value.
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.
