The induction of mutations at the HPRT locus and cytotoxicities of 4 vermiculin derivatives 2-4 and 6 were examined in V79 Chinese hamster cells and compared with those of the parent compound vermiculin (1). Derivatives prepared by hydrogenation were less toxic and mutagenic or non toxic and non mutagenic. The substitution at position 13 affected the evaluated biological effects. The results suggest that in vitro metabolism of vermiculin resulted in decreased cytotoxicity and mutagenicity.

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.
