The commercial fungicide methyl 1-[(butylamino) carbonyl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate (benomyl) is teratogenic in rats. Its mode of action is believed to be related to its ability to inhibit the polymerization of brain tubulin. In this study its effects were studied in cultured neuronal cells during differentiation and neurite outgrowth. Mouse NB2a and human SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were induced to differentiate by addition of dibutyryl cyclic AMP and at the same time were exposed to various concentrations of benomyl. Benomyl significantly inhibited neurite outgrowth in both cell lines at concentrations of 10(-8) M and above with IC50 values of 5.9 x 10(-7) M and 1.0 x 10(-6) M in the NB2a and SH-SY5Y cells respectively. The results show that benomyl inhibits neuronal cell differentiation at concentrations likely to be achieved during the development of fetal abnormalities in rats in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome. (From DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2099-2101; Curr Opin Oncol 1998 Jan;10(1):43-51) Neuroblastomas
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D016501 Neurites In tissue culture, hairlike projections of neurons stimulated by growth factors and other molecules. These projections may go on to form a branched tree of dendrites or a single axon or they may be reabsorbed at a later stage of development. "Neurite" may refer to any filamentous or pointed outgrowth of an embryonal or tissue-culture neural cell. Neurite
