Reactions of cysteine with N-methyl-N-nitroso-p-toluenesulfonamide and N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine

N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine: reactions of possible significance to biological activity with mammalian cells.

N-Methyl-N-nitroso-p-toluene­sulfon­amide

The crystal structure of the title compound, C8H10N2O3S, displays predominant C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding and π-π stacking inter-actions. The hydrogen bonds are between the O atoms of the sulfonyl group and H atoms on methyl groups. The π-π stacking inter-actions occur between adjacent aromatic rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.868 (11) Å. These inter-actions lead to the formation of cha...

Gibberella fujikuroi mutants obtained with UV radiation and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine.

N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (nitrosoguanidine) and to a lesser extent UV radiation are very mutagenic for Gibberella microconidia. The recommended nitrosoguanidine doses lead to much higher frequencies of mutants than are found in other microorganisms. The frequency of mutants among the survivors increases linearly with the nitrosoguanidine dose (molar concentration X time); the absolu...

Ossification of the N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine-induced small intestine adenocarcinomas in rats.

Eighty rats out of 233 developed malignant tumors in the stomach and small intestine by administration of 100 micrograms/ml N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in drinking water for 28 weeks. Fifteen lesions (30%) among the 50 small intestinal carcinomas showed ossification in the tumor, while none in the sarcomas (12 lesions) or gastric adenocarcinomas (59 lesions) showed ossification....

Chemical modification of viral RNA. VI. The action of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine.

N-Methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG, "nitrosoguanidine") has been extensively used as an effective mutagen for DNA-containing organisms and virusesl-4 but appears not to have been used with RNA viruses. Nothing definitive seems to have been reported about its mode of action. This paper deals with the effects of MNNG on the infectivity, mutation frequency, and base composition of tobacco ...
