The Effkrcts of Substituents Introduced into 9 - and DNA Binding AMnity Aminoacridine on Frameshift Mutagenicity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Some derivatives ot' 9-aminoacridine (1) were synthesized, and their frameshift mutagenicity and DNA binding aMnity were studied. The introduction of a methyl group into the acridine ring of 1 reduced the mutagenic activity and the intercalative DNA binding aMnity, whjle {he introdu ¢ tion of chlorine increased them. Halogenated derivatSyes f 1 showed higher toxicity against Saintonella mphiinurium TAI537.

متن کاملFrameshift mutations produced by 9-aminoacridine in wild-type, uvrA and recA strains of Escherichia coli; specificity within a hotspot.
The endogenous tonB gene of Escherichia coli was used as a target for 9-aminoacridine-induced mutations that were identified in recA(-) and uvrA(-) cells. The cytotoxicity of 9-aminoacridine was enhanced in the uvrA and recA strains compared to the wild-type strain, and the mutagenicity of 9-aminoacridine in the uvrA and recA strains was similar to that in the wild type. For all three strains, ...
متن کاملEnhancement of Mutagenic Actiyity of 9 - into the Molecule Aminoacridineby Introducing a Nitro Group
Mutagenic activity and DNA interca]ation were examined for 9-aminoacridine (9-AA) and its deriyatiyes. Introduction of a nitro group into the 9-AA molecule was found to enhance the actiyity enormously as was detected by the Ames test. Acetylation of amino group at 9-position of acridine ring inhibited the intercalation, the frameshift activity disappearing. Rat liyer S9 conyerted 9-AA metabolic...
متن کاملMutagenicity of acridines in a reversion assay based on tetracycline resistance in plasmid pBR322 in Escherichia coli.
The mutagenicity of a series of acridine compounds was studied in an assay based on the reversion of mutations in the tetracycline-resistance gene (tet) of plasmid pBR322 in Escherichia coli. Mutations that restore the tetracycline-resistant phenotype were detected in tetracycline-sensitive strains carrying mutant plasmids. Mutations that revert by +2, +1, -1 and -2 frameshift mutations and by ...
متن کاملAcridinecarboxamide topoisomerase poisons: structural and kinetic studies of the DNA complexes of 5-substituted 9-amino-(N-(2-dimethylamino)ethyl)acridine-4-carboxamides.
For a series of antitumor-active 5-substituted 9-aminoacridine-4-carboxamide topoisomerase II poisons, we have used X-ray crystallography and stopped-flow spectrophotometry to explore relationships between DNA binding kinetics, biological activity, and the structures of their DNA complexes. The structure of 5-F-9-amino-[N-(2-dimethylamino)ethyl]-acridine-4-carboxamide bound to d(CGTACG)(2) has ...
