چکیده

A series of 5 para-substituted alpha-methylstyrene oxide derivatives have been synthesized and together with alpha-methylstyrene oxide as well as styrene oxide have been studied as to their mutagenicity with the TA100 and TA1535 strains of Salmonella typhimurium. A multiple regression analysis model has been developed which describes the mutagenicity of the alpha-methylstyrene oxides in TA100. An increase in van der Waals volume was the most important variable in the model with greater improvement occurring with inclusion of the Hammett values for the para substituents on the compounds. The alpha-methylstyrene oxides were less active alkylating agents with 4-(p-nitrobenzyl)pyridine than styrene oxide and with pyridine all reactivity was at the beta-epoxide carbon. However all the alpha-methylstyrene oxide derivatives, except for the bromo compound where toxicity was evident, showed mutagenicity values either greater or comparable to that of styrene oxide. These studies would indicate that reactivity at the beta-carbon should also be a factor in describing the mutagenicity of the parent styrene oxide series.

Substituent effects on the mutagenicity of phenyl glycidyl ethers in Salmonella typhimurium

Phenyl glycidyl ether and 6 para-subst i tuted derivatives, the methoxy, tert-butyl, methyl, chloro, bromo and nitro compounds, were tested in the Ames' test for mutagenicity. With the exception of the tert-butyl derivative in TA1535, all 7 compounds were mutagenic in both strains TA100 and TA1535. Electron-donating groups in the para position decreased mutagenicity while electron-withdrawing g...

7 epoxide-containing compounds: allylbenzene oxide, styrene oxide, trans-beta-methylstyrene oxide, 4-chlorophenyl glycidyl ether, vinylcyclohexene dioxide, octene dioxide and hexene dioxide were evaluated for mutagenic activity in 4 histidine-requiring strains of Salmonella typhimurium, namely: TA1535, TA100, TA1537 and TA98. These epoxides, except trans-beta-methylstyrene oxide, were mutagenic...

Mutagenicity of aryl propylene and butylene oxides with salmonella.

10 aryl propylene oxides and 6 aryl butylene oxides were synthesized. Dose-mutagenicity relationships were studied for these compounds and for 1,2-epoxybutane, using both the preincubation and plate incorporation Ames tests with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA1535. Structure-mutagenicity relationships were further examined by concurrent testing at single doses with the plate incorpo...

Molecular requirements for the mutagenicity of malondialdehyde and related acroleins.

Malondialdehyde, a product of lipid peroxidation and prostaglandin biosynthesis, is mutagenic in Salmonella. To determine the molecular requirements for its mutagenicity, we tested a series of beta-substituted acroleins in Salmonella typhimurium hisD3052 . Mutagenicity is dependent on the steric bulk of the substituent (revertants/mumol) at the beta position: beta- methoxyacrolein , 220; beta- ...

4-Amino-4'-substituted biphenyls and 4-aminostilbenes substituted in the 3' or 4' position were studied for their in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity. The in vitro mutagenicity of the biphenyls with and without S9 activation was established with Salmonella strains TA98 and TA100 and that of the stilbenes with the same strains plus TA98/1,8-DNP6. The in vivo genotoxicity assay with both series of ...
