BCNU and 10 related chloroethylnitrosoureas were tested for their ability to induce sex-linked recessive lethals in Drosophila spermatozoa. All chloroethyl-nitrosoureas tested were potent mutagens.Among the substances with one chloroethylnitrosourea group, chlorozotocin, BCNU and methanesulfonyloxyethyl chloroethylnitrosourea exhibited the strongest mutagenic effects. Two hydroxyalkyl chloroethylnitrosoureas behaved as potent mutagens too, although the mutation frequencies obtained were one order of magnitude lower relative to the other substances.Among the compounds with two chloroethylnitrosourea groups, bisCNU-ethane and bisCNU-diphenylmethane were most active. When the interconnecting polymethylene chain was elongated from 2 methylene groups (bisCNU-ethane) to 6 methylene groups (bisCNU-hexane), the mutagenic activity decreased by a factor of 2. The mutagenic activity of polymethylene bischloroethylnitrosoureas with connecting chains of intermediate length was not different from bisCNU-hexane.Differences in mutagenic activity were supposed to reflect different concentrations reaching the target cells, possibly in part as a result of differences in transportability of the substances. 相似文献

We have investigated the genotoxic effects of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-nitrosourea (HENU). We have chosen this agent because of its demonstrated ability to produce N7-(2-hydroxyethyl) guanine (N7-HOEtG) and O6-(2-hydroxyethyl) 2′-deoxyguanosine (O6-HOEtdG); two of the DNA alkylation products produced by 1,3-bis (2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU). For these studies, we have used the Big Blue Rat-2 cell line that contains a lambda/lacI shuttle vector. Treatment of these cells with HENU produced a dose dependent increase in the levels of N7-HOEtG and O6-HOEtdG as quantified by HPLC with electrochemical detection. Treatment of Big Blue Rat-2 cells with either 0, 1 or 5 mM HENU resulted in mutation frequencies of 7.2±2.2×10−5, 45.2±2.9×10−5 and 120.3±24.4×10−5, respectively. Comparison of the mutation frequencies demonstrates that 1 and 5 mM HENU treatments have increased the mutation frequency by 6- and 16-fold, respectively. This increase in mutation frequency was statistically significant (P<0.001). Sequence analysis of HENU-induced mutations have revealed primarily G:C→A:T transitions (52%) and a significant number of A:T→T:A transversions (16%). We propose that the observed G:C→A:T transitions are produced by the DNA alkylation product O6-HOEtdG. These results suggest that the formation of O6-HOEtdG by BCNU treatment contributes to its observed mutagenic properties. 相似文献

Amiodarone (AM) is an effective antidysrhythmic agent, restricted in use by the development of adverse effects, including potentially fatal AM-induced pulmonary toxicity (AIPT). Although the pathogenesis of AIPT is unknown, an oxidant mechanism has been proposed. The present study evaluated the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in AM-induced toxicity. The effect of inhibiting lung antioxidant defense on in vivo development of AIPT was evaluated in hamsters. Lung glutathione reductase activity was inhibited by 66%, 6 hours following administration of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) (20 mg/kg i.p.). When AM (1.83 μmol) was administered intratracheally 6 hours after BCNU, toxicity was enhanced, as indicated by lung hydroxyproline content and histological evaluation 21 days later. However, BCNU treatment did not affect AM-induced alterations in lung glutathione, suggesting that the increased toxicity was not due to decreased antioxidant capacity following BCNU. The effect of BCNU on AM cytotoxicity in vitro was evaluated using rabbit lung alveolar macrophages. Incubation with 5 μM BCNU for 2 hours caused greater than 95% inhibition of glutathione reductase activity. However, BCNU treatment had no effect on 146 μM AM-induced cytotoxicity, as assessed by lactate dehydrogenase latency following 12 hours of incubation. Rabbit macrophages loaded with 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescin, which is oxidized by ROS to fluorescent 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCF), were used to evaluate ROS generation by AM. Incubation of macrophages with AM (73 or 146 μM) for 1 hour, with or without the catalase inhibitor sodium azide (1 mM), did not result in DCF formation. Overall, these results do not support the hypothesis that AIPT is due to ROS action. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Antibodies reacting specifically with HeLa cell chromatin can be elicited by immunization with dehistonized HeLa chromatin preparations. The nature of these chromatin-associated antigens was investigated by cross-linking with UV irradiation or by in vitro exposure of chromatin to 1-methyl-1-nitrosourea (MNU) or 1,3-bis-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU). With the exception of 1-methyl-1-nitrosourea the described treatment of chromatin (native or dehistonized) significantly increased its immunological reactivity. Dissociation of the chromosomal proteins from DNA by concentrated salt-urea solutions essentially abolished the immunological reactivity of the residual chromatin pellets. The immunological activity was found in the supernatant protein fraction after its reconstitution with purified human placenta DNA. UV irradiation or alkylation of chromatin cross-linked the active proteins to DNA and prevented their dissociation. It is concluded that the immunologically cell-specific antigens in HeLa chromatin exist as closely associated complexes of chromosomal protein(s) with DNA. 相似文献

Streptozotocin, 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) and N-methyl nitrosourea, compounds with both oncogenic and cytotoxic properties, increased guanylate cyclase activity in the 100 000 × g soluble fractions of rat renal cortex and liver 35- to 65-fold over basal values. Particulate enzyme activities of these tissues were increased 2- to 4-fold by a maximally effective concentration of the nitrosoureas. In the presence of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, maximally effective concentrations of these nitrosoureas increased cyclic GMP accumulation of hepatic and renal cortical slices to peak levels 7- to 10-fold over control in 30 min. By contrast, with the structurally related carcinogen N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) peak increases occurred in 5–10 min and were 40- to 70-fold over control levels in renal cortex and liver, respectively. Unlike the Ca2+-dependent actions of cholinergic stimuli on cyclic GMP, the nitrosoureas and MNNG increased cyclic GMP in either the presence or absence of extracellular Ca2+. Moreover, while basal soluble guanylate cyclase of renal cortex was highly Mn2+-dependent and decreased 85% when either Mg2+ or Ca2+ was employed as sole divalent cation in reaction mixtures, the actions of nitrosoureas on enzyme activity were well expressed with either Mn2+ or Mg2+, but not with Ca2+, as sole divalent cation. Improved utilization of Mg2+ by guanylate cyclase in the presence of nitrosoureas would favor enhanced enzyme activity under cellular conditions where Mg2+ is abundant. In the presence of maximally stimulatory concentrations of streptozotocin or BCNU, high concentrations of Mg2+ or Mn2+ further increased soluble guanylate cyclase, suggesting important differences in metal and nitrosourea stimulation of enzyme activity.Preincubation of supernatant fractions with nitrosoureas plus dithiothreitol inhibited the action of the N-nitroso compounds to increase renal cortical guanylate cyclase. Glutathione and cysteine were also inhibitory, but less effective than dithiothreitol. Initial incubation of nitrosoureas with dithiothreitol in buffer alone similarly suppressed the subsequent action of the N-nitroso compounds on guanylate cyclase, and implicated direct chemical interactions. Prior incubation of renal cortical supernatant fractions with the SH blockers N-ethylmaleimide or maleimide significantly suppressed guanylate cyclase activation mediated by streptozotocin or BCNU. Direct drug interactions seemed unlikely, since effects of the inhibitors were optimally expressed by initial exposure of the supernatant fraction of tissue to the SH blockers and were not potentiated by a 30 min preincubation of the SH blockers and nitrosoureas in buffer alone.Thus, nitrosoureas activate and alter the metal requirements of soluble guanylate cyclase and increase cellular cyclic GMP in the presence or absence of extracellular Ca2+. Activation of soluble guanylate cyclase by nitrosoureas may involve an interaction of these agents with tissue SH groups, and possibly SH to SS transformation. Stimulation of the guanylate cyclase system by nitrosoureas could be related to the oncogenic actions of these agents. 相似文献

L5178Y mouse lymphoblastic leukemia cells are auxotrophic for l-asparagine (ASN) and have been widely used as a model system for studies on l-asparagine independence, were treated with known chemical mutagens to investigate the molecular basis of this mutation. Mutagens which primarily induce base pair substitutions—ethyl methanesullfonate (EMS) and N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)—as well as those which induce frame-shift mutations (the acridine half-mustards ICR-372 and ICR-191) each increased the frequency of ASN+ cells in treated cultures to at least ten times the usual background frequency of 1 to 2 ASN+ cells per 106 cells. The effectiveness of both classes of mutagens indicates that the change to asparagine prototrophy might occur by a mechanism other than, or in addition to, reversion of a specific base pair, point mutation. The mutability of this easily assayed nutritional genetic marker in a cell line that can be grown either in vitro or in vivo may provide a useful system for assay of other agents of unknown mutagenic potential. 相似文献

2-Chloroethylnitrosoureas (CNU) are antineoplastic agents whose therapeutic dose is limited by toxic and carcinogenic side effect. The clinically used drugs, bis-(2-chloroethyl)nitrosourea (BCNU) and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-nitrosourea (HECNU) and their analogue N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosocarbamoyl-glycinamide (CNC-GA) were tested for mutagenicity and toxicity in the Salmonella typhimurium tester strain TA1535 in the presence and absence of glutathione (GSH). All 3 compounds proved to be potent mutagens. The cytotoxicity of these CNUs, however, varied depending on their carbamoylating activity. These cytotoxic effects were decreased considerably by the addition of GSH. It has been shown that the isocyanate decomposition product of the 2-chloroethylnitrosoureas reacts with GSH yielding S-carbamoylated GSH derivatives. The adducts resulting from coincubation of BCNU or HECNU with GSH, 2-chloroethyl-S-carbamoyl-GSH and 2-hydroxy-S-carbamoyl-GSH, were also tested for their mutagenic activity. While the hydroxyethylated compound exhibited no effects, 2-chloroethyl-S-carbamoyl-GSH and its cysteine analogue, 2-chloroethyl-S-carbamoyl-GSH, were strong mutagens. Further experiments with 3-chloropropyl-S-carbamoyl-GSH and t-butyl-S-carbamoyl-GSH indicate that a chlorine substituent in the beta position is necessary for the induction of a potent mutagenic response. 相似文献

Caffeine-induced enhancement of chromosome damage in human lymphocytes treated with methyl-methanesulphonate, mitomycin C and X-rays 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A Brogger 《Mutation research》1974,23(3):353-360
Two hypothese have been put forward in the literature to explain the synergistic effect of caffeine with several mutagens: (1) binding of caffeine to DNA, and (2) inhibition of DNA repair.Autoradiographic studies with 3H- and 14C-labelled caffeine did not support the binding hypothesis. Caffeine enchanced in a synergistic way the amount of chromatid breaks and exchanged induced in human lymphocytes with methyl-methanesulphonate (MMS), mitomycin C (MC) and X-rays. The results are best explained if caffiene inhibits a post-replication repair process, particularly the filling-in of gaps in the newly synthesized DNA. 相似文献

Pharmacologic blockade of chloride channel synergistically enhances apoptosis of chemotherapeutic drug-resistant cancer stem cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
1,3-Bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) is the most commonly used chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). However, BCNU chemotherapy fails due to subpopulations of intrinsic resistant-cells within the tumor mass. In our previous study, we dissociated BCNU-resistant cancer stem cells (CSCs) and observed the over-expression of multiple ion channel genes related to drug efflux. In the present study, we identified chloride intracellular channel 1 (CLIC1) in dissociated-BCNU-resistant CSCs using 2-DE and MALDI-TOF/MS analysis. To develop the specific target therapy of BCNU-resistant CSCs, we evaluated the drug-sensitivity of these CSCs using the chloride channel blocker, 4,4′-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid (DIDS). When combined with BCNU, DIDS synergistically increased the apoptotic events of BCNU-resistant CSCs in vitro and augmented BCNU sensitivity ex vivo. These findings suggest that CLIC1 is involved in the resistance of BCNU-resistant CSCs and BCNU/DIDS combined-therapy can provide valuable insight for promoting apoptosis or sensitizing glioblastomas to BCNU chemotherapy. 相似文献

Crosslinking of chromosomal proteins to DNA in HeLa cells by UV gamma radiation and some antitumor drugs 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Immunochemical techniques were used to investigate the protein-DNA crosslinking by ultraviolet (UV) and gamma radiation as well as 1,3-bis-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) or cis- and trans-diamminedichloroplatinum II (cis-DDP and trans-DDP). Antisera to 0.35 M NaCl extract and 0.35 M NaCl residue of HeLa nuclei were employed. Both gamma and UV irradiation, exposure to cis- or trans-DDP and, to a lesser extent, BCNU, resulted in crosslinking of various antigens to the DNA. Although several antigens were crosslinked by all the employed agents, other exhibited agent-specific crosslinking patterns. 相似文献

N4-Hydroxycytidine, 5-methyl-N4-hydroxydeoxycytidine and 2-amino-N6-hydroxyadenine were tested for their mutagenic activity in S. typhimurium and E. coli cells. Reversion analysis of different markers was applied in a plate-test system, and 2-aminopurine was used as a reference mutagen. (i) 2-Amino-N6-hydroxyadenine was the most potent mutagen. In some cases it gave more than 1000 colonies of revertants per plate. (ii) N6-Hydroxycytidine was the least specific mutagen. Almost all the tested markers were inducible to revert by this analogue. (iii) The mutagenic specificity of 5-methyl-N4-hydroxydeoxycytidine seemed to be opposite to that of 2-aminopurine. This suggests that the former can induce transition of CG to TA. (iv) A comparison of the mutagenic actions of N4-hydroxycytidine and 5-methyl-N4-hydroxy-deoxycytidine showed that deoxyriboside analogues are not necessarily more efficient mutagens than ribonucleosides. (v) No purine or pyrimidine deficiency was needed for mutagenesis to occur for any of the mutagens investigated. (vi) The results on bacteria with different repair abilities suggest that base-analogue mutagenesis (except perhaps for BrdUrd) occurs mainly during replication of nucleic acids containing substituted nucleosides with bi-functional specificity. 相似文献

The nitrofurans, 2-(2-furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide (AF-2), N-[4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-thiazolyl]formamide (FANFT), nitrofurantoin, 5-nitro-2-furoic acid, 5-nitro-2-furamidoxime, 5-nitrofurfurylidene diacetate and the urine of rats fed these compounds, were assayed for mutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA100FR1. All the nitrofurans were mutagenic in the order: AF-2 and FANFT > nitrofurantoin > 5-nitro-2-furamidoxime > 5-nitrofurfurylidene diacetate > 5-nitro-2-furoic acid. Strain TA100 was more sensitive than TA100FR1 to the mutagenic influence of these nitrofurans. Only the urine of rats fed AF-2, FANFT and nitrofurantoin had mutagenic activity. Again, TA100 was more sensitive than TA100FR1. The mutagenicity of the urine was not increased by treatment with β-glucuronidase. AF-2, 2-amino-4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)thiazole (deformylated product of FANFT) and nitrofurantoin were excreted in the urine of rats fed these compounds; whereas the other nitrofurans were not excreted. 相似文献

Pyrolyzates of 10 peptides, 10 proteins and 5 naturally-occurring materials were tested for mutagenicity in the histidine-requiring mutants Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100. Significant mutagenic activity was detected with pyrolyzates of most of these materials. The pyrolyzates requred a liver microsomal fraction, as representative of mammalian metabolism, for their detection as mutagens. Among the pyrolyzates tested, the highest mutagenic activity was observed with that of a tryptophan-containing peptide. The pyrolyzate of protein obtained from tobacco leaf also showed mutagenicity. The higher the protein content in the leaf the higher the mutagenic activity of the pyrolyzate. Protein in a tobacco leaf may be the principal precursor of mutagens in tobacco-smoke condensate. 相似文献

Pyrolyzates of 25 amino acids and 5 indole derivatives were tested for mutagenicity in the histidine-requiring mutant Salmonella typhimurium TA 98. Significant mutagenic activity was detected with pyrolyzates of most of the amino acids. These pyrolyzates required a liver microsomal fraction, as representative of mammalian metabolism, to be detected as mutagens. Among the pyrolyzates tested, the highest mutagenic activity was observed with that of L-tryptophan. As little as 10 microgram of the pyrolyzate of L-tryptophan had detectable mutagenic activity toward TA 98. The optimal pyrolysis temperatures for the formation of mutagenic products were shown to be 500 degrees C for L-tryptophan and 600 degrees C for the other amino acids. The results from pyrolyses of some indole derivatives suggest that an amino group at the alpha-position to the carboxyl group of L-tryptophan plays an important role in the formation of mutagens. 相似文献

The nature of the N2 effect for ICR-170, i.e., the greater mutagenic and lethal activities of this agent in the presence of N2 than O2, has been studied at the ad-3 region of Neurospora crassa. The characteristics of the N2 effect for ICR-170 were that (1) the N2 effect with ICR-170 was displayed in conidia when N2 was administered during, but not before or after, ICR-170 treatment, (2) the highly increased mutagenic and lethal activities of ICR-170 in the presence of N2 were due to an anoxic condition rather than to the presence of N2 per se, (3) the high killing activity of ICR-170 under N2 was due largely to increased cytoplasmic inactivation, (4) the N2 effect was a general phenomenon at the ad-3 region of N. crassa, and (5) the highly ICR-170-induced mutation in conidia under N2 was attributable to an actual enhancement in the mutagenic activity of ICR-170 rather than to selective killing. With regard to the mechanisms of the N2 effect with ICR-170, results indicate that this effect (1) was not due to more extracellular oxidative degradation of ICR-170 molecules in the presence of O2, or to a greater uptake of ICR-170 by conidia under N2, but (2) was due to the inhibition of conidial respiration under an anoxic environment. 相似文献

Gliomas are the most frequent adult primary brain tumor, and are invariably fatal. The most common diagnosis glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) afflicts 12,500 new patients in the U.S. annually, and has a median survival of approximately one year when treated with the current standard of care. Alkylating agents have long been central in the chemotherapy of GBM and other gliomas. The DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), the principal human activity that removes cytotoxic O6-alkylguanine adducts from DNA, promotes resistance to anti-glioma alkylators, including temozolomide and BCNU, in GBM cell lines and xenografts. Moreover, MGMT expression assessed by immunohistochemistry, biochemical activity or promoter CpG methylation status is associated with the response of GBM to alkylator-based therapies, providing evidence that MGMT promotes clinical resistance to alkylating agents. These observations suggest a role for MGMT in directing adjuvant therapy of GBM and other gliomas. Promoter methylation status is the most clinically tractable measure of MGMT, and there is considerable enthusiasm for exploring its utility as a marker to assign therapy to individual patients. Here, we provide an overview of the biochemical, genetic and biological characteristics of MGMT as they relate to glioma therapy. We consider current methods to assess MGMT expression and discuss their utility as predictors of treatment response. Particular emphasis is given to promoter methylation status and the methodological and conceptual impediments that limit its use to direct treatment. We conclude by considering approaches that may improve the utility of MGMT methylation status in planning optimal therapies tailored to individual patients. 相似文献

Balb/c A31-1-1 cells were used for the study of transformation induction by chemicals with different mutagenic specificities. We show that survival of these cells and therefore the calculated transformation frequency per cells at risk is dependent upon the cell density at the time of treatment. It is suggested that equal cell densities should be used for measuring survival values and transformation induction. The quantitative results obtained are discussed in the light of the known mutagenic mechanisms of the chemicals tested. We also characterized morphologically transformed foci induced by different chemicals with respect to some biological properties. Anchorage independence was determined by testing growth in soft agar, loss of contact inhibition was quantitated by measuring maximum cell densities and malignancy was tested by tumor induction in nude mice. Although no very close correlation between these parameters and morphology was observed, the most malignant clones are also the ones with the highest values in the other tests. Our data make one or few genetical targets for transformation induction likely. We therefore speculate that the diverse phenotypes obtained might be due to differential activation of one or very few transforming genes in these cells. 相似文献

The kinetics of the luminescence of chlorophyll a in Chlorella vulgaris were studied in the time range from 0.2 μs to 20 μs after a short saturating flash () under various pretreatment including anaerobiosis, flashes, continuous illumination and various additions. A 1 μs luminescence component probably originating from System II was found of which the relative amplitude was maximum under anaerobic conditions for reaction centers in the state SPQ? before the flash, about one third for centers in the state S+PQ? or SPQ before the flash, and about one tenth for centers in the state S+PQ before the flash. S is the secondary donor complex with zero charge; S+ is the secondary donor complex with 1 to 3 positive charges; P, the primary donor, is the photoactive chlorophyll a, P-680, of reaction center 2; Q? is the reduced acceptor of System II, Q. Under aerobic conditions, where an endogenous quencher presumably was active, the luminescence was reduced by a factor two.The 1 μs decay of the luminescence is probably caused by the disappearance of P+ formed in the laser flash according to the reaction ZP+ → Z+P in which Z is the molecule which donates an electron to P+ and which is part of S. After addition of hydroxylamine, the 1 μs luminescence component changed with the incubation time exponentially (τ = 27 s) into a 30 μs component; during the same time, the variable fluorescence yield, measured 9 μs after the laser flash, decreased by a factor 2 with the same time constant. Hereafter in a second much slower phase the fluorescence yield decreased as an exponential function of the incubation time to about the dark value; meanwhile the 30 μs luminescence increased about 50% with the same time constant (τ = 7 min). Heat treatment abolished both luminescence components.The 1 μs luminescence component saturated at about the same energy as the System II fluorescence yield 60 μs after the laser flash and as the slower luminescence components. From the observation that the amplitude is maximum if the laser flash is given when the fluorescence yield is high after prolonged anaerobic conditions (state SQ?), we conclude that the 1 μs luminescence is probably caused by the reaction in which W is an acceptor different from Q. The presence of S+ reduced the luminescence amplitude to about one third. Two models are discussed, one with W as an intermediate between P and Q and another, which gives the best interpretation, with W on a side path. 相似文献

Ten imidazole derivatives were tested for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation by the microsomal fraction S9 mix. In a general
manner, derivatives tested exhibited a greater mutagenic activity in the TA100 strain comparing to the responses in TA 98.
In the standard plate incorporation assay, 8 of these substances (80%) were found to be mutagenic for at least one of the
two strains in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. Two compounds showed positive results in TA98 and 6 compounds
were also mutagenic in TA100 without S9. In the presence of S9 mix, all of the 10 substances were non-mutagenic in TA98, whereas
4 compounds were positive in TA100. The results suggested the mutagenic potentials of the imidazole derivatives particularly
inducing the reversion of base-pair substitutions. According to the structure-activity relationships phenyl groups in position
2 with different substituents can confer the mutagenic activity of the tested compounds. Methyl groups in different positions
of these phenyl substituents can cause different types of mutations. This mutagenic effect is observed more clearly when the
phenyl group is inhibited with a nitro group. 相似文献

Formation of 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline in a model system by heating creatinine, glycine and glucose 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A mixture of creatinine, glucose and glycine was heated in diethylene glycol containing 14% water for 2 h at 128 degrees C, and the mutagens formed were purified by XAD-2 column chromatography, acid-base partition, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, 'blue cotton' treatment and HPLC. Two mutagenic substances were isolated by HPLC. The major mutagen was identified by its UV absorption and mass and NMR spectra as 2-amino-3,8- dimethylimidazo [4,5-f]quinoxaline, which was originally isolated from fried beef. This finding supported the idea that creatinine, amino acids and sugars present in meat are precursors in the formation of the mutagenic imidazoquinoxaline derivative. 相似文献
