Direct-acting mutagenicity of N4-aminocytidine derivatives bearing alkyl groups at the hydrazino nitrogens.

Abstract:

:To investigate the mechanism of N4-aminocytidine-induced mutagenesis, N'-alkyl-N4-aminocytidines and N4-alkyl-N4-aminocytidines were prepared and their mutagenicity on bacteria were assayed. N'-Methyl-N4-aminocytidine, N'-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N4-aminocytidine and N',N'-dimethyl-N4-aminocytidine showed direct-acting mutagenicity on S. typhimurium TA100 and E. coli WP2 uvrA, tester strains that are sensitive to base-pair substitutions. In contrast, N4-methyl-N4-aminocytidine, N4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N4-aminocytidine and N4,N'-dimethyl-N4-aminocytidine were not mutagenic on these bacteria. Since N'-methyl-N4-aminocytidine does not form hydrazones, the possibility that N4-aminocytidine causes mutation due to its reactivity with carbonyl compounds has been excluded. Furthermore, the fact that only those alkyl N4-aminocytidines having a hydrogen on the nitrogen at position 4 are mutagenic is consistent with the previously proposed mechanism in which the tautomerization between the amino and the imino forms of N4-aminocytosine allowing an ambiguous base pairing is the cause of the mutagenesis.
