[Mutagenic activity of dioxydine].
A previous evaluation of mutagenic activity of some drugs and perspective substances is carried out using indicator microorganisms. The mutagenicity of dioxydine, a drag with discovered antibacterial activity, is investigated. Dioxydine is shown to induce reversions in mutant of Salmonella typhimurium TA-1950, the indicator strain which demonstrates mutagenic activity of agents, producing mutations of base pair substitution type. Dioxydine proved to affect logariphmiically growing bacterial culture with great activity. Mutageni effect of dioxydine is not modified itself in microsomal oxidation system in vitro. Some data concerning participation of excision reparation enzyme (uvr-B+ gene product) in repair of lethal damages induced by dioxydine, have been obtained. The dioxydine ability to cause bacterial gene mutations in host mediated assay as well as dominant and recessive sex-linked lethal mutations in Drosophila is demonstrated. Dioxydine is capable of inducing chromosome aberrations in bone marrow cells and dominant lethal mutations in mouse germ cells.
